"Neocon" Alan Keyes appeared on Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes" last night and spent his entire appearance heatedly arguing with one of the hosts--Sean Hannity.

Hannity was critical of Keyes' adamance that he would never vote for a pro-abortion Republican candidate, whether it would risk handing the election to the Democrats or not. Keyes strenuously argued that political expediency is never a good excuse for voting for the "lesser of two evils," saying "The lesser of two evils is still evil."

"If evil is going to triumph, it will do so without my help. But if good is defeated, it will be despite 110% of my effort," Keyes said.

This from a "neocon" who opposes military intervention in other countries, denies the authority of the federal judiciary over state governments, and believes the income tax should be abolished.

As I recently told one self-described "paleocon" who sees Keyes as just another "neo," the difference between me and them is that I can respect and work with someone who only agrees with me 97% of the time. But much of the "paleo" movement demands absolute 100% adherence to its idiosyncratic orthodoxy, which virtually guarantees that it will never be an effective movement at all, but rather a million different "movements" comprised of one person each. If Alan Keyes is not "paleo" enough for that so-called movement, then it ain't worth having.
