Dear Pro-life Activist:
An outrage has occurred. And together, we need to right this wrong.
Randall Terry, the Founder of Operation Rescue, has lost everything because of his work in rescuing babies from abortion. Abortion clinics, Planned Parenthood, NOW, and the ACLU have been suing Randall in court for over ten years. They finally won, and took everything Randall owned.
It is our strong conviction that Randall has endured this prolonged conflict not only on behalf of unborn babies, but also on behalf of the entire pro-life community. And it is our strong belief that the pro-life community should join together to replace what was “consumed by the locusts.”
We want to restore what the enemy took, and help equip Randall for the battles that lie ahead. In spite of everything he has endured, he is still in the fight.
If you have appreciated and been inspired by Randall Terry’s many years of unselfish work for Christ and for the unborn, we encourage you to join us in helping him rebuild his life.
Please make as generous a contribution as possible, would you? $25, $50, or $1,000 if you can, and then show this letter to a pro-life friend and your church and ask them if they would like to give to our fund too.
Randall has stood in the line of fire for years. Now let’s stand up for him. Please do what you can! Make your check out to the Terry Family Trust.
God bless you,

Praising Randall Terry for his efforts of course raises the interesting questions of just how much does Keyes agree with Terry. Randall has some unfortunate baggage in his personal life including a daughter who converted to Islam when she became pregnant and a gay adopted son Randall has disowned (neither kid is unfortunate other than in relation to the Terry’s views). But even more unfortunate is his belief in theocracy. Usually people joke about someone being a theocrat, but in the case of Randall Terry, it is no joke.
Of course, one of the more pedantic lectures from sensitive pony-tail guy in college always involved the overuse of the word patriarchy and some babbling about overthrowing it. Randall outdoes SPTG with a stirring defense of patriarchy:
Randall Terry and many other Christian Right leaders earnestly believe that someday they will be running this country. What kind of “Christian nation” do Terry and his comrades envision? Well, in referring to doctors who perform abortions, Terry said, “When I, or people like me, are running the country, you’d better flee, because we will find you, we will try you, and we’ll execute you. I mean every word of it.” He added, “I will make it part of my mission to see to it that they are tried and executed.”
“You say, ‘This is extreme!'” he continued, “Yeah, you’re right. But imagine God Almighty sending people to hell just because they didn’t follow His son? That’s extreme. That’s intolerance. Imagine Jesus saying that all other religions are false. Christianity claims to be the only way.”
In a “Christian America” women would lose more than their right of privacy; women would be pushed back to second class citizenship. Terry emphasized the need for male leadership in America.
“The greatest crisis we face is not child killing,” he declared, “it’s not the sodomites, it’s not land tax, it’s not the intrusion of the federal government into our lives, our families, as they crush our liberties. The greatest crisis we face tonight is a crisis of leadership. We are facing a crisis of righteous, courageous, physically oriented, male leadership. Male leadership!”
“God established patriarchy when he established the world. God established a patriarchal world, Terry said.” “If we’re going to have true reformation in America, it is because men once again, if I may use a worn out expression, have righteous testosterone flowing through their veins. They are not afraid of the contempt of their contemporaries. They are not here to get along. They are not even here to take issue. They are here to take over!”
I gotta give Alan this, he has some interesting friends. Of course, Alan is in favor of a theocracy so I guess it shouldn’t be surprising.
