I don't think the 10 Commandments mentions anything about homos.

Agreed CH, the only bit in the Top 10 about marriage is the adultery bit. So Mike wants to be "the people's president"? Which people? Obviously not the gay people or the people who think they deserve "equal protection under the law", quaint as that phrase may be. Does he want to be the president of folks just trying to make enough money to send back to their home country? He used to be, now he's not, but I think he may be one day again.

I also find this funny: The definition of marriage to Mike is to between one man and one woman and we can't change that. Uh, sure you can. Minds and laws are changed all the time, sister.

Slavery seems condoned in the older versions of the 10 Commandments.

Should we expect a new couple tablets from Mt. Kilimanjaro to update that?

"...the potential future first lady of the U.S., Janet Huckabee,.."
SAY WHAT! Presumptuousness at the least. Maybe you're just channeling Jetherine.

"People don't always understand his humor. I'm not going to say his choice of words is always the right choice of words."
Now that's funny.

Boy can those two parse words...but at least Janet didn't hide her rabid evangelical beliefs behind humor. She just skipped nicely around those 'touchy' issues...like how those 'nice' word/beliefs about homosexuals and abortions translate into real lives...into policy. (I remember Huck's first 'victim': The young incest victim who had to depend on the kindness of a stranger for an abortion because Huck used his office against her.) I don't know which is worse: Monkeyboy's empty swagger or Huck's hiding behind his stupid jokes. Anyone with two working brain cells knows that they're extreme religious beliefs are real and not some light hearted humor that we just don't get. (Yes, if you believe the world is only 5-6 thousand years old you're extreme...and ignorant.) Huck should have followed Jesus' footsteps and stayed out of politics because it's clear that living an honest life is not reconcilable with his political ambitions. He makes me sick and she's, well, a good wife.

I missed the anti-gay commandment, too.

Kind of like how I missed our laws being based on those 10 rules....kinda like how it's a felony to worship another god or have idols...or how it's illegal to use the Lord's name in vain...or how you can you be arrested for wanting a house as nice as your neighbor's (or his wife for that matter).

Let's face it: we have 3 commandments that became our laws...don't kill, don't steal, and don't bear false witness against your neighbor (which is actually only illegal during criminal proceedings). That's 3 out of 10....not good odds...

Not only did the Big Ten skip the homo question entirely, Jesus never mentioned it. With those two truths in mind what justification do today's preachers have for using the homo issue as one of the most important facing Amerika?

Why not some of the other absolute Mosiac Laws like working on the Sabbath which calls for the death penalty? If you fail to properly trim the locks of hair on your temples that too calls for the death penalty.

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."
Seneca

those rules were on the 3rd tablet that mel brooks brought down in history of the world and dropped. huck divined them through the movie screen.
i wish janet had a chance to show her elegant side in the interview but then shit happens. one thing she might have looked at is a difference between them and the clintons is the education. ouchita versus oxford and travel and trying to see how the world works after leaving school. locking yourself into the world of a baptist seminary church versus living the way the clintons did is a very different way to prepare one to live in the modern world.

Janet: "But I think that he's very to open the lifestyle of the gay community. That's not the issue."

Really?

Mike: "I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural and sinful lifestyle."

Which is it, Janet and Mike? Open to the lifestyle of the gay community, or convinced that the lifestyle of the gay community is aberrant, unnatural, and sinful?

Please tell the truth and shame the devil.

We expect nothing less from a man of the cloth.

And what would Jesus do and say about all of this, I wonder?

If you haven't seen the documentary, "Jesus Camp," beg, borrow or steal a copy.
Watched it this aft. and found it the most disturbing thing I have ever seen.
It was on A&E last night and I taped it.
