Mike Huckabee rallies Southern Baptists for Todd Akin (Anti-Akin = Baal Worshipers)
Politico ^ | August 24, 2012 | James Hohmann

Mike Huckabee rallied hundreds of Southern Baptists on a conference call Friday night in support of Todd Akin, offering advice about how they can help the embattled Missouri Senate candidate stay in the race — while acknowledging Akin still may have to bow out.

“This could be a Mt. Carmel moment,” said the former Arkansas governor, referring to the holy battle between Elijah and the prophets of Baal in the book of Kings. “You know, you bring your gods. We’ll bring ours. We’ll see whose God answers the prayers and brings fire from heaven. That’s kind of where I’m praying: that there will be fire from heaven, and we’ll see it clearly, and everyone else will to.”

If Mike Huckabee,Todd Akin, and Joe Biden were in a room by themselves, who would be the smartest guy in the room?

That is too tough a question.

What if Mike Huckabee, Todd Akin, Joe Biden, Forrest Gump, and Rain Man were in a room who would be the smartest guy then?

Obviously, the best answers are Forrest Gump and Rain Man, but I gotta go with the idiot savant over the run of the mill idiots and pick Rain Man.

Only Akin and Akin alone can petition the court to remove his name from the ballot. He has only one month left to do so. The court renders a decision. This decision is reviewed by SOS Robin Carnahan. A Democrat. She can accept it or contest it. Akin ain't goin'. He stated just that yesterday. He's PCA. To continue discussing rape, abortion, Akin's affect,etc. is foolish. He's the candidate. Period. No fan of Akin here. I voted for and $upported Steelman. Have for years now. But she ain't running, AKIN is!”

In case anyone wonders what the PCA reference means, here are two posts on what it means that Akin is a conservative, a graduate of Covenant Theological Seminary, and an elder in the Presbyterian Church in America:

Todd Akin is a PCA member and Covenant Seminary graduate

Being a Pastor and Speaking Out in Today’s Culture

Personally, I'm a member of an even more conservative denomination, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. The PCA is too broadly evangelical for me, but I'm the first one to say that both of our denominations have their problems.

To prove that Democrats can get some things right, go read Senator Webb's work on the Scots-Irish role on the settlement of the American frontier. One could make a good argument that Scottish blood makes Old School Presbyterians a pretty ornery bunch, and that's Webb's view. I personally think it has much more to do with a very high view of the role of the Old Testament that is shared by Calvinists whether they're Scots Presbyterians, English Puritans, Dutch Reformed, Swiss Reformed, Hungarian Reformed, Korean Presbyterians, or any of the other ethnic groups which have come to have large percentages of Calvinists either now or at some point in their history.

Too bad the Missouri Presbytery isn't one of the hard-core conservative presbyteries in the PCA. Akin might generate a lot of visitors to PCA churches when people realize the PCA is the Presbyterian equivalent of the Southern Baptist Convention -- a strongly conservative evangelical denomination that generally sticks to its guns about core beliefs. If he wins this election, I hope the PCA asks him to lead a seminar on Christian involvement in politics at the 2013 General Assembly, with all the media attention that will generate. Given the nonsense being done by the wacko liberals in the PC(USA), conservative Calvinists need some publicity, and Akin has overnight become the best-known Reformed political figure in the United States. Now we just need to be known for not having baked feet for breakfast.

Fortunately most Calvinists are far more articulate than Akin was last weekend.

Absolutely. My wife is eight months pregnant and hearing that heart beat was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. That of course only confirmed my position. Why would you think I wasn’t?

I would rather have an inarticulate pro-life conservative with an IQ of 90 as my Senator than any Harvard Educated RINO with an IQ of 180.

You’ve never taken a position in any FR discussion of which I am aware that would lead one to believe you to hold anything but a strictly utilitarian, nuts and bolts view of anything pertaining to life on this planet, human or otherwise. That’s why.

Congratulations upon your exit from the dark side.

Exit from? Are you daft? My position has never changed. You think because you don’t remember me taking the position that I haven’t been pro life? Who here isn’t? It really isn’t a point of discussion. Unless you think, like some of the idiots here, that to not support Akin the idiot and the entire “shut the whole thing down” ignorance is to somehow abandon the pro life position.

Anyone helping McCatskill get elected by not promoting Akin is literally in league with Satan.

There, fixed it for you.

We agree.

My point was that since Todd Akin is going to become the best-known Calvinist in Washington if he wins the Senate seat, we might as well make lemonade out of lemons and take advantage of this if he wins.

Fortunately, Francis Schaeffer, D. James Kennedy, and a lot of other Reformed leaders whose writings will get consulted by those interested in a Reformed view of civil government wrote a lot more eloquently than Todd Akin spoke in that TV interview.

Now let's see what we can do to hide people like the Two Kingdoms guys out in California before somebody thinks to call them and ask about their views of Todd Akin. That will go down about as well as the huge student and faculty protests at Calvin College against President George W. Bush when he gave the commencement address at the school from which I am ashamed to have graduated.
