The Reverend/Governor Michael Dale Huckabee and his fractured Christianity
December 12, 2010
Hustler, abuser, liar, flim-flam artist, opportunist, and theocrat—one dangerous dude. As a writer wrote recently, “don’t give this redneck preacher the keys to the Whitehouseâ€.
Here are some of his recent bombastic revelations and in my judgment some are outright criminally inspired:
IDEOLOGUE VS. PRAGMATISM
On his Saturday night TV show 11/20/10 Huckabee stated (I paraphrase)….â€it’s good to be an ideologue in speeches, political rallies, but in the final analysis you must be a pragmatist.†(Truth is relative.) What Huckabee is saying is no philosophy or point of view is worth fighting for in its pure form and ultimately the “end justifies the meansâ€.
COMPROMISE
His show of 12/11/10…in an exchange with his guest Mancow Muller. Muller said Republicans are cowards for their recent political retreat in not demanding the Bush tax cuts be permanent and at the same time should have refused to implement another 13 months of unemployment insurance, which is obviously another $100 billion tax increase adding to the $14 trillion deficit. Mancow, in the same screed, chided Huckabee for having law-breaker Charlie Rangel on his show while treating him like a conquering hero. Huckabee became livid and stated with white heat that there must be Compromise and Bi-partisanship. Recall if you will that Tea Partiers demanded no compromise and go straight for the jugular in their legislative positions. Republicans have and are indeed caving, again.
ASSASSINATION
Without knowledge and speaking from a public relations position, Huckabee has called for the execution of Julian Assange, CEO of Wikileaks. In this same vein, fellow neocon Sarah Palin called for the hunting down of Assange as “if he were Osama bin Ladenâ€. Huckabee has called Assange’s conduct treason, while Assange is an Aussie and no part of the U.S. government. Huckabee would be advised to take to heart what Thomas Jefferson said, “Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safeâ€. Huckabee further stated in his diatribe against Assange that he was revealing Top Secret documents—a gross untruth. Only classified documents have been released. No damage has been done by Assange’s revelations except to expose some of the corruption emanating from the U.S. and other governments. The NY Times, Washington Post, The Guardian have revealed such documents, i.e. the Pentagon Papers with no such consequences.
DESTROY IRAN
The pompous ass Huckabee, playing to a Jewish Bet El audience 12/5/10 in NYC, exclaimed the U.S. should attack and destroy Iran for the sake of Israel, for which he received a thunderous ovation. Huckabee also proclaimed that U.S. military forces should be used—more applause heard. In my counting, the U.S. is involved in FIVE unconstitutional no-win wars funded by money printed out of thin air, while murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, Pakis, Afghans, Somalians, & Yemenis, not to mention our own troops. Huckabee understands that the easiest war to fight is when you send someone else to do the dirty deed.
Huckabee is an extremely dangerous Theocrat. He pillaged the Arkansas state government as Governor for 10 years. Most damning was his secret negotiations with then Mexican President Vicente Fox, to establish a Mexican Consulate in Little Rock for the express purpose of warehousing and disseminating illegal Mexicans into the illegal labor forces of Arkansas, MO. MS. & TN. using bogus Matricular Consular I.D. cards issued by the unconstitutional Consulate. The creation of the Mexican Consulate is a violation of Article 4, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution. Huckabee had the temerity, in a nationally televised debate with a host of other candidates for the presidency, that he would stop the illegal Mexican invasion.
Huckabee has no mooring.
