Huckabee Defends His Breaks from Conservative Orthodoxy

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee made it clear on Sunday that he's preparing to jump into the 2016 presidential race.

"When you become an active candidate, then you file the FEC papers. But I think it's pretty evident that I'm moving in that direction," he told Chuck Todd on NBC's Meet the Press. Huckabee said he will decide whether to formally launch a presidential campaign by the late spring.

Huckabee also defended his breaks from conservative orthodoxy on Common Core education standards, immigration and cap and trade. He said he would support a bill to give in-state benefits to undocumented immigrants again, as he did in 2006 as governor of Arkansas.

"You don't punish a child for something his parents did. I want to get control of the borders... But I don't know that we've ever been a nation that said, 'If you're in the back seat of your car when your dad is speeding, we're going to charge you in the back seat for what your dad did up in the front seat.'"

Accepts; Common Core, Amnesty, Cap & Trade?
Three Strikes, and yer out, Huck.

Sorry, but no.

You’re quite generous with three strikes. One should make him repugnant to anybody with an ounce of common sense.

The honest thing for him to do would be to run as a Democrat.

I just don’t get the special sympathy for “dreamers”. If American citizens go to live in another country, such as, say, Japan, even legally while raising their children there legally, the children don’t develop a special right to stay and become citizens there—especially if their parents subsequently return home.

Likewise, if illegals here are sent home, as they should be, for their criminal entry and stay in the US, there is no reason in the world for the US to feel obligated to permit their children to stay. If anything, they’ve already been the recipients of expensive US educations. Sending them home should help their local economies and is the right thing to do.

He is a pseudo-Christian. He is a useful idiot-—to mislead and fill with lies-—and BLUR the TRUTH.

The Truth is that Common Core is a Marxist (top-down) “operant conditioning” program to destroy Individualism and wipe out the Christian Worldview from the minds of children. It fills them with Lies and misundersatnding of history/Truth/God and embeds emotions which are antithetical to God’s Laws and the Constitution which is based on God’s Laws and Natural Law (Foundation of US Constitution and our Legal System).

Only true education is the Classical Educational system (Trivium) which gives the tools to be a critical thinker. Everything else is indoctrination.

The Christian Worldview created Individualism and the worldview that we are created to be Free—and have Free Will and no masters (but God).

Huck is promoting the German Prussian system which creates “group think” only which is only emotional-—devoid of Reason and Logic which is essential to true Christianity.

Reason and Faith can never be separated and H works ONLY on emotions.....it is truly diabolical. He is a tool of Satan—and he doesn’t even know it....or he is evil. One or the other.

Huckabee and Santorum are in there to get social conservative votes away from Cruz and other true constitutional conservatives. Have they no shame?

Huck is a big socialist who refuses to see failure. Unfortunately, many among us evangelicals are political dolts.

His wife should have told him to quit chasing that dream. He had a good thing going at Fox.

I do not believe this about Santorum. I like the guy and most of what he stands for. He resonates with people who have lost their good jobs to corporatist greed, and he is also solid on social issues. BUT, I am with Ted all the way, and I hope that Rick decides against running, if Ted is in, that is. Huck IS in it to usher in an establishment zero. Bob

If he’s going to back Common core and amnesty, then he’s no threat to the conservative candidates. His opposition will be Romney, Bush, & Christie. They can run as many liberal guys as they want so long as we coalesce behind one conservative candidate.
