The problem with all governments is that power is extremely attractive to people with pathological personalities.

That’s why the best safeguard against tyranny is keeping a government’s power and size to a minimum.

Unfortunately, it is also the reason why governments invariably seek to increase their power and size.

He and Huckleberry would make a great ticket together,
There is a longing for the return to the Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Hee-Haw in this country.

How times change. As they should. Chucklebee was an FR favorite back in ‘04. See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1292246/posts for instance. 750 posts.

Before he turned out to be nothing but an actual, real, live RINO and a joke. Tax. Tax. Spend. Spend. God, Grits and whatever cornpone crapola gets you by.

If his hideous attempt at a book-promo/campaign this time around crashed and burned yesterday, it wouldn’t be soon enough.

I’ve not heard about the son who tortured a dog. I know you wrote that it was cleaned up, but do you have any print information? This just sickens me. Psychopaths start with helpless animals, but guess what they move on to?

It’s tragic alright to claim a faith in God and then to shy away from it at the first sign of trouble.

That is what happens when one gets so self absorbed one forgets the action of God in authoring one’s own life story.

Unless they meet something that turns them around powerfully, they are on a jet trip to hades.

We don’t know if this wicked son stayed wicked however.

Huckabee is owned lock, stock and barrel by the Establishment. His job is to follow their orders and split the Christian conservative vote away from the real conservative threat, thus lowering the bar of “success” for Jeb or whomever the CoC and the Elites want on top of the ticket. Huck knows he will never win. But, that isn’t his goal. His goal is the payoff that awaits him for splintering the vote.

.....”there is a longing for the return to the Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Hee-Haw in this country.”....

that’s adults...but when you add in the cartoon element of the technology today for the youth and young adults that everything is play and game time....you have a perfect foundation for mis-leading the masses. And they are ripe to be led now.
