\nU.S. Rep. Ron Paul<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Far be it from me to defy the force that is Chuck Norris. After
\nall, it is a recognized fact that we are not living in a democracy, but
\nrather a Chucktatorship. It is less well-known, however, that Chuck
\nNorris does not actually write his columns here at WND, they simply
\nassemble themselves out of fear.\n<\/p>\n

While it is good to see that the living legend has not fallen
\nfor the Hillary-lite candidates offered by the Republican Party elite,
\nI fear that in rejecting the Tennessee Toad as well as the
\nmedia-approved triumvirate of Romney, Giuliani and McCain, he has
\nbought into the charade of a second-rate Arkansas charlatan.\n<\/p>\n

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

Moreover, like most of the other candidates, Huckabee is
\nunelectable because he basically mimics Hillary’s position on the two
\nprimary issues of the election cycle. He is pro-occupation,
\npro-imperial and pro-delusional, being very hawkish on dealing with the
\nimaginary threat posed by Iran, while at the same time being dovish on
\nthe matter of the actual invasion of the country by tens of millions of
\nforeign nationals. One has to wonder if Huckabee would change his mind
\nwere Iranians physically to invade the country armed only with infants
\ninstead of pursuing a weapons technology in the obvious interest of
\navoiding a third American-sponsored overthrow of their government in
\nthe last 50 years. <\/p>\n

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