Comments on: Alan Keyes Attacks Sarah Palin’s Pro-Life Credentials http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/2009/12/06/alan-keyes-attacks-sarah-palins-pro-life-credentials/ A Voice for Tikkun Olam (healing the world) Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:04:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Josh Mincher http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/2009/12/06/alan-keyes-attacks-sarah-palins-pro-life-credentials/comment-page-1/#comment-28126 Josh Mincher Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:15:08 +0000 http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/?p=7770#comment-28126 Rather than being ideologically rigid, Alan Keyes might be rightfully avoiding the slippery slope. Very often in the past conservatives have supported politicians whose fundamental view of human nature and the polis is radically opposed to ours, but who say the right things, and even agree on practical policies. These politicians (George W. Bush?), while supportive in particulars, have in general done far more harm than good, precisely because they and their party view human beings and their governance in a radically different way than do conservatives. First principles DO matter. The neo-con path and the traditionally conservative path might cross at some points, but they lead in utterly different directions.

My interest is solely on the cult of Sarah, and the reactions of different conservatives to the same. I’m with you on that, Otto.

No one in their right mind would admit to something like that. How low can they go? Now the left wing media has another Sarah rumor started

“the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: “They were a minority type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.”

No one in their right mind would admit to something like that.
How low can they go?
