Chucking the Huckster

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul

Far be it from me to defy the force that is Chuck Norris. After
all, it is a recognized fact that we are not living in a democracy, but
rather a Chucktatorship. It is less well-known, however, that Chuck
Norris does not actually write his columns here at WND, they simply
assemble themselves out of fear.

While it is good to see that the living legend has not fallen
for the Hillary-lite candidates offered by the Republican Party elite,
I fear that in rejecting the Tennessee Toad as well as the
media-approved triumvirate of Romney, Giuliani and McCain, he has
bought into the charade of a second-rate Arkansas charlatan.

There is no doubting that Mike Huckabee talks a promising game,
but that is a job requirement for a preacher or a self-help guru, not a
president. Unfortunately, Huckabee’s gubernatorial record, as chronicled in no little detail last week by Ilana Mercer,
is more than spotty, it is downright rife with the very sort of warning
signs that many conservatives now wish that they had heeded when George
W. Bush was first running for president.

Moreover, like most of the other candidates, Huckabee is
unelectable because he basically mimics Hillary’s position on the two
primary issues of the election cycle. He is pro-occupation,
pro-imperial and pro-delusional, being very hawkish on dealing with the
imaginary threat posed by Iran, while at the same time being dovish on
the matter of the actual invasion of the country by tens of millions of
foreign nationals. One has to wonder if Huckabee would change his mind
were Iranians physically to invade the country armed only with infants
instead of pursuing a weapons technology in the obvious interest of
avoiding a third American-sponsored overthrow of their government in
the last 50 years.

Now, Mr. Norris did a nice job last week
of demonstrating that Huckabee is less egregiously anti-American than
most of his fellow Republican candidates on the issue of the ongoing
Mexican migration. However, in doing so, he missed two key points. The
first is the way in which history shows very clearly that the effects
of a migration of this size, legal or illegal, will permanently alter
the target culture. One need only analyze Mexican history to realize
that the politics of Spanish-speaking immigrants are, quite literally,
entirely foreign to the American political spectrum and they are more
likely to change the American spectrum than they are to be shaped by
it.

(Column continues below)

Second, and more importantly, Norris and Huckabee are both
confusing government policies with private religious responsibilities.
One cannot be “charitable” via the mechanism of government nor can one
impose “Christian” measures through the passage of laws and
regulations; this is the same socially liberal thinking which
left-wingers use to justify anti-poverty programs. To use the example
of children coming to Jesus Christ as an argument for anchor babies and
against the deportation of underage illegal immigrants borders on the
blasphemous, as the analogy equates American citizenship with
Christianity and the federal government with Jesus Christ.

Huckabee is in many ways the philosophical successor to George
W. Bush, and as such, it should be no surprise that he appeals to the
same sort of Christian conservative who bought into the vision of
“compassionate conservativism.” But the vision is a false one, a
deceptive one, and just as many Christian conservatives now regret
their 2000 and 2004 votes for the current president, those who support
Huckabee would likely come to regret that support in the unlikely event
that the man should gain traction over the course of the early
primaries and go on to upset Mitt Romney and the other frontrunners.

The reality that Christians must keep in mind is this: Any
Republican candidate who does not abide strictly by the U.S.
Constitution is an oathbreaker and a proven liar. His words are
meaningless, his promises are null and void, because he has already
demonstrated that he will not hesitate to break his word in the
interest of exercising political power.

Mike Huckabee may be a good man, but like most of his rivals,
he has openly stated that he has no intention of abiding by the
Constitution. Therefore, he should be rejected as a potential president
by every Christian, every conservative and every constitutionalist,
especially in light of the fact that there is another candidate whose
personal integrity and respect for the Constitution are unquestioned,
even by his enemies. I suggest, therefore, that it is Ron Paul, and not
Mike Huckabee, who is far worthier of the martial arts master’s regard.
