Meet Mike Huckabee. He's a Republican Party front runner for president of the United States of America.
I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution, 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 is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards.

So Huckabee wants to change the U.S. Constitution to add a "human life amendment" and an amendment to define marriage as between a human male and a human female. Why? Why should America's secular law be based on Southern Baptists' interpretation of their translation of the Bible? How is this any, any different than Islamists who wish to install sharia law? |
| How can Huckabee and his supporters even reconcile their lust for theocratic rule with our secular Constitution? The 1st Amendment states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." Not only does Huckabee wish to amend our Constitution, but by doing so he wishes to repeal the 1st Amendment.
When all Biblical sins become crimes, will punishments too be as prescribed by the Bible? Jon Ponder of the Pensito Review writes:
Unlike the biblical prohibitions against gay sex, which are buried in lists of abominations in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the warning against adultery is in the Ten Commandments, right up there with murder and lying...
In fact, while being gay is an abomination-class sin - along with eating shellfish, leftovers and snakes, reading a horoscope, burning incense, women wearing pants, arrogance, improperly covering your poop in the desert, to name a few - there are only Ten Commandments, and if you believe any of it, you have believe that being an adulterer is as immoral, and thus should be as illegal, as being gay, if not moreso...
Our corporate media, MSNBC in this instance, prevaricates about the bush:
Huckabee often refers to the need to amend the constitution on these grounds, but he has never so specifically called for the Constitution to be brought within "God's standards," which are themselves debated amongst religious scholars. As a closing statement he asked the room of nearly 500 supporters to "pray and then work hard, and in that order," to help him secure a victory in Tuesday's GOP primary.
At least MSNBC covered Huckabee's pronouncement, unlike most of corporate media. Huckabee is, by far, the most dangerous candidate running for the presidency of the United States of America. The media's focus is on Huckabee's populist, folksy charm when it should be on his theocratic aims for our nation and his raving mad followers.
