Summary: Standing in the shadow of the Founders
Review: Keyes makes it clear that our rights are not happenstance. They do not come from our laws, or our justices, or even our Constitution. As if he were a modern-day prophet, Keyes announces with boldness the same truth that was realized by our Founders- that freedom and liberty are authored by the Creator, and without said foundation there is neither. With undeniable logic demonstrating the fallacies of modern liberalism and uplifting the traditional values of American life, he roots these ideals firmly in the Declaration of Independence with a solid belief in the truths on which it is based. Keyes is a voice of clarity, in a wilderness of confusion, for our times- times in which we are being tempted to forget the noble passion, vision, and foundations on which our country was built. This is a book by a great emerging American statesman and is worth the read of all citizens willing to pledge their lives, their fortune, and their sacred honor to get back to the only truth that will set us free.

Summary: Solving problems instead of symptoms
Review: Mr. Keyes takes a stance on what he feels are the root causes for problems in this country in various different areas. Although you may not agree with all of his points it's refreshing that some people are actually intelligent enough to search for the underlying root causes for problems rather than just have government throw more money at them.
The interesting thought process also explores how the liberal government programs are leading this country to a socialistic society, where our very rights to earn a living and profit from it are slowly being deprived in favor of spreading the wealth to non-working recipients, without giving them any ability or desire to change their own situations. Through taxes, and higher taxes for people earning more, the government is dictating just how much of your money they can take and redistribute to people who take no responsibilities for themselves, their families, or their obligation to contribute to society rather than take from it.

Summary: real thinking from a real man
Review: There seems to be a great deal of confusion in those who accuse Alan Keyes of homophobia or sexual confusion in regards to gays. Mr. Keyes understands full well that the gay community suffers from what can only be called (and charitably at that)a moral handicap or more clearly, a moral disability. (This is not Keyes own argument but one that is implicit in the conservative movement's rejection of homosexuality as normality.) Homosexuality as a disability puts the whole movement in a new light. Keyes is opposed to spiritual devolution and those who try to pretend that their disabilities are a form of wholeness. Homosexuality is at best an attempt to balance something that is unbalanced, a seeking of masculine energy that has become disordered or was never in place to begin with. Genetic homosexuality would not change the parameters of this argument; gays are disabled in respect to those who have sexual desires that are channeled towards those of the opposite sex. As Gore Vidal once said, (paraphrased) being bisexual allows you to double your chances of getting a date. Homosexuality ensures that solitary masturbation will be improved with a partner. It might also be argued that masturbation is a homosexual act, so what might the big deal be about having a masturbation partner? It is around this issue that the crux of right and wrong, good and evil swirls. Homosexuality, I would argue is normal but so is murder and theft and rape. Are these desireable things? Take some time and think about it a bit before lashing out at conservatives who manage their genitals through marriage and make additional efforts to manage the wandering impulses of their testicles.

Summary: required reading for every college student
Review: This book should be read by all college students. Why? Because at most universities, students get indocrinated with only the "politically correct" viewpoints. Read this book to see what the other side has to say. Well written and very thought provoking. Alan Keyes is a man of integrity, very well educated, politically experienced and he would be a great choice for a future US President. His book presents real solutions to problems and show the mistakes we have made in our culture. This book shows the truth. Also, a very simple, short and easy book to read and inexpensive. Should definately be in every conservatives library. As a Martial Arts teacher, I even make this required reading for all my students to help develop their mental and spiritual side and learn about current American culture. I can't wait for Alan Keyes next book to come out.
