I have serious issues with Mike Huckabee's more and more theocratic overtones in his campaign speeches.
He talks about "brining the nation back for Christ" and "a woman should submit to her husband as the church submits to Christ". His Blblically based positions on such things as gay marriage and abortion is troubling to me.
Why you ask?
There is this guy you might have heard of. His name is Osama bin Laden. He is waging a Jihad against America, Isreal, and any one else that does not subscribe to Sharia law. Sharia law is where the nations of the world have a body of laws whose foundation is the Koran and the teachings of Mohammed.
Aren't we fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world to prevent that from happening?
Then why should we support a man for the most powerful seat in the world that would do something very similar here in America?
I am just as leery of endorsing a man for president that wants to bring biblical teachings into his worldview of the United States and his views of Constitution as I am of bin Laden and his ilks to spread Sharia Law around the world.
I am not saying that Huckabee equals a evangelical bin Laden, but there is a reason why our founders rooted our nation in the principles of the Judeo-Christian ethic but not biblical in its content. Our founders escaped from England to have the freedom to practice their religion free from the binds of the state-ran Anglican church. We all should not use religion as a litmus test for the presidency, whether Huckabee's positions on the Bible and religion or Romney is a Mormon. We have to judge them based on how they will lead this nation of men and women with the laws that we, human beings, have passed. The fact that Huckabee is stucturing his campaign first and foremost around his religion than around policy issues is very troubling for me.
