“God save us from egos — especially Huckabee’s.”
lol
I think most hope he takes out willard before the roasting continues.
If someone wanted to parody the Christian Right being a bunch of rubes falling for a shyster minister, they would be laughed at. And yet, this is exactly what is happening.
Nothing like William Jenning Bryan, Jimmy carter, and Bill Clinton rolled into one holy roller to get rubes to kneel before religiosity, rather than truth.
What was it that Jesus said about those who pretended to be Priests but were corrupt?
Well that's one up on me, I hadn't figured out what he is trying to say yet.. ???
It's still being countered, thank God.
I'm sure if you continue your research, you'll find the home of paternalism is the US Department of State, something the Huckster seems to hold in high esteem.
Last I checked, I think Huckabee was running counter to the "peace comes of giving up chunks of Jerusalem" crowd in the State Dept. (and Fred Thompson, who agrees with them).
Don't start shearing them sheep before you get them in the barn. :^), That means weeding the ranks is going to take a while.
I could ask Him for a refresh of Mt. 23, though I hardly see how that applies here, but I think both of us want to see Huckabee, coming up on the Tonight Show.
Well said. We are all guaranteed equality as human beings. That doesn’t mean we are guaranteed equality of outcomes.
You have to work for it.
I disagree. Huckabee uses the language of the left when he talks about fiscal issues. It is not the responsibility of the government to redistribute wealth. The more it has done this the more costly and debt laden it has become to get and education, to buy a house, to get health care. The idea that the government can someone how be the arbitrator of fairness to such an extent that it tries to compensate people for the unfortunate time, place, or situation they were born into is a recipe for disaster.
I do believe it is the purview of the government to address when companies are cheating customers and to resist the creation of laws that benefit cooperations at cost of individual rights and customer recourse. Huckabee however like most bureaucrats seem absolutely disinterested in doing those small things that could really empower a citizen to control their lives against great financial interests that wish to treat customers as dupes and near slaves.
The bureaucrats like Huckabee don’t want to relieve the burden of the common man anymore than a doctor performing lobotomies had the best interest of their patients when they severed the prefrontal cortex of patients. They of course would’ve claimed that is exactly what they were doing. That the patient did not know what was best for them that putting a hole in their head would be beneficial to all involved.
Oh Jeez, that’s the family I want to put in the White House. Not
Huckabee is pretty much a Jack Kemp type in his economics.
Coming up on Leno now. Maybe you’d like to hear him.
Money doesn’t mean class. Marx had it wrong.
But, shshsh, Huckabee is on Leno.
Rush is actually trying NOT to be a kingmaker, for good reason. He wants his own President to have the b@lls [or ovaries?] to make it on his own to the nomination.
With that said, Rush also knows he has a bully pulpit and he knows that some people are being fooled into thinking a candidate is conservative just because he is Christian, or because he says he is. Rush had to get out the truth today about Huckabee and McCain, and thank the L-rd he did. We do want the Republican nominee to be a real conservative, or else we LOSE.
I bet he makes Billy Carter look like a teetotaler.
Rush held back his dislike for the Hukster today and struggled to avoid endorsing Thompson.
Aw c’mon, Unspun! Do you really want me to go back to your original post? And then call you on your subsequent back-pedalling? I’d have more respect for you if you just said you mis-worded what you meant to say.
If Huckabee hits a homerun on Leno, he wins Iowa.
