See Dr. Alan Keyes Going to Notre Dame to be Arrested: Calls on Pro-Lifers Nationwide to Join Him [UPDATED] via Pro-Ecclesia
I am of two minds of this. I am not a big fan of Keyes or for that matter Randal Terry. However I do think this peaceful civil disobedience has a long tradition in Catholic movements.
On the Catholic left this happens all the time as to causes. Think protest against the School of the Americas and getting arrested at sites where nuclear weapons are.
In fact where perhaps things go over the line on the Catholic Left it is rarely noted. See Catholic Workers Attempt to Arrest Karl Rove
Still with Keyes and Terry the way they go about it and their backgrounds is what is making the controversy.
The problem is that pro-lifers have to combat is the huge double standard. The left has a ton of fringe groups. Yet the mainstream left as causes they share are really not put in the same box with them. Think Code Pink versus the rest of the anti war left. The mainstream left for what reason is again not so linked in the media to Code Pink that do such things as interrupt the last Republican Convention.
The problem is making sure Keyes is not the public face the opposition to the Obama visit in the days ahead.
Alan Keyes deserves a medal for all he has done to protect our country from take over by radical s and protecting the unborn from evil doers.I would love to see a ticket with Keyes and Palin on it.We need leaders that do stand up to evil doers and people who dont respect our constitution.We have to many lame duck Republicans that need to go(Macshame for one).Keyes for vice President 2012.
ReplyDeleteAlan Keyes is a Saint.Where is the guts of the Catholic Church.Pope Paul would not play politics with the Kennedys and Washington and say its murder of babies and thats that.Patrick Kennedy is now banned from communion over his health care stand.I feel the church should of stood up during the Notre Dame and denounced the pro abortionist .Alan Keyes is a real American ,patriot,and Catholic.
