Republican U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes told a crowd of Lisle college students Monday he favors two years of mandatory military service following high school for everyone without exception.

Keyes said the service also could be diplomatic, but such a requirement would "make it clear that citizenship is not just a lazy person's business." [ed. huh? #1]

He said exempting slave descendants from income taxes for several generations would make them more appealing to employers from a tax perspective. [ed. huh? #2]

The 54-year-old former U.N. ambassador and talk-show personality also said the death penalty must remain in force. Keyes referenced the biblical story in which arrogance about a killing by a descendant of Cain, whom God spared the death penalty, was a contributing factor to the great flood of Noah. Following the flood, God then added a command that killing another would result in death, he said. [ed. huh? #3]
