Under a headline, "Is Mike Huckabee Nuts?", a Huffington Post writer says:
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee wants to turn the United States back over to God and Jesus.Huckabee actually said this in a just released 60 second commercial for Lou Engle's "The Call."
In the spot Huckabee says, "Fast and pray and turn this nation back to God, as Jesus is our only hope." He goes on to tell everyone to go to Sacramento and fast and pray for the sanctity of marriage over Labor Day Weekend.
The Huckster will pray for the sanctity of marriage right after he runs to the bank to deposit checks for his TV show, on which he recently showcased an adulterer's website. A source close to Huckabee insists his show receives no advertising from the website, despite what Jason Tolbert said on the blog post linked here.

Is Sacramento going to become kind of like what Mecca is to the Muslims or something? And who is the "adulterer" you were referring? Is this person embracing the adultery aspect of their being to the extent they are labeled an official "adulterer"? Does that still come with one of those cool purple letters?
But the real story in all of this is when did Ariana Huffington officially became a big lib? She started out as a privileged, conservative, white, marry your way into wealth republican women's libber during the 90s.
ActOut, every time you get one of your well-deserved beatings, your body provides you with a veritable color wheel. The fresh flowing blood is red or scarlet or cardinal, You should have bruises in most other colors, but the purple ones are the color that looks like it was made from half red and half blue.
Tolbert gets attention/webhits as as a "former Huckabee supporter" and blogger. Far more than he did before. It's the same principle that David Sanders embarked on when he set out for a career in journalism. No one takes you seriously when they think you're a lackey, but when you're a disgruntled former aide, it's payday!
"sanctity of marriage" ??
WTF is this? In a nation with a divorce rate of 50%. And Huck is from the state listed numero three in THIRD marriages.
But, Huck is just echoing our distinguished junior Senator: "Jesus didn't come to take sides, he came to take over."
That's the stuff you say when you don't have to have a very high IQ to be in the U.S. Senate. It's true you don't need a high IQ in the U.S. Senate. You just need to be able to do as you're told. Senators are sent.

And Huck, who's God are you pushing today? Whenever I hear someone say that the world would be right if we return prayer to school. I think that a good Anglican (Episcopal) prayer isn't what they really want.
"Isn't scarlet sort of purple though." Sweet Weepin' Jesus.
With the huckster, it's always all about the cabbage.
Mike hearts $.
If Jesus were REALLY everywhere like they say, He would have done cast Moneychanger Mike out of the Temple by now.
Just imagine the field day they'd have with Bill Maher if he had this same segment on his show. Who would be at the front of the line giving him hell? I'll give you a hint...his kid likes to skin dogs.
couldn't be better:
Now *there's* a good one...returning prayer to school. Nobody took prayer out of schools. (As long as there is Algebra in schools, so will there also be prayer.)
>>As long as there is Algebra in schools, so will there also be prayer.<<
except that E=MC2 is a LIBERAL conspiracy. I seen it on Conserva peteria

eLwood, of course you are right. Now this is troubling me: Do my child have to keep on studying in that vile book the school gave him AFTER the e=mc2 part? Or can we just tell him to stop right there because we are a church-going right-living Conservapeteria family.
Of course it wont be long before Satan has rewrote the math books with that sinful bidness on the last page, but for now, what is the rules?
Hugh Mann,
When I was teaching Chemistry and Physics in high school, I think there was a lot of praying going on. As we told the kids trying to get them NOT to take Physics, think of the worst word problem they ever had in algebra and then imagine an entire year with only word problems with extra numbers thrown in just to confuse you. Worked on years # 2 & # 3 but by year # 5, there were 19, 1 guy and 18 young women. And they did the work! Small rural school district where the biggest job was convincing them that the competition for their job wasn't the next town but a kid in China going to school 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. When I went to China for the adoption of my 4th granddaughter (and 2nd from China), there was a elementery school behind the hotel and I saw the young kids walking to school from a city bus in the dark and back to the bus, also in the dark. They know that education is the key for their success.
cbb,
Thank you for your service to our country! (Good) teachers are my heroes. China isn't the only country putting emphasis on academics and threatening our standing in academic arenas. If we put as much emphasis on education as we do athletics, we'd be in much better shape.
Don't kids need time to just be kids any more? Play baseball in the back yard, camp out, play those blasted video games over and over, dig in the dirt, important stuff like that? I dont think they need to go to school from before daylight till dark; they need teacher assessment and testing and getting rid of the weak ones. they need NOT to spend weeks studying for a guvment achievement test. they need time to go to the library and read and have someone read to them in school. High school kids need less emphasis on SAT/ACT scores; we need to worry more about them retaining some value from the material, not going to special ACT classes for a month in the summer and trying to study to get ready to take a test. Again and again and again, in some cases.
cbb, I agree with you that the Chinese do seem to realize the importance of education. are there gangs over there? Do girls get pregnant at 14 and drop out? I've never known. But still -- A kid needs time to be a kid. being at daycare by 630 a.m. and having violin and ballet and underwater basket-weaving classes after school every day to give my kid an advantage over yours isn't doing the poor kid any favors.
I remember Father Tribou at Catholic High saying that the best form of government, as far as the people are concerned, would be an benevelent monarchy. The worst form could be a tyrannical monarchy but in both cases, you at least get a single direction and the contry knows where it is moving. They may not be happy but there is no confusion.
With out system (and I use rthe term very loosely), we have a president and 535 mini-presidents who all march to different drummers held by those who have the money. They can't get their act together to get anything done for the country but they damn well can be sure that the rich get what is needed to make their lives better. These are the clowns that want to get rid of meat and produce inspections, let industry police itself ( BP was doing that when all hell broke loose), get rid of all environmental and labor laws and would re-institute child labor if they thought they could get by doing it.
Government by the rich, for the rich, and the best government money by.
"Christian Nation"? BS, the only god is money.
Having just relocated to Sackamenna I will state unequivocally:
Dear Rev Bro Huckabuck,
Keep your whiney, money-grubbing ass out of my new city!
Thanks, and same to you,
Larry
That's what I meant, RYD, about getting your revenge later.
Old habits die hard.
I may be nothing more than a "Monday morning quarterback." but I still say if…
