Keyes --- A "Powerhouse" and Champion of Human Rights
The first of the Keyes - Obama debates manifested the genius of Alan Keyes. Keyes, a mesmerizing speaker who has been compared to Abraham Lincoln, certainly proved himself to be the "powerhouse" that Lincoln was at the Lincoln - Douglas debates.
Abolishing the federal income tax, encouraging fair trade to promote manufacturing jobs in Illinois, improving our 70- year-old locks and dams to maintain the transport system which supports our agriculture, improving Amtrak, and developing a south suburban airport were just a few of the innovative ideas he discussed in tonight's debate.
However, the major and most crucial differences between the U.S. candidates (although there are many) that I detected in listening to them both speak were their views on traditional marriage and human life. Keyes supports traditional marriage and believes that marriage can only be defined as a union between a man and woman, while Obama supports same - sex unions.
Keyes is a strong pro-life supporter, while Obama has a record of consistently supporting infanticide. Obama supports abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy, partial birth abortion, and has voted against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act three times. He admitted that he voted against the act, which provides medical care to "fully born" babies to keep them alive, because he believes that it conflicts with Roe vs. Wade. Obama proudly boasts that he is civil rights' attorney, but whose rights is he protecting? He is certainly not protecting the rights of the most vulnerable and helpless human lives in our society today -- our infants! How can a man who cannot support the weakest and most vulnerable human beings in our society protect us and speak out in our defense?
Keyes, in sharp contrast to his opponent is a champion of human rights and is not afraid to stand up for his beliefs. He is someone who understands and will fight for the first and foremost of our constitutional rights the right to life.
