Is there anything worth dying for? ~ By Alan Keyes

Below, you will read some very excellent words of wisdom for Sen. Harry Reid and the Republicans In Name Only (RINOs), written by Alan Keyes. And then, following the excerpts from his column, you will find a very nice surprise. I have posted the video of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA," along with the lyrics to the song (which Alan Keyes says that Dingy Harry should listen to on November 3, 2010, after he is defeated).

God Bless the USA, and God Bless YOU, tea partiers!

The day after the election this November, I advise Majority Leader Harry Reid to listen to the whole Lee Greenwood song. Maybe then he'll understand why he no longer holds that powerful job in Washington. Tea-party people are putting their legs and arms, their heart and courage to the words. They are writing the tune that heralds the day of his departure. Are there still people in the GOP who hear it as well? Will they stand up in time to reassure us that when Obama's anti-American socialists are tossed out, real, proud, God Bless Americans will replace them? If so, Alleluia! – and pass the hymns of praise. If not, I don't think the tea-party people will let it be. They'll just act out another Greenwood verse or two and see to it that Americans can again breathe free.

Does Sen. Harry Reid have a more accurate understanding of the tea-party movement than RNC Chairman Michael Steele? Commenting on the little tsunami of tea partiers who flooded his hometown of Searchlight, Nev., ("to demand an end to the Senate majority leader's term") he reportedly said "he was confused about what tea partiers mean when they cite the Constitution and call for liberty, freedom and limited federal government. 'The people who are really upset don't really know why they're upset. … What do they mean?'" The only aspect of the tea-party movement Reid professes to understand is the "anger at government and Washington during a recession."

This means, of course, that Mr. Majority Leader Reid has something in common with the RINOs of the GOP, including RNC leader Michael Steele. The difference is this: Reid sees the concern for liberty, while pretending not to understand what it's about. The GOP leaders pretend to understand the concern for liberty, while refusing to acknowledge that it's much on the hearts of tea-party participants. They prefer to promote the half-truth that it's all about debt and deficits.

For both Reid and the GOP leadership, the fulcrum of politics is money. They share, and want the American people to accept, a purely materialistic definition of political goods. The Democrats seek votes by promising to redistribute the goods they say the Republicans want to keep for the rich. The Republicans seek votes by promising better administration of the goods the Democrats squander with their destructive taxation and spending. That way there will be more goodies for everyone. Neither Obama faction Democrats or RINO Republicans are authentically concerned to preserve the democratic republican form of government or respect everyone's God-given rights.

My experience at the tea-party gatherings and with the tea-party organizers convinces me that these matters are of deep concern to participants in the movement. They seem to have little trust for the Democrats' government Santa Claus or the Republicans' green-eyeshade efficiency experts.

LYRICS:

If tomorrow all the things were gone,

I'd worked for all my life.

And I had to start again,

with just my children and my wife.

I'd thank my lucky stars,

to be livin here today.

'Cause the flag still stands for freedom,

and they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American,

where at least I know I'm free.

And I wont forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.

'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,

God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,

to the hills of Tennessee.

Across the plains of Texas,

From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,

and New York to L.A.

Well there's pride in every American heart,

and its time we stand and say.

That I'm proud to be an American,

where at least I know I'm free.

And I wont forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.

'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,

God bless the USA.

And I'm proud to be and American,

where at least I know I'm free.

And I wont forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.

'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,

God bless the USA.
