The Great Huck(ster)bee<\/p>\n

Author\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s note:<\/span><\/u>
\n<\/span>Most, if not all of the information
\nfor this and other national exposure of Huckabee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wrongdoings would not have
\ngotten to the public\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s notice without the untiring efforts of anti-illegal
\nimmigration activist and Mike Huckabee watchdog, Joe McCutchen and his wife,
\nBarbara, of Fort Smith, AR. For more on the exploits of Huckabee visit Joe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s
\nwebsite: <\/span><\/em>ArkansasFreedom<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/em> <\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/em>I live in Arkansas. I have lived through two terms of
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153governance\u00e2\u20ac\u009d under Mike Huckabee. That alone qualifies me for membership in the
\nvastly expanding BYVMHCO (before you vote for Mike Huckabee, check this out)
\nearly warning academy. This encouraging and growing movement is represented by
\na lot of ex-Huckabee fans \u00e2\u20ac\u201c inside and outside his circles \u00e2\u20ac\u201c who were, like me,
\nsorely disappointed and angry at his metamorphic personality.<\/p>\n

\nAt this point I should admit the error of my ways concerning Mr. Huckabee. I
\nvoted for the man the first time around. Yep, I fell for his \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a
\nConservative, Christian, honorable and trustworthy man of humble upbringing\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nsyrup drippings. It grieves me greatly to look back on this weakness.<\/p>\n

\nNow, having gotten all that off my chest, I will proceed here to, hopefully,
\nenlighten the BYVMHCO academy with a couple of heretofore unknown sins of the
\nBaptist preacher.<\/p>\n

\nMy first dealing with Huckabee came shortly after his first term began. At that
\ntime I was actively working for private property issues. I was a co-founder of
\na property rights organization called Take Back Arkansas. We had discovered
\nthat a great land theft was afoot. The United Nations and local
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153environmentalists\u00e2\u20ac\u009d were wasting no efforts in an attempt to establish the <\/span>Ozark Man and the Biosphere
\nReserve in our own backyard. We were eventually successful despite Governor
\nHuckabee resistance.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>When we raised enough awareness of this tomfoolery the good
\ngovernor began getting a lot of pressure to own up to his involvement. (We knew
\nhe was working with the Fish and Game Commissioner in helping the UN get
\ncontrol of a massive amount of private and public property. We actually had a
\ncopy of a letter Huckabee had sent to the commissioner instructing him to
\nassist the UN and environmental groups to actually turn over a huge section of
\nthe land and inhabitants of his own state to international control. But I get
\nahead of myself.)<\/p>\n

\nUpon finding out about the UN scheme we were na\u00c3\u00afve enough to think that a
\nletter to the office of the huckster would call his attention to what was
\nhappening and he would, of course, put an immediate stop to the land grab. His
\nresponse? Silence. We persisted, however, and managed \u00e2\u20ac\u201c as I state above \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to
\nbring a lot of pressure on the governor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s office and the members of the state
\nlegislature. (At the time I hosted a local radio program which was, needless to
\nsay, a great help. (More on that later.)<\/p>\n

\nHaving no choice but break his cover-up-by-silence efforts, Huckabee came out
\nand vociferously denied that the plan existed and that those who were saying it
\ndid exist were a bunch of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153black helicopter\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, anti-UN types who were trying to
\nscare the good citizens of Arkansas. I am sure I remember him saying something
\nto the fact that if any such effort as described by we scaremongers was ongoing
\nhe would have stopped it long ago.<\/p>\n

\nSo there was the governor of the State of Arkansas, effortlessly lying to his
\nown citizens about a life-shattering event that would change their lives in a
\ndevastating manner. And in so doing he gleefully tried to destroy the
\nreputations of other Arkansans. Typical acts of a true Christian? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll leave
\nthat for the reader to decide.<\/p>\n

\nIt was at this time that we released the letter \u00e2\u20ac\u201csigned by Huckabee \u00e2\u20ac\u201c wherein
\nhe had instructed the Arkansas Fish and Game Commissioner to proceed with
\nassisting in the implementation of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153plan that didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exist\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Well, needless
\nto say, the barnyard filler hit the fan. Huckabee, acting like a kid with his
\nhand in the cookie jar, began a barrage of denials, blame shifting and
\nscapegoating that would have done Bill Clinton proud. We had managed to drag
\nhim kicking and screaming into the realm of truth. A realm in which, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure,
\nhe did not recognize as familiar surroundings. Much to his discomfort he had to
\nconfront his deceit and openly put a stop to Arkansas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 cooperation in the UN
\ninvasion and the Biosphere plans were abandoned. <\/span>Read Defeating
\nthe Biosphere by Henry Lamb<\/a> <\/p>\n

\nMy second up front and personal experience with Huckabee happened during an
\ninterview with him on live radio. I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t entice the man with the mutating
\nmouth to be a guest on my show but a friend of mine who had a show following
\nmine managed to land him and invited me to take part.<\/p>\n

