Add to FavoritesOnce again, I can tell, a liberal has framed the argument. How can I tell that a liberal has framed the argument, the question is, "Will the recent focus on Mike Huckabee's radical 1992 statements help or hurt his bid for the presidency? My intellectual responses is, who in the hell decided that it is a radical statement? The problem conservatives have faced in the past, face in the present,and in the future, is we allow the liberal media to frame the questions. He who frames the question will dominate the discussion!
I would ask the debate question this way," Will the recent focus on Mike Huckabee's 1992 questions help or hurt his bid for the presidency? Indicating to the general public that it is is a radical question gives moral support to the question.
Of course, liberals hate to use the word liberal, they call themselves progressives, which is supposed to indicate forward movement. In reality it is dragging America back to the 1800s.
Who decided that women who stay at home is a bad idea. Or women should not obey their husbands? Isn't this a personal decision based on individuals personal beliefs? Whose business is it that all woman should think like liberals? Why is it liberals decide what Christians should think, believe in, act upon, vote for, or how they live their lives. Or that people who get aids through sexual activity and threaten innocent people are heros. How many of these people have killed innocent people by their wanton sexual activities. Sex is your right as long as you don't kill me liberal!
In the past forty years it is liberals who try force to anti- Christian beliefs on everybody. We can hurt Christians all we want, but we will all be damned it a secularist is hurt by seeing a holy cross! This is a free country and we will believe in God if we wish...we will celebrate our Lord when, where, and how we want! You on the other hand can do damn well what you please, except take away our religeous freedom!
It is our Christmas not yours...it is the birth of Christ. If you don't believe that too bad...celebrate your snowman. We don't care what the hell you do...you shouldn't feel so threatened by our beliefs. We will fight fight and die for Christ! Yes Christians will fight for their country and their freedom. God gave our rights to us not you and your liberal jackasses, no pun intended!

Anyone who is elected president of the United States must uphold the basic principles of this country. To say that is prudent to change our founding principles is very dangerous. What must be asked is: Isn't this the very same fundamentalism that we are fighting in the middle east? Or is religious zealotry only wrong if it is another religion?
Let's say that Mr. Huckabee makes it into office, strictly for the sake of argument and to further this argument lets say that what he wants come to pass. This means that we now have a federalized Christian religion which means that the next step would be to revoke the freedom of religion. So does this mean the large number of citizens in the U.S. who don't claim to be Christian would be put to death if they don't convert? I am sure Mr. Huckabee would look up to those that instituted the inquisition. They believed that if a person did not agree with their interpretation of the bible they should be put to death. Also let's not bother with that separation of Church and State anymore. It's so much easier if we all just believe the same thing and it just gets in the way of our new official religion.
Our European counterparts they had another idea that went along with their federalized religion: Divine Rule. Divine Rule meant that God put that leader into place and to question that leader would be to question God himself. Another notion that I am sure will come into play. If we question President Huckabee we would be questioning God. If a person questions God then they must be a heathen and heathens deserve death. Hmmso not only have we now lost our freedom of religion, Separation of church and state we now loose our freedom of speech.
Wow, we don't look much like the United States anymore. This is what can happen when religious zealotry comes into power. This is not just some foreign religious phenomena that we can fear from the comfort of our couch. Religious fundamentalism in any form from any religion is wrong and it is here and present within the United States.
Give me a society where a neighborhood is made up of not only mixed races but mixed religions. Where I can choose to go to whatever religious service whenever, where ever I want. We are a nation made up of various people with various beliefs. To have the kind of society that Mr. Huckabee envisions would be an abomination. Not necessarily to God but to our founding fathers and as Jesus himself said "Pay to Cesar what is Cesar's"
I say to Mike Huckabee give me a society that openly embraces differences of opinion and belief. In the immortal words of Patrick Henry "Give me Liberty or Give me Death!"
