I generally don't like to see people fail. That is, unless the failure is on the shoulders of someone like, say, Dick Cheney or his ilk. Or a fiercely homophobic presidential wannabe who would reject his own daughter because of her sexual orientation.
In this case, I couldn't help but gloat when the Kansas City Star reported over the weekend that the Constitution Party gave its presidential slot to talk show host Chuck Baldwin, choosing Baldwin over Alan Keyes.
So is Keyes like Dick Cheney? Not quite. Keyes holds much less power.
But in one way, Keyes may be worse than Cheney. Cheney at least seems to accept his lesbian daughter Mary, to some extent. Not so Keyes, who threw his own lesbian daughter out of the house, stopped speaking to her, and refused to pay for her college tuition when she came out in 2005.
How ironic it is that Alan Keyes always tends to run on a "family values" platform.
Since when is it a family value to turn your back on your own child because of who she is and whom she happens to be attracted to?
