Is Huckabee a Jimmy Carter Christian?
Recently Huckabee reportedly was unaware that the Supreme Court struck down an anti-sodomy law as being unconstitutional. How can we depend upon him to carry the social conservative banner into the next election cycle if he fails to understand one of the most basic and recent court decisions. How can we trust him to pick judges who are opposed to anal intercourse, if for no other reason than it is the most fertile infectious form of HIV transmission.
If you can vote for a man who is opposed to school choice and one who is endorsed by the National Education Association of New Hampshire, then Huckabee is your man. He does however give illegal aliens the choice to compete with US children for scholarship money. He did so because he did not want "innocent" children to be punished for the criminal activity of their parents. Perhaps Huckabee will allocate some tax revenue to pay for a fine education at one of our most prestigious boarding schools for the children of drug addicts who are imprisoned (occasionally). If you're a Huckabee supporter then you also agree that illegal immigration makes up for slavery. I don't understand the connection. Maybe someone can explain it to me.Here's a novel idea that apparently has no chance of working yet is the first thing on the Huckabee website: [commit] the resources of the federal government to the enforcement of our immigration laws.
Ok so Huckabee is a man of "faith" like Carter but according to his website he said "My faith doesn't influence my decisions" Neither does Giuliani's, so what is the difference? Giuliani will appoint judges who will not misconstrue the Constitution. Which is more then I can say for the Huckster. I support and have always supported passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the right (of the unborn to live); well isn't that just peachy Huckster?. Let's bet on the judges instead and forget about the electoral process which is about as infertile as I wish unwed mother were. He wants to overturn Roe v. Wade, but doesn't understand the Texas sodomy case Lawrence and Garner v. Texas. If it were not for the fact that anal intercourse is a very good delivery system for HIV infection, given the impracticality of policing this disgusting act, anal intercourse should not be a legislative matter, unless of course children in grammar school are instructed on how to perform this act safely. Somehow given the teacher's endorsement, I don't see the Huckster proposing any legislation that would limit teaching any form of perversion. Perhaps churchgoers can somehow figure out how to unconfuse the minds of their children while Huckabee does nothing about removing condoms from the hand-out basket at South Street Elementary School.
Socialism 101: According to the Huckster, Every child deserves a quality education, first-rate health care, decent housing in a safe neighborhood, and clean air and drinking water. Every child deserves the opportunity to discover and use his God-given gifts and talents. Apparently only public schools are capable of providing a quality education, since religious schools are not likely to demonstrate the various anal intercourse techniques. I got my first demonstration watching two dogs unable to separate. I noted that they were not same-sex unions. I also have never seen two same-sex animal unions which leads me to conclude that only in humans is there a normal variant from heterosexuals. In case you have not already discovered, I'm not opposed to homogeneous grouping, just acts which carry a high likelihood of killing a large segment of humanity. There are some acts which are so unnatural that even the Huckster should be able to comprehend them.
Is Huckabee a Jimmy Carter Christian? I can only say that I believe Duncan Hunter comes closer to being My Kind of Christian. In my view Jimmy Carter might be a Christian and I hope and pray he is, however he was a very weak Christian and I say this based on his inability to go after the Americans that were being held captive By Iran. I also believe Huckabee and Carter are the same type Christians.
Ronald Reagan was a Christian in my view. Hunter is a very serious Christian, the kind the devil told you to stay away from type Christian.
I won’t be voting for Huckabee, but my decision is based on other issues raised before this article.
That's about the dumbest thing that I've seen on FR or even Democrat Underground.
You need therapy.
Yes, we spot a man who’s got a lot of bad policies and seems to be hiding behind his religiousness.
We FReepers can do better than mischaracterize and demonize and alienate, though. We can speak the truth in a winsome manner, so as to win over those who are prone to vote for Huckabee, and change their votes to either Thompson or Hunter.
But yes, there is some hatred for Huckabee on this forum. And it makes some people say some pretty silly things. The *truth* about Huckabee is frightening enough.
I am not voting for Huckabee in the primaries. He’s soft on ILLEGAL immigration, bad on taxes, seems fairly inept with foreign policy, and so on.
I don’t want to see FR descend into such vitriolic rhetoric as I’ve seen develop over the past year or so. It’s as though we’ve taken on Michael Moore’s nasty tactics. I want us to argue winsomely with facts, not with mischaracterization and innuendo. We’re more effective that way.
I strongly advocate voting for either Thompson or Hunter in the primaries.
Am I still being ambiguous?
Huckabee is the only candidate besides Hunter willing to do something about the Chicoms’ trade surplus. Further, Huckabee’s victory would give social conservatism a mandate it’s never had; and liberal decadence is easily one of the deciding factors of whether the West continues to outshine the rest of the world or whether we go the way of the Roman Empire.
I was thinking the same thing 6 months ago. Now, I think the names should be reversed.
I agree there is *some* hatred, or the appearance of hatred for Huckabee on FR. I believe most of it is disruptors trying to make FReepers look like crazies so as to discredit the site. That behavior happens more than most would believe.
Agreed.
” Or in Carter’s case: If it swims like a bunny and sounds like a bunny, then it’s probably a swimming bunny. “
If it swims like a bunny, drinks like a skid row fish, and lies like a stammering coward, it’s got to be Teddie.
I don’t hate Huckabee.
I do believe he’s about the worst choice among the Republicans, save for Ron Paul, but it’s not personal, it’s “business.” He’s wrong on the issues.
Agreed.
I think he’d be a fine Pastor, neighbor, friend, or family member.
He might be pro-life and pro-gun - two positives, but once you consider that he sports the economic philosophy of John Edwards and the foreigh policy of Barack Obama, we see that there are far better choices out there.
As abhorrent and disgusting as the practice might be, I do not want any president picking a judge who would impose his moral values on us. I want a president who will pick judges who will properly interpret the constitution, nothing more.
I don’t think I’d want Huckabee as my pastor. Too many questions about his integrity, frankly.
I wouldn’t say Huck’s a Jimmah Christian. But he’d likely be a Jimmah president and that’s . . . not good.
I agree it’s dimwitted, but it is indeed an oft-retorted “logic” spewed around here-—to wit, that if “my” candidate is not nominated, then said person will take their marbles and go home or vote for Sure Loser as a third party candidate.
Yes.
I would like to clone your brain and stick it in the heads of 6 million brain dead people of my state Massachusetts.
I always vote for whoever is running against Teddy, but what good does that do? There are only about 30% of us in Massachusetts who have any brains.
