No exaggeration required.

Huckabee’s take on illegal immigration was not enforcement, but handouts.

I don't have a “rabid hatred” of Hispanics either, I was married to a Hispanic and my cousins are Hispanic.

So first I hated Christians, now I hate Hispanics?

Nice to know you can make a reasonable argument without demonizing the opposing position...... NOT!

Huckabee is an idiot on many a subject, up to and including, American history, the power of pardons, and immigration. Worse is that he seems to view the Government as a tool to fulfill his Christian duty of forgiveness (pardons) and charity (handouts for illegals).

After 9-11 was it “Unchristian” of us not to, as a nation, “turn the other cheek”?

“Huckabee is an idiot on many a subject, up to and including, American history, the power of pardons, and immigration.”

I wouldn’t use the term “idiot”, but he has made some serious gaffs recently. He is not an intellectual by any means...but “intellectuals” aren’t usually good leaders. However, I do agree that Mike isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

“Worse is that he seems to view the Government as a tool to fulfill his Christian duty of forgiveness (pardons) and charity (handouts for illegals).”

I agree with that assessment. However, it is part and parcel with the welfare state which isn’t going away. I don’t like to see taxpayers “forced” to engage in charity by use of tax money.

On the 9-11 issue....I don’t consider “self defense” to be a violation of the “turn the other cheek.” The Lord Jesus’ words have been misapplied too many times....and I don’t have the time to write an essay on that topic. Suffice it to say, “turn the other cheek” was in a different context than a nation responding to an external threat.

I have repeatedly told you that I’m NOT a Huckabee fan. I just don’t believe he deserves the vitriol is gets at times here on FR.
