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."

He is a disgusting liar and deceiver!
LLS
Precisely! What we have here is a chicken/egg thing.
He is not a disgusting liar or deceiver. He’s voicing his opinion, which is what we do in the U.S.
I am so sick of these ‘ Holier than Thou’ politicians.
I am going to the voting booth to elect a president, not a minister. Sheesh.
You are right, but don't forget that Rosy said "Christian fundamentalist are as dangerous as Islamic extremist". Seems MANY here at FR agree with her.
Thank you so much.
This blows my mind.
We should have this guy as president?
Huckananny! Get outta town, LOL.
He’s got the cart before the horse.
Hell no.
So’s Fred Thompson and John McCain, as well as Hunter, Tancredo, Paul, and presumably Romney.
All are better (w/the exception of Ron Paul) on other issues than Huckabee.
You must have worked for the clintons at one time.

I’m right there with you. I think he’s all the rage by the media because he’ll be easier to skewer if he becomes he nominee.
Boy, a 1998 article now: Baptist minister Huckabee saying Baptist things to a Baptist crowd. Drudge sure is willing to help the left knock Huckabee down to size.
I agree - Drudge seems to want to give the left bullets to fire. Is Drudge endorsing any one?
Bravo! Well said.
Drudge has a good friend who works for Romney.
But lets face facts, Huckabee is a sure loser.
In something of a coup, Mike Huckabee picked up the support of the young Cuban-American Speaker of the Florida state house, Marco Rubio, this morning.
Although the candidates kept it polite on stage, Fred Thompson's campaign circulated press clippings from 2002 in which Huckabee called for an end to the trade embargo with Cuba.

Caught off guard, Huckabee's campaign said two hours after the debate that he had since changed his position on the embargo after consulting with Cuban-American leaders. ''He's committed to vetoing any legislation that lifts sanctions on Cuba,'' said Huckabee spokeswoman Alice Stewart.

LOL.
I posted that. :)
Has Huckabee explained the theological significance of the Jan. 1999 tornado which damaged Chelsea Clinton’s treehouse at the governor’s mansion in Little Rock?
