I’m a bit hesitant to link to The Raw Story but if this is for real … it’s a little disconcerting, to say the least:
“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution,” Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. “But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.”
When Willie Geist reported Huckabee’s opinion on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn’t immediately find much to say beyond calling it “interesting”
Someone needs to ask Huckabee exactly what he means by that comment.
If he means we should add stuff about loving your neighbor as yourself, or about feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and healing the sick … well, maybe he’s got a point. But if it’s the parts about killing homosexuals and making women into chattel, well, that’s another story.
He doesn’t think G-d listens to your prayers either.
He is only one of many who are trying to ram the fiction that the founding fathers were Christian down the American people’s throat.
Possibly the most dangerous of all currently runing.
I believe it was 2008 that Robert A. Heinlein has a southern fundamentilist elected President (Revolt in 2100). There is no election in 2012.
Heinlein is credited with the ideas behind the waterbed, moving walkways and the cell phone. One can also make a good case for the linear accelerator and the atomic power plant.
I tend to discount Heinlein thanks to his rampant sexism, but you do have a point…..
