Mike Huckabee is a delusional reconstructionist

Mike Huckabee gave a speech this week in Michigan. When he got to talking about a ban on abortion, gay marriage and other fun “family” values, the republican frontrunner had this to say.

I have opponents in this race who 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 – 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.

Why not, Huck? Your god sure did a great job coming up with standards in the Old Testament. How about we ban physical labor on Sundays, kill homosexuals and stone disobedient children while we’re at it? Maybe your pal Chuck Norris could be in charge of the blood sacrifices.

This man is absolutely insane. Not only does he believe that teaching the fact of evolution is “indoctrination” – he’s open about his theocratic intentions and a good number of people want him to be leader of the most powerful country in the world.

What’s strange is that unlike his revisionist counterparts, it appears Huckabee hasn’t bought into the lie of America being founded on “Judeo-Christian principles.” He acknowledges the Constitution as a secular document as well as the government’s responsibility to remain neutral in the realm of religion. Make no mistake: he is the one wanting to change things.

The thought of a possible president with such perverted views of religious liberty would make our nation’s founders roll in the grave. It’s time America realizes the dangers of electing a theocrat salivating over the idea of instituting canon law.
