" Once upon a time, back when he was running for president and shortly thereafter, Alan Keyes was simply treated as a kind of conservative eccentric along the lines of Crazy Uncle Liberty (!) and his spalpeen, Senator Aqua Buddha. Keyes had some nutty ideas that he expressed fairly well, and had enough cred as a national spokesman for something or another that liberal MSNBC (briefly) gave him his own talk show, with the singularly hilarious title of Alan Keyes Is Making Sense. Since then, as was probably inevitable, he has strayed very far from the pack. Moreover, it&amp;#039;s not at all unreasonable to see, in certain recurring reports, signs that the U.S. government is preparing our military forces to do violence against Christian denominations that refuse to abandon God&amp;#039;s Word on matters like homosexuality. Just the other day, I read that &amp;quot;soldiers in the U.S. military have been told in a training briefing that evangelical Christians are the No. 1 extremist threat to America....Catholicism and ultra-orthodox Judaism are also on the list of religious extremist organizations.&amp;quot;  No, it is not unreasonable to see that. It is flatly, fking insane to see that. There&amp;#039;s an awful lot of this kind of rhetoric being bandied about these days, and all of it is dangerous. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
