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.
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.
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.
