Huckabee said, referring to the need for a constitutional human life amendment and an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
If you’re going to bash him, and there is good cause, at least put the bash in an honest context. Many don’t have issues with that particular amendment.

And speaking as an evangelical who attends a Baptist church, I'll be damned if I'm going to let any Baptist preacher take that freedom away from me or my fellow Americans.
Some may suggest that "Damned" is exactly what you may be...

Well considering the writers of the Constitution where Christian and the reason we have freedom of religion is because of Chrsitian Principals, I have to support this statement from the Huckster...although hell not get my vote. Remember, we have the freedom of religion not from religion. We are a Christian Nation, that is fact and is undisputed.Incorrect. We have a strong Judeo/Christian tradition. We do not have an established religion. The 1st Amendment protects us from having an established religion.
The more I hear and read from Huckabee, the more he scares me.

Gee, you left off that last line. Yeah, Christian Taliban right. I went down Arkansas last week, and the whole city of Little Rock was walking around say “Mike is my leader, Mike is my leader. Please wear your tin foil at all time in Arkansas, this a Christian Taliban state, and its coming to you America.”
OK, how many of you people are pot heads? No other explanation for this level of schizoid paranoia.
WARREN, Mich. — Huckabee’s closing argument to voters here this evening featured a few new stories and two prolonged sections on illegal immigration and Christian values.
These two topics usually feature prominently in Huckabee’s stump speech, but last night he got specific, promising to build a border fence within 18 months if elected and elaborating on his belief that the constitution needs to be amended.
“[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it’s a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that’s what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards,” Huckabee said, referring to the need for a constitutional human life amendment and an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
Huckabee often refers to the need to amend the constitution on these grounds, but he has never so specifically called for the Constitution to be brought within “God’s standards,” which are themselves debated amongst religious scholars. As a closing statement he asked the room of nearly 500 supporters to “pray and then work hard, and in that order,” to help him secure a victory in Tuesday’s GOP primary.
Tomorrow Huckabee will visit two polling places in the morning before taking off for South Carolina where he will watch Michigan’s returns come in.

Any society that has degenerated to the point where these abominations are accepted, cannot be saved by any amendment to any constitution.

And what amendments will he want next? Diet and smoking?
It’s not so much that he’s for the marriage or human life amendments- many fine people are in favor of them. It’s Huckabee’s tone, his self-satisfied smugness that truly bother me.

Of course the heads will be Washington, Lincoln and Franklin as these new “Christian Democrats in training” cut more and more money from our wallets...

No, I did not "leave off the last line." If MSNBC clipped his quote and you have a fuller version, please let us all know.
As an evangelical Christian, I refuse to vote for a leader that seeks to sublimate the U.S. Constitution to his or her particular religious views. Our forbears fled Europe for Freedom of Religion and I intend to fight tooth and nail for that same right.
Furthermore, I don't appreciate a preacher using the name of my Savior to try to amass political power.

Incorrect. We have a strong Judeo/Christian tradition. We do not have an established religion. The 1st Amendment protects us from having an established religion.
AmericanGunner is correct. We have a Government of, by and for the people. It stands to reason, that the Government should reflect that, since we are a predominantly Christian people.
John Adams, on Oct. 11, 1798, said..."Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
The First Amendment, as the rest of the BoR, simply prohibits the Government from interfering or encrouching upon religion.

Well, when I think about it, that makes sense. Constitutional amendments will not save us from depravity.

I don’t care what he was referring to, it’s constitutional “blasphemy” when phrased in such a manner.
Again the Hickster keeps the focus on religion and it’s role rather than his abyssmal record as the GUBERnator.

Because he’s a federalist and believes it to be a states rights issue. But of course you know that already...
