Would you like to try again! Dissemble for a month or so with your snaky dishonesty and then pretend the posts have disappeared or everyone has forgotten!! You shot off your big mouth and now you are too gutless to admit it! Why don’t you continue to pretend that the Christian theocracy movement to turn America into a “Christian Nation” and the Constitution into a reflection of scriptural standards, is unknown to all American voters and to virtually everyone on this thread. Christ, you are stupid. The dumbest people on the internet have Google news…eh??!! :-) "Please provide a full quote and a source." Message 28063265 Christ! You can't look up speeches by Huckabee?? Obviously, the quote stands on its own. He wants to AMEND THE CONSTITUTION SO IT'S IN GOD'S STANDARDS--("the word of the living God") (who dat??)! Heh heh Clearly that violates the separation of Church and State. Only a theocracy can impose and enforce religious values of a particular religious group from the power seat of a Nation's Constitution. You would LOVE that! And don't be a Craven Liar and deny it!!! firstread.msnbc.msn.com "[Some of my opponents] 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," Huckabee said, referring to the need for a constitutional human life amendment and an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. 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. rawstory.com Huckabee: Amend Constitution to be in 'God's standards' David Edwards and Muriel Kane Published: Tuesday January 15, 2008 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." When Willie Geist reported Huckabee's opinion on MSNBC's Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn't immediately find much to say beyond calling it "interesting," Scarborough finally suggested that while he believes "evangelicals should be able to talk politics ... some might find that statement very troubling, that we're going to change the Constitution to be in line with the Bible. And that's all I'm going to say." Geist further noted of Huckabee that if "someone without his charm," said that, "he'd be dismissed as a crackpot, but he's Mike Huckabee and he's bascially the front-runner."
