This was may favorite answer in the debate, but although it doesn't occur here, Huckabee has a habit of using too many evangelical metaphors for a politician.

MS. WASHBURN: Is the debt a threat to our national security?

MR. HUCKABEE: It's most certainly a national security threat because a country can only be free if it can do three things.

First, it has to be able to feed itself. It has to be able to put food on the table for its own citizens.

Secondly, it's got to be able to fuel itself. If it looks to somebody else for its energy needs, it's only as free as those are willing for it to be.

And it also has to be able to fight for itself. It's got to be able to manufacture its own weapons of defense -- tanks, airplanes, bullets and bombs. When we start outsourcing everything and we are in that kind of a trade deficit, then just remember, who feeds us, who fuels us and who helps us to fight, that's to whom we are enslaved.
