Government may have dropped the ball in modern American society, but religion dropped it first, Gov. Mike Huckabee told Southern Baptist pastors Sunday night. "The reason we have so much government is because we have so much broken humanity," he said. "And the reason we have so much broken humanity is because sin reigns in the hearts and lives of human beings instead of the Savior." Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, addressed his contemporaries at the two-day Pastors' Conference, which continues today. The three-day Southern Baptist Convention begins Tuesday here in the heartland of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the city in which the Mormons have their world headquarters. Huckabee told the pastors gathered in the Salt Palace Convention Center that while the March 1, 1997, tornadoes which struck Arkansas were tragic, at least the devastation could be clearly seen from a helicopter. In contrast, he said, the catalysts for the nation's recent school shootings -- including the one March 24 near Jonesboro that left four students and a teacher dead and 10 others wounded -- were harder to see but were driven by "the winds of spiritual change in a nation that has forgotten its God."

I say this as a conservative, God-fearing, Christian.
Huckabee is spewing BS like Falwell and Robertson did right after 9/11.
With opinions like this, Huckabee is doomed.
Bill Clinton + Jimmy Carter + Pat Robertson = Mike Huckabee.
In fact, my new tagline:
What, exactly, did you find to be wrong with his statements?
What he is saying is largely the truth about the spiritual condition of this country and should be coming from the pulpit.
Huckabee is only a tool being used by Rudy to stop Mitt.
I call both frauds.
“Gomer” Huckabee commander in chief...that is scary!

Driven by the winds of spiritual change?
That is such bunk and BS I don’t even know where to start.
How about evil won that one? God didn’t have anything to do with the death of those children. It wasn’t God’s will, just like 9/11 wasn’t God’s will either.
There is good and evil. Sometimes evil wins.
Bill Clinton + Jimmuh Carter + Pat Robertson + Jon Lovitz = Mike Huckabee
the comparison is invalid and shows ignorance
Don’t worry, it’s from 1998, the MSM will never be able to find it on the internets.
I’m with you. I keep hearing Howard Deans screech. Huckabee may find the thought of actually winning the nomination to be terrifying-—as do I—— and is looking for a way out.
Allow me to give you even more reason not to vote for Huck.
Below a link to my Blog post regarding Huckabee’s involvement in the DuMond release.
It ain’t purty.

President Huckabee in one corner and Islamo nutjobs in the other... now that’s a world war we can be proud of!
