It's official, Huckabee is a crackpot.

THat candidate profiler said Mitt Romney for me...wow, who-da thunkit?

I was sure that I saw eye-to-eye with Huckabee...It was Guiliani and McCain after that...

I take that back! I misread it completely:

In order, according to this German, not American, website, here's who I need to consider:
Romney
Giuliani
Thompson
Edwards eek)
Huckabee
McCain
Clinton
Obama

I think this was due to the fact that I think there needs to be a timeline to get the hell out of Iraq. I didn't think we did before, but I'm seriously looking at all my shipmates having to do an IA tour over there in the next year or two and that simply scares the shit out of me. I don't want to lose any of them, especially to some psychopath that thinks that Bin Laden is the "enlightened one".

 

[hubersrj]

Really simple for me

John McCain

I don't even have to take a profile

So do the profile anyway and break it down for us.

You might be as surprised as I was at the results.

The United States Constitution never uses the word "God" or makes mention of any religion, drawing its sole authority from "We the People." However, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks it's time to put an end to that. "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."

For those of you that agree with this... what changes? Can someone please point out where the constitution would benefit from a change to include God.

How would that benefit us as a nation without making us look like a bunch of wack jobs to the rest of the world?

One more point, making changes, any changes to the constitution is serious business. It's not something that should ever be done on a whim.... ever.

Hmmm this is strange really.. He's a Southern Baptist, and one of their postitions is:

SBC Position Statements - Church and State

We stand for a free church in a free state. Neither one should control the affairs of the other. We support the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, with its "establishment" and "free exercise" clauses.

Seems to me that he's going against his own church here.

Not really...I personally don't agree with a lot of the Baptist's beliefs, but they've never wanted to take over things. Now, along with several other denominations, the Baptists themselves have different sects. Some are very conservative and some are very liberal. Southern Baptists tend to be more conservative than anything else, but Huckabee is also a politician. HE knows how to be true to his beliefs, but also how to appeal to the masses.

With Romney winning MI last night, that puts Huckabee in 3rd place I beleive, in the GOP. Romney's clearly in the driver's seat now, but it's still anyone's race.

 

[IntruderLS1]

If mentions of the divine in government documents make us whack jobs Tim, then we're well established whacks in this country already.

I don't understand how they could be listing different voting numbers.

 

[hubersrj]

I don't understand how they could be listing different voting numbers.

I don't know either...but I think it's based on percentages of votes since the actual delegate votes don't get counted until the Conventions...I'm not sure. If you go to the site, maybe they have a better explanation.

 

[All Else Failed]

You get worked up over the strangest stuff.

What do you think us crazy Christan's are going to do? BBQ atheists and force them to teach the Bible to your kids?

The Nation was in fact founded on a certain set of principals. What's the harm in reminding ourselves of them from time to time?

You demand your theory be taught in schools, and you don't even know your theory!!

Sorry but America was in no way founded on Christianity. America has a secular government.


No, I do understand evolution, stop referring to the cosmic debate.

 

[All Else Failed]

kinda interesting

StemWijzer



religion has ALWAYS been in politics .. funny how that works

Um, no. The original pledge had no mention of god, it was put in much later during the red scare, and should be removed.

AEF, the US was very much founded on Christian morals and beliefs with the understanding that the two do need to stay in their corners. That was done to protect freedom of religion as much as keeping religion out of politics. But seriously, if religion and politics are are polar opposites, then why does the liberally-biased media always raise flags when talking about a candidates religion...wait, I mean about a Republican's religion. The only Democratic candidate that I've even heard been briefly brought up when it comes to religion is Obama because of the unfounded concern that he was a closet Muslim.

If a candidate wants to bring up religion, he/she does so at his/her own risk, but I in now way want to pass judgement on someone due to their religion or religious beliefs.

Can you show me proof what sect Huckabee belongs to?

This I've never understood. Why do hundreds of Christians interpret Christianity differently? If you guys can't agree on it, how do you expect credibility?

I sure as hell do, especially if their religion is going to influence their political judgment.

He's Southern Baptist...you pointed that out yourself.

It's not a matter of not agreeing on something, it's a matter of interpretation. Muslims are the same way. The only thing that Atheists can agree on is that there is no God, correct?

 

[hubersrj]

Why is that any different from having no religion influence your political judgements? How can you make judements at all if religion is not behind it?

I know your answer already, but I'd like to be able to reply to it as well....

LOL I'm not an Atheist so I don't know. But then again, Atheists don't have a doctrine.

You said he was apart of a subsect of the SBC. I want to know what subsect it is so I can go research them.

I never said that...please feel free to quote me correctly. I said he was in a subsect of the Baptists. Southern Baptist. There's Evangelical's also along with the Missionary Baptists. I'm sure there are a few other's as well.
