On January 3, 2008 Huckabee Won the Iowa Republican Caucuses

Though this may piss off Chuck Norris I must out Mike Huckabee as a religious extremist.


He talks like a politician and mitigates his insane position of radicalism to get applause. Hucabee believes in the literal interpretation of the Bible. He believes that it provides a perfect instruction on morality, history, spirituality, and science. He has also said that he believes that school children should be instructed in Creationism.
Huckabee's position of a literal interpretation of the Bible has a broader implication for his potential as president. He has said that he would not keep his extremist religious beliefs seperate from his policy decisions. The televalgalist he worked for also echos this sentiment.
For an example of how this kind of thing might play out, look to his prior position on AIDS. In the past he has advocated seperating those with AIDS from the population and later justified his position by claiming his ignorance about how it was spread was a widespread ignorance in 1992. Except at the time religious conservatives of his stripe were promoting this particular brand of ignorance for political reasons, based primairly on hatered of homosexuals. He has since tempered his position to one that sells better on a national stage. Perhaps Huckabee will only insist on a literal following of Leviticus as US law. Get ready to stop shaving and start stoning to death your smart ass kids.

At least hes sane enough to oppose gun control.

A person of any other religious persuasion would be a fringe candidate if they held these same kinds of views. But in America we almost require our politicians to be religious wackos. I blame Karl Rove.

Is it me or does that Chuck Norris ad seem a little creepy? Although listening to Huckabee recite Chuck Norris myths is pretty amusing.
