It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
 | Mike Huckabee for Ayatollah 2008! |
Mike Huckabee is running for President of the Unites States, but he seems to keep forgetting that. Consider what he once had to say to the Southern Baptist Pastors’ Conference: “Government knows it does not have the answer, but it’s arrogant and acts as though it does. Church does have the answer but will cowardly deny that it does and wonder when the world will be changed.”
So, Mike Huckabee wants to change the world, and wants church to do it. In fact, he doesn’t want the government to do it, and doesn’t think that government ought to act to change the world.
If Mike Huckabee really believes that to be true, why is he running for President of the U.S. government?
Huckabee explained to the Southern Baptist gathering that, “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.”
So, what does that mean, practically speaking? How would Mike Huckabee apply these ideas if he became President?
It seems that Mike Huckabee doesn’t believe that he would be able to solve any problems as Executive leader of the government. He got into politics, as a matter of fact, because he didn’t want government to have the answers.
Mike Huckabee wants the Christian Church to regain the courage to assert its power to provide the answers for society, instead of the government. To put this vision, of a weak government and a strong church, into reality is the reason he got into politics, and it seems that this vision remains Huckabee’s motivation.
There is another nation that has already followed that model, of weak secular government and powerful religious authority. It’s the country of Iran.
Mike Huckabee, perhaps without knowing it, is urging that the United States abandon its secular democracy in order to follow the example of leadership provided by the ayatollahs in Iran. For that reason, I’m suggesting that he change the name of his campaign, from Mike Huckabee for President to Mike Huckabee for Ayatollah.

You seem totally unaware of all the arguments, discussions, speeches, articles, etc. of the Founding Fathers concerning religion and politics…GOVERNMENT can not solve the real problems (personal OR societal) and the founders knew it - that’s why we got the system we HAD….I say had because we have thrown it away and forgotten FREEDOM - falling instead for the siren song of the politicans who promise idiot/lazy voters everything.
The Huckster is just another one lying to us - he sold his soul to the CFR big boys in late Sept with that speech to the CSIS and its been Huck-Huck-Huck ever since by the media.

Dave Calvert, on the responsibility of government, you’re speaking blatant nonsense. If the founders believed that government could not solve problems, then they wouldn’t have established the constitutional responsibility of Congress to provide for the “General Welfare”.
I’m sorry that your presidential candidate of choice, Ron Paul, has been caught being a hypocrite on earmarks, and has been caught associating with white supremacists, but your coming here and making false statements about American history won’t help him.

So, Dave, have you read the preamble to the Constitution and junk like that?
