The quote below by Huckabee is so insane, I still can't quite believe it. If he really means what he says, he wants the turn the US into a Christian Taliban state, where we would be ruled by what Mike Huckabee believes is "God's standards." And how would Huckabee know what God wants?
Here is the unbelievable quote from Huckabee:
Please tell me Republicans aren't seriously considering nominating this guy. But this is only one of four crazy stories coming out of the Huckabee camp today. First, you can read about how he wants to change the constitution here. Then, read how he signed a document saying women should "submit" to their husbands. Then, read about how one of his senior advisers thinks we should post a cop in front of every mosque (imagine if he said that about synagogues) and that genocide against Sunnis in Iraq would be acceptable.
Then read about how he wants to stop all immigration from any country that sponsors or harbors terrorists. That would mean we would end immigration from "allies" like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Pakistan. It might even mean we end immigration from Germany where some of the 9/11 bombers lived and that recently released a defendant involved in the 9/11 plot (because we wouldn't cooperate and give them evidence we collected from our detainees, probably because we tortured them). In fact, you know the country where all of the 9/11 bombers lived right before they committed their heinous act of terror? The United States.
The man has to think before he talks. His own camp had to back away from his last statement about ending immigration from all these countries. But the bigger problem seems to be that he has thought some of these things through and these crazy statements are his true opinions. Now, that's really scary.

136. As a christian i believe in separation of church and state and huckelberry just doesn't want that. Why would i want a minister as my president? IF I want religous guidance I will go and seek it out at my church. He is one sided individual who cannot see anything past his own nose. And whats with chuck norris, I did not think he was a religous whacko right wing nut.
Keep your personal religion to yourself is what both of them need to be told.

138. Why? Because the bible says it is wrong.The bible condemms fornication.
----------------
you didn't answer my question. i asked why god would think that it is wrong.
we could argue all day long on whether or not the bible is the infallible word of god. you are always going to say it is, and i am always going to say it is not.
so if we want to get anywhere, i am going to ask that you tell me WHY god thinks it is a sin.
and as far as my boyfriend goes, he loves me and cares about me very much. i assure you he does NOT think of me as an object.

139. Richelle,
IT is wrong because the Bible says so.I may not agree all the time with what God says,but since i am following him,and i know he is working for my good i just have to trust him on this one.
Sorry if my previous comments left you feeling insulted.
Thanks.

140. ok, i see i will never be able to get an answer from you.
saying god's thinks it's a sin because the bible says it's a sin and the bible is god's word gets us nowhere. it's circular reasoning.
what i want to know is WHY god would think of it as sinful. i want the reasoning behind this.
if i wrote down on a piece of paper that i think dogs are evil and you said "well, why do you think dogs are evil?" and i responded "because the piece of paper says they are and i wrote it" i would not be answering your question. i'd just be repeating the same thing. circular reasoning again.
and yes i am insulted by what you said. what insults me the most is that you talk about how i don't have "god's love" because i am a fornicator then you can't even tell me why it's so terrible for me to be having sex outside of marriage.
