Huckabee: Number One
By VictorM:What's with the Number 1 to the left? That's my declaration that Mike Huckabee is the USA's Public Enemy Number One.
This article in Mother Jones gives us a good glimpse into this man, including many quotes from his 1998 book, Kids Who Kill:
Huckabee, a former Baptist minister, was hit with questions regarding his past remarks and positions on religion (in 1998 he said, "I hope we...take this nation back for Christ"), on AIDS (in 1992 he proposed that people with the disease be quarantined), and on the role of women in society (in 1998 he endorsed an ad affirming the Baptist teaching that a "wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband"). And Huckabee was obviously trying to come across as a friendly and reasonable fundamentalist who eschewed the politics of division.Remember the "compassionate conservatism" of George Bush? That was a ruse just as Huckabee's "friendly and reasonable fundamentalism" is now. But while I always felt Bush used religion to move his agenda, Huckabee's religion moves his agenda. And that's a far scarier proposition to me.
Kids Who Kill presented a black-and-white perspective: environmentalists, homosexuals, civil libertarians, supporters of social programs, advocates of workplace equality, and nonbelievers are on the dark side and allied with the forces of decline; people who believe in the Bible are the decent Americans.Jesus! Gotta keep this religious fanatic from the White House.
