The duty of Government is not to fulfill peoples Christian obligations to charity- and Mike Huckabee is an idiot if he thinks that is the proper role of government.
Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars and render unto the Lord that which is the Lords.
Hucabee would have it that we render unto Caesar that which is Caesars, and Caesar will render unto the Lord on our behalf.
The guy is an absolute moron who talked about the difficulty in defeating an incumbent President and then listed how rare it was and how long ago it was that it happened, completely IGNORANT of the electoral defeat of INCUMBENT George H.W. Bush.
Too stupid to know any better and too egotistical to realize he is out of his depths and should really LOOK IT UP.
“I am anti-Christian because I disagree with giving public benefits to illegal aliens?

Welfare is a reality that is NOT going to change...too ingrained in system. That being the reality, as governor of his state, he felt it would be “unchristian” to subsidize some but not other...if I read him correctly. I concurr that “charity” should be a non-compulsory thing...meaning no tax monies used. However, until that is so...as in never. I understand his view...and agree it is the Christian thing to do.
And yes, I think Christ would not be so cold hearted as you state. “Caeser” has decreed welfare state....therefore it falls that the “Christian” thing would be to extend to all that need. This does not excuse someone being in this country illegally. However, except for those here for criminal (drugs, prositution, crime..) their only real crime was to want a better life like my ancestors...and probably yours did. Of course, immigration laws should and must be enforced. However, too many are just draconian in what they desire to happen to illegal immigrants.
Goodless, I DO NOT like being in the position of defending illegal immigrants. I just don’t like to see things blown out of proportion.
