LIBERALS SING 'HUCKELUJAH' by Ann Coulter December 26, 2007
All I want for Christmas is for Christians to listen to what Mike Huckabee says, rather than what the media say about him. The mainstream media keep flogging Huckabee for being a Christian, apparently unaware that this "God" fellow is testing through the roof in focus groups.
Huckabee is a "compassionate conservative" only in the sense that calling him a conservative is being compassionate.
He responded to my column last week -- pointing out that he is on record supporting the Supreme Court's sodomy-is-a-constitutional-right decision -- by saying that he was relying on the word of a caller to his radio show and didn't know the details of the case. Ironically, that's how most people feel about sodomy: They support it until they hear the details.
First, I'd pay a lot of money to hear how a court opinion finding that sodomy is a constitutional right could be made to sound reasonable. But the caller had the right response when Huckabee asked him, "What's your favorite radio station?" So he seemed like a reliable source.
Second, Huckabee's statement that he agreed with the court's sodomy ruling was made one week after the decision. According to Nexis, in that one week, the sodomy decision had been the cover story on every newspaper in the country, including The New York Times. It was the talk of all the Sunday news programs. It had been denounced by every conservative and Christian group in America -- as well as other random groups of sane individuals having no conservative inclinations whatsoever.
The highest court in the land had found sodomy was a constitutional right! That sort of thing tends to make news. (I was going to say the sodomy ruling got publicity up the wazoo, but this is, after all, Christmas week.)
So this little stretch-marked cornpone is either lying, has a closed head injury, is a complete ignoramus -- or all of the above.
Huckabee opposes school choice, earning him the coveted endorsement of the National Education Association of New Hampshire, which is like the sheriff being endorsed by the local whorehouse.
He is, however, in favor of school choice for kids in Mexico: They have the choice of going to school there or here. Huckabee promoted giving in-state tuition in Arkansas to illegal immigrants from Mexico -- but not to U.S. citizens from Ohio. "I don't believe you punish the children," he said, "for the crime and sins of the parents."
Since when is not offering someone lavish taxpayer-funded benefits a form of punishment? That's almost as crazy as a governor pardoning a known sex offender so he can go out and rape and kill.
Huckabee claims he's against punishing children for the crimes of their fathers in the case of illegal immigrants. But in the case of slavery, he believes the children of the children's children should be routinely punished for the crimes of their fathers.
Huckabee has said illegal immigration gives Americans a chance to make up for slavery. (I thought letting O.J. walk for murdering two people was payback for slavery.)

Ann's ridicule of Huckabee's former obesity...
So this little stretch-marked cornpone...
... former fatty...
...the last former fatboy from Arkansas...
...has me thinking that Ann has seen one of the many blogs discussing gastric bypass. The term "former fatty" is used in an article quote from the Rolling Stone. "Stretched marked" possibly derives from the flabby Mike marathon photo. If Ann thought he lost his weight through marathon derring do she wouldn't ridicule him so, but if through gastric bypass then she'll give it to him unmercifully.
So, gold and pearls are out, as is fancy hair (broided or plaited). Doesn't say anything about miniskirts, though. I thought they'd be listed before "gold and pearls."

Tax-credited programs for Christian schooling
Q: I’m 17, and I’m the product of school choice. In the public schools I repeated the 7th grade three times, because of my deficiency in math & English. My mother then sent me to New Generation, a Christian school. After one year, my math improved 5 grade levels, and my English improved 3. Will you support school choice for other students like me with similar tax-credit programs?
HUCKABEE: Yes.
TANCREDO: Yes.
COX: Yes.
BROWNBACK: Yes.
PAUL: Yes.
HUNTER: Yes.
KEYES: Yes.

Many conservatives don’t support vouchers for parents, preferring tax credits. I.e., they believe vouchers are more “statist.”
So, it is your position that Governor Huckabee was asked if he supports vouchers for education choice by the NEA and he said "absolutely no way." And they were like, "Yay. We like you." But really, he's for choice, just against vouchers, but for tax credits.
Do you find that troubling? I'm guessing no.
1. I doubt he said, "No way."
2. Some of the most conservative of conservative activists around are against vouchers in favor of tax credits, so not "troubling." Me, I'm more of a pragmatist on it.
Wow, there sure is a rush to throw mud on Huckabee, but so many are so forgiving of Thompson's Stephen A. Douglas type hedging on our fundamental Right to Life and on the very definition of our most basic social contract of marriage.
Ann has said she supports Romney....she likes Hunter but realizes he isn’t moving.
I will not support Huckabee if he wins the nomination.
SAME HERE.
My G*d, the man didn't actually say that, did he...?
That one statement is all I need to know about him.
I don't find a support of tax credits over vouchers. But to pretend that Huckabee was completely honest with the NEA is laughable. The fact that you're willing to spin it away makes your criticism of another candidate's supposed waffling almost comical.
Burka boy, your taking the fun out of fundamentalist Christianity.
I'm sure glad you've got all the answers - no doubt based on biblical cherry picking. However, you're beginning to remind me of the sexually insecure and hung up Islamists. Good luck with your therapy.
I don't care whether or not Huckabee let the NEA of all groups in on everything in his heart and mind.

You seem a bit obsessed with Ann's appearance.
Did a leggy blond once steal a boyfriend from you or something?

In her most recent book ("If Democrats had any brains, they'ld be Republicans"), she has an entire chapter filled with quotes of people saying "this time Ann has gone TOO far" or words to that effect. Literally pages of that.
May St. Ann's name be shouted, praised and glorified now and for a thousand generations.

Thanks for the mention of Mike Huckabees weight loss scam .LOL!
I should have known that you were a FReeper!
Sorry for not pinging you to my post from your blog.Your original 5,000-word analysis is a MASTERPIECE!
I particularly liked THIS graph: [You caught the Huckster "red" handed!]
So this little stretch-marked cornpone is either lying, has a closed head injury, is a complete ignoramus -- or all of the above.
Zot!
