Goodbye Adam Smith, hello Ayn Rand.
Goodbye Adams, Madison, and Lincoln, hello Thomas Hobbes.
You got it! That nails it.
Of course, I am not sure there are very many FReepers left who even understand what you are saying.
I would say Madison’s philosophy concerning religion in politics would be the antithesis of Huckabee’s. I find much of Madison’s writing to be applicable ABOUT Huckabee, but I don’t see as how Huckabee’s position is ALIGNED with those particular sentiments.
