It does sound as if Huckabee wants to establish a theocracy. That is sufficient reason to oppose his candidacy. We do not want to establish a theocracy, no matter which religion is in charge. The inevitable result of establishing a theocracy is the establishment of an unholy inquisition. I call it unholy, because it not really concerned with serving God, it is simply a way to extort money out of people. An inquisition is also a delight for sick, sadistic bastards, because it gives them a legally sanctioned way to indulge in torture.
Huckabee will tell evangelicals that he will creat a Department of the Rapture if he could dupe any more of them.
