Huckabee, Taliban, pretty much the same message?
"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that’s what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family. "
Lets do a little edit, shall we? I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of Allah. And that’s what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in Allah’s standards rather than trying to change Allah’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family. So Huckabee is a smiling white male in a suit, and that makes his desire to change the United States into a theocracy acceptable? WTF? The quote is from a campaign stop he made in Warren, Michigan yesterday. |
Yeah, I'm sure he would establish a theocracy. :rolleyes:
Troll on. |

but why not hold him accountable for things he says in his speeches? |

that's just crazy talk. We all know that the republican candidates are good people who would never do bad things. He was probably misquoted by the liberal media.
We all know it is the democrats are the ones who need every word scrutinized and held accountable for them. |
Even his handlers fear that after S. Carolina (at which the comments were addressed; large Christain vote down there) these comments could bite him in the nether region.

Edited - religious comparisons removed. -Z-man.
It's all religious persecution. In the Soviet Union, people would walk down the street and you would be forced to view 5 or 10 propaganda pictures. You learned to ignore it. We, fortunately, live in a secular country, where we are not forced to view a Baptist prayer at every stop sign. But if the vermin behind the religious right have anything to do with that, this situation will END and your local grocery store will have a big advertisement on the front showing Jesus granting your food- as long as you are Baptist. If you are Catholic, well, then you are entitled to shop at the special "Catholic Only" stores that your new religious federal government has set up for YOU. Or maybe it is the other way around: The Catholics force the Baptists to bow down to THEIR views. That is, it is now ILLEGAL for a Baptist to eat red meat on a Friday. Hey! If we can prevent gays from marrying, we can prevent different religions from marrying. And we can prevent you from shopping at the wrong store too. That's how we did it back in the 1950's, and we can legalize that again- THINK! N! |
I'm not trolling.
Mike Huckabee suggested that the United States constitution be changed to conform to the views of the Christian faith. This is a radical, anti-American view. |
He didn't really say that did he? Wow, that's scary, really scary. Of course, W believes literally in Creationism, the whole Adam and Eve and Garden of Eden thing, and he's got his finger on the nuclear football.

Umm..Doesn't a Handbook imply one has to be able to read and comprehend things at some intellectual level?
|
Huck's God wants you forgiven.
The Taliban want's you dead. At this time in history, nobody is forcing a knife to your throat for Christ's sake. yes, Iknow that this was not the truth in the past. I would be voting for BEN STEIN if he would run.SmileWavy |

I was slowly starting to warm up to Huckabee considering Ron Paul is definitely not getting into office. If this turns out to be true it truly is disturbing. And if hillary gets the primary vote along with Huckabee, assuming that statement is true......................... i don't even know what to say anymore.

If this is the best that our two parties can provide then we really should go to the system we have for providing a jury. Pick 10 or 12 tax paying citizens for all the top elective offices and let them make the damn decisions. How could it possibly turn out any worse than it has in the recent past? |
Huckabee seems to have shoved his foot firmly down his throat, which sucks, because he doesn't seem like that bad of a guy. Seems like everyone makes those kinds of statements from time to time, the kind that they really wish they could just go back and do over.
And what's with bringing gay marriage into a comparison with Al Quaida? I seem to have missed the news report about Baptist suicide bombers in San Francisco, and the legislation requiring gay men to wear bourkhas, and the gays being stoned for being homosexual. Next, someone's going to compare Hillary to Hitler (easy, because their names sound similar) and this thread will have descended entirely to the depths of idiocy. I can't imagine that the US would ever turn into a theocracy. Stop for a moment and think about it: if we have a candidate who has strong religious beliefs, he gets shouted down because he might turn the country into a theocracy. Imagine if he was somehow elected ... would the outcry die down? Don't be ridiculous. Dan |

You can thank George when Hillary starts using those powers. |
Someone shouldn't let him in the National Archives with a pen then--just like Sandy Berger shoudn't be allowed in with socks. :rolleyes:
And you've proven my point that you do not, in fact, understand how the Constitution is modified. |

Prediction: The Huckster will be involved in some gay sex scandal similar to the Ted Haggards of this world.
For he who preaches loudest...................... |
I have seen very little "fire and brimstone" out of this guy. But I guess being a Baptist, something major has GOT to be wrong with him, huh??

Shout loud? Huckabee? He is running as a huckleberry with a bass guitar.

Yes, abortion and defining marriage and gay rights are issues and should be discussed and addressed. But when they are elevated far above things like the economy, our budget deficits, our border fiasco, our imbalance of trade, our national debt, Iraq, the deterioration of our manufacturing base, our military troops in about 70 or 80 foreign nations, and our illegal immigration mess it should tell us that the politicians are either incredibly stupid or clinically mendacious. |
Of course he can't come into office and just do a constitutional change! If he's that deeply religious, that crosses the line (to me) into fanatisism. I like my presidents kind of middle of the road. Not ultra anything, except to be always mindful of what's "best" for the country.

Huckabee is also the one proposing a National Sales Tax rather than Income Tax, correct?
|
A wide stance...nothing more :)
|
Huckabee was talking about marriage. From his website:
I support and have always supported passage of a federal constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman. This position is not new, radical or theocratic and is not a reasonable basis for a Huckabee-Taliban comparison. |
So Harddrive was cherry-picking words out of context to make comparison (and a bit of a stretch at that)?

Thank You! I was hoping the quote was either false or taken out of context. I like Huckabee. He's the one candidate I'll feel good about voting for (in the last 8 years) - should that option become available. |

According to that article McVeigh was an agnostic. I disagree in principle with strengthening a religion's influence on the government, but maybe if it would curtail agnostic violence against the country?

So what is your point? |

P.S. If you tell me that you are a Fundamentalist Southern Baptist I will then understand.:) |

BTW, gay is not a religion, so your comment about religious persecusion is by definition rubbish. but I don't have to tell you that ;) |
