In case you don't know what the "Huck" is going on, I submit the following for your perusal:
"I didn’t get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn’t have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives. […] I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ."
----------------------------------------------------------
In all the sermons Huckabee delivered before jumping into politics, he no doubt revealed beliefs and ideas that would be of interest to voters today. But his campaign, looking to attract evangelical Christian voters without alienating others, is not interested in seeing that material become part of the current political discourse. Huckabee the candidate is shunning Huckabee the pastor.
----------------------------------------------------------
Huckabee affixed his signature to the following statements:
"You are right because you recognized that the family was God's idea, not man's, and that marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman for a lifetime.
"You are right because you called husbands to sacrificially love and lead their wives.
"You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership."
----------------------------------------------------------
Responding to an Associated Press questionnaire, Huckabee said steps should be taken to "isolate and quarantine the carriers of this plague (AIDS)" during his failed run for a U.S. Senate seat from Arkansas 15 years ago.------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, in summary, Mike Huckabee believes that he is an agent for Christ (Bush-Part Deux?). But he doesn't want you to read any of his former sermons or far right wing positions that he's stated in the past. Women are property who should faithfully serve their husbands. And AIDS patients should be locked away and allowed to expire. Any questions?Labels: Mike Huckabee, right-wing nutjobs
