Seems to me that our very own Huckster is not running for President of the United States, he’s running for Preacher of the United States. Now, can’t you just see after his bright flame is snuffed out by his own parties leadership that he’ll pop up at some big church leading the flock on the t and v….Ronnie (Armani) Floyd better watch his back.

He talks and talks and talks

 Huckabee gave this speech to a religious convention in Salt Lake City. According to the account at the time in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Huckabee proclaimed that he got into politics because politics didn’t provide the real answers. He said the real answers could only be found in Jesus Christ.In other words: He’d abandoned his minister’s service to his holy one, who had the answers, so that he could enter this lesser secular field that didn’t provide any answers.

You’re thinking that surely I’m twisting or oversimplifying. So here’s his direct quote, and you can decide: “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.”

That can only mean one of two things. One is that Huckabee is trying to become president so he can subjugate the role and influence of government to the role and influence of religion, presumably his own. That’s a frightful prospect that, to be fully implemented, would require amending what our founders wrote in the Constitution.

The other possibility, the operative one, I am certain, is that he simply was popping off to appeal for the occasion to a religious audience with agreeable and ingratiating words.
