I am an consv., evangelical, bible believing, Jesus loving Pastor (32 years now!!!) ... and I will not now, or ever support Mike Huckabee for president. He is a disaster on foreign policy, he does not understand our immigration issue, he is a tax and spend RINO and when he hides behind a pulpit, bass guitar and all ... it make me sick. We elect a president ... not a pastor. Get a grip. Not once did Jesus, Paul or Peter ever advocate the overthrow of Ceasar ... and they had a whole lot more reason to get upset about things then we do. Wow. What a vast disconnect.
Amen.
Well said!
I am a bible believing Christian (28 years now) and I feel the same way you do about Huckabee. I do not doubt the sincerity of Gov. Huckabee’s faith but I have great misgivings about his fitness for the office of President based upon his performance as governor of the State of Arkansas which I find to be Jimmy Carteresque at best. We do not need another Jimmy Carter, nor Obama, nor Hillary right now.
But, But, he used the BIBLE to prove he’s right.
Paster, I didn’t have time to look it up. Does John 15:18-25 say “Vote for Huckabee”?
ya know, Ray, I have always had a problem with the evangelical “Thumpers” as I call them...you are indeed a breath of fresh air!!!!! Thank you.... :)
You got that right! We had a conservative, a lifelong conservative. Duncan Hunter.
The GOP showed it isn’t about conservatism anymore, if it ever was.
Thanks for speaking for me, too. Huck is a huckster and not to be trusted. I don’t have the slightest idea of how he would govern. He’s been all over the map. First he says one thing and then another. I see more consistency in Rush and Hannity than Huck.
I think Mike latches on to the policy or quip that gets a good response today. But he doesn’t really care about policy. Policy is just one way to get people to come together and rally around him.
Some politicians play to people’s resentments and perceived slights. Ethnic politicians often do that. I think Huckabee does that with evangelical Christians. Their desire to elect one of their own to the presidency reminds me of a quarterback throwing a long ball, “Hail Mary,” pass. Let’s get a big score in one play!
The atheist left have succeeded in marginalizing religion in their own circles and beyond. I liked Romney’s speech on religion which was for ALL Americans, even those in an intellectual left/liberal/atheist bubble. He communicated that religion and liberty are inseparable, over the long term. He was very presidential, and it was easy to see this message as coming from the President of the United States. I think his approach to elevating religion is better than Huckabee’s approach which merely speaks to his flock through identity politics.
Thank you sir, some people think we are electing a pastor, not a president.
I, too, am a bible believing, church going, Christian who sings a lot in churches. I KNOW what “Christian” is supposed to mean. I don’t understand where this “REV” is coming from. I never believed the Huckster. I believe he is no different from all other politicians who will say whatever he needs to say to get elected. And I disagree with him going into church pulpits to garner political points from gullible Christians. I find that repulsive and opportunistic. Yes, we are NOT electing a pastor, but a President! He doesn’t have to be of my faith. He should govern as one who looks kindly upon Christians, and doesn’t interfere with our expressions of faith to the Lord. I don’t even know what faith Ronald Reagan was. He was supportive of Christian values. That’s what’s important. And by the way, I voted for that Morman, Mitt Romney. Rush and Hannity are right about this man. I find them totally consistant on their views and support their right to their opinions. I happen to agree with Rush 95% of the time and Hannity 98% of the time. Tell me who else you put in their place to give us the truth. CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, NPR?....... They are all in bed with the Democrats and have sold their soul to Barack or Hillary. They are who you should be castigating, not Rush and Hannity.