\nMany questions were asked covering a multitude of subjects. As is his wont,
\nHuckabee danced around the difficult ones in a manner that would make Bo
\nJangles proud. I wanted desperately to get him on the subject of property rights
\nand finally my chance came. I asked him for his opinion on regulatory takings
\nand the property loss of individuals without just recompense by the government
\nas called for in the Constitution.<\/p>\n

\nI could see the anger in his face when I confronted him this subject. His
\nanswer? He stated that the taking of property by the government without paying
\nfor it had to be considered on a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153case by case\u00e2\u20ac\u009d basis. I thought I had him
\nthere and went in for the kill. Or at least I tried to. I began a question
\nabout how he could justify his position that the Fifth Amendment could be
\nignored on a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153case by case\u00e2\u20ac\u009d rationale. Half way through the question his face
\nbecame livid and he interrupted me and changed the subject. <\/p>\n

\nThere you have it. The governor of an American state was on record as a liberal
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153the Constitution is a living document\u00e2\u20ac\u009d adherent. So much for Huckabee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s
\nadherence to the law of the land. He actually thinks the Constitution of the
\nUnited States is his to play with to further his insatiable thirst for power over
\nthe people. Not a standard for conservatism, that.<\/p>\n

\nNow add the following to his resume: (It may serve the reader well to remember
\nthat Huckabee was propped up by support and financial help by several corporate
\ntycoons who made a great deal of profit off the backs of exploited captive
\nlabor.)<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>*<\/span><\/strong>Huckabee tried to give
\nscholarships for criminal aliens to attend Arkansas state colleges <\/p>\n

<\/span>*<\/span><\/strong>Huckabee increased the
\naverage Arkansan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tax burden
\nby 47 percent, boosting the levies on gasoline and cigarettes<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>*<\/span><\/strong>Quin Hillyer, a former
\nArkansas journalist writing in the conservative American Spectator was quoted
\nby Greg Peirce in the Washington Times as saying, “[Huckabee] used public
\nmoney for family restaurant meals, boat expenses, and other personal uses. He
\ntried to claim as his own some $70,000 of furniture donated to the governor’s
\nmansion. He repeatedly, and obstinately, against the pleadings even from
\nconservative columnists and editorials, refused to divulge the names of donors
\nto a ‘charitable’ organization he set up while lieutenant governor–an outfit
\nwhose main charitable purpose seemed to be to pay Huckabee to make speeches.
\nThen, as a kicker, he misreported the income itself from the suspicious
\n‘charity.'”<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>*<\/span><\/strong>Roy Beck, president of
\nNumbersUSA said the following about Huckabee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s record on illegal immigration: “He
\nwas an absolute disaster on immigration as governor; Every time there was any
\nenforcement in his state, he took the side of the illegal aliens.”<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span>*<\/span><\/strong>Article 1 Section 10 of the
\nUS Constitution reads as follows: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No State shall enter into any Treaty,
\nAlliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money;
\nemit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in
\nPayment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law
\nimpairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/em>And
\nyet, Jerome Corsi, author of the best seller “The Late Great
\nUSA.”<\/em><\/a> w<\/span>riting for <\/span>Worldnetdaily<\/span><\/a><\/span> <\/span>, <\/span>exposed the fact that Mike
\nHuckabee “worked with some of the state’s most prominent and politically
\npowerful businesses to establish the [Mexican] consulate as a magnet for
\ndrawing illegal immigrants to the state to accept low-paying jobs.” Corsi
\nalso writes that “Robert Trevino, commissioner of Arkansas Rehabilitation
\nServices, told Worldnetdaily<\/a>
\nhe and Huckabee helped arrange state and private financial support to induce
\nMexico to establish the consulate as a business development ‘quid pro quo.’
\n“Trevino signed on July 7, 2006, a ‘Facilities Use Agreement’ with Mexican
\nconsular officials to rent state government office space for $1 a year on the
\nsecond floor of the Arkansas Rehabilitation Services building at 26 Corporate
\nHills in Little Rock.” <\/p>\n

<\/span>*<\/span><\/strong> Mike Huckabee ordered the
\ndestruction of a number of computer hard drives before leaving office. Hard
\ndrives in 83 computers and four servers were destroyed,<\/p>\n

Mike Huckabee has proven over and over again that the rule of law & the
\nConstitution are meaningless, and that he will say & do anything to promote
\nhimself\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.the republic be damned.<\/p>\n

<\/span>So <\/span>BYVMHCO. <\/span>You
\nhave been warned.<\/p>\n

 
\n<\/span>TO<\/a>
\nDAY’S RO<\/a>MP<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/u>With syrupy<\/em><\/strong> words and witty quips
\npreacher Mike covers his flips.
\nBelieve him if you will,
\nbut I won’t until,
\nI see some sutures crossing his lips.<\/em><\/strong><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
