Here is my response to Chuck Norris cnorris@wnd.com

Sorry Chuck...

I used to respect you. I looked at you as an example of integrity and of perseverance and the embodiment of the American dream.
I just can not respect your decision to run interference for Governor Huckabee. I would think the issue about the 1023 pardons would be enough to for you, a man I thought had a respect for the law, to step back and do more than defend your man. There is no question Governor Huckabee let lose violent repeat offenders. This is a fact. I’ve researched it and Governor Huckabee does not deny it. It my opinion that it is never acceptable to release violent criminals and I believe that not to be just a conservative position but a human position. I wouldn’t accept his explanation from a liberal and I can not accept his misleading explanation about the Dumond. He was not required to recommend a pardon and he admitted to doing so. That in my opinion provides a severe lack of judgment. You may be comfortable parsing words on his behalf but I would not do that for any candidate no matter how nice.

Governor Huckabee also unquestionably raised taxes by $500 million and campaigned for Democrats against conservative Republicans in Arkansas. These are unquestionable facts. I don’t care what “good” was done with the money. He raised taxes and grew spending and is unappologetic about it. He also talks in the language of class warfare. I just can not understand how you can support him. I’ve read the litany of what you have listed but him being “a nice well meaning guy” is just not enough. Well meaning guys have ruined this country. They peddle enmity and call it love. I don’t want to elect a daddy to create new programs and raise the sales tax and make nice with liberals.

I don’t need that. I need to be left alone, I have 4 children and have unjust amounts of money taken out of my paycheck. We homeschool and we bite the bullet for the sake of our kids and the idea that governor Huckabee has the endorsement of the NEA anywhere is disgusting to me. Education is one of the areas where far too much money is wasted for the lie of better delivery.
I see schools built to look like Shopping malls with vaulted ceilings like airports and governor Huckabee seems to see no end to the Education bureacracy.

I also don’t take kindly to his language about our “arrogant foreign policy”. I would like to know from where he arrived at this conclusion? Michael Moore? Moveon.org? Just because the media says something doesn’t make it true. They and the Democrats would’ve had us fail in Iraq and left millions of people to genocide. I don’t need a parrot for the media or the malcontents. You may be impressed but I am not. I don’t like politicians who parrot the lies of the media or global warming on the economy. The perception they create is not the reality. I fight it enough without having a nominee who affirms and appeals to the lies of leftist media.

I am a Baptist but I am not voting for a preacher who trades faith in God for faith in government or mixes the two. I listen to the lies and class warfare and appeal to racial division enough from Democrats and I don’t care to vote for a Republican who speaks their corrupt tongue. I do not believe Governor Huckabee is a horrible man but I do not believe he has the judgment or the integrity to be President of the United States. I ask only that you will pray about this.

You know the pardons were wrong. If you don’t then I’m sorry I ever admired you.
