“Governor Huckabee believes that one of the great strengths of our nation lies in its diversity of thought, opinion and faith.”
All evidence to the contrary.
State your evidence.
If you have some, I am interested.
If you do not, this is just an ad hominem attack
That Huckabee is willing to insult 5 million Mormons, who are overwhelmingly Republican, in his attempt to appeal to the baser instincts of certain religious bigots, doesn’t speak well for his political instincts nor his potential actions in office. How do Mormons know that a President Huckabee will uphold their Constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion? Short answer: after his recent statements, they don’t.
That he called those who opposed his kid glove treatment of illegals “unChristian,” and said they drank a different “Jesus juice” is abhorrent. It’s one thing to have a policy disagreement and quite another to impugn the faith of those who oppose you politically. The right to freedom of religion doesn’t extend to the right to use your own particular doctrine and worldview as a rhetorical club to pound those who disagree with you. Not when you’re a governor, and certainly not when you’re the President.
This is conduct unbecoming anyone, especially a potential President, who is supposed to be an inspirational leader for all Americans of every faith, even those whose doctrines he disagrees with.
