Did Huck really say he'd abolish the Constitution in favor of Bible??

[Rhys]

I just read a comment online that said "Did Mike Hckabee say the other day that we need to scrap the Constitution and replace it so that it complies with teh Bible? - Yes, he did."

Is that true?

"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "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."

Regardless, the guy is pandering!!! I've said this before and I'll say this again, he's affiliated with the CFR, and Richard Haass is his advisor. He says one thing but would not pursue what he says if he was in office. Talks the talk, but won't walk the walk.

The crazed Huckabee has been in Michigan for the primary, and he gave a campaign speech in a community just north of Detroit. He told Michigan voters he wants to amend the Constitution for God's laws. According to HuckAmendAbee, he needs to spearhead amendments to the Constitution to meet God's standards, and of course God's standards include promoting Christian values and the prevention of gay marriages. He is going to save us all via oppressive decrees. I'm sure we'd all be on the fundamentalist hit list, at one time or another, under HuckAmendAbee Law.

His political advisors actually told local TV reporters that perhaps "he was getting caught up in the moment and not phrasing things quite right." Uh huh.

Changing the constitution to fit 'the word of the living god' would certainly violate our tradition of separation of church and state.

Well, the Constitution can be amended, so if Huck can get a majority of the States and Sheeple to amend it to a bibical standard then we will have to adore and defend it. I don't think it is likely though.

fuck the bible

I will gladly give up my citizenship if that ever happens.

I'm sure that is the first amendment he would amend.

I can't stand Christians who make Christianity look bad. I'm a Christian, but I don't go around shoving it down people's throats. I prefer my life and the way I live it to be my testimony. What Huckabee is doing is disgusting and unethical. I, for one, don't think God would be at all pleased with is pandering and outright lying.

Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Canada.

 

[Rhys]

New Zealand is nice. They're sorta commie, but that's fine cause there's only 4 million of them.

Canada's out cause of the NAU.

 

[Jae0]

Hmm Sweden would be pretty sweet.

Canada is great !!

Move to Montreal, it's better than Europe.. And 90% of the people speak english.. Gorgeous looking people too.. Bruce Willis bought a house here after filming the movie "the whole 9 yards" in Montreal.. And he spends alot of time in the summer in MTL because it's so electric and fun with all the activities.. And no one bothers him here... Heck, there are tons of stars who come here because it's awesome and celebrities aren't bothered like they would be in the states.. Montreal is flooded with Americans in summer (especially from Boston) and they can't stop saying how much they love Montreal

Willis said Montreal is the crown jewel of North America, and he is right! PM me as I have over 700 Montreal pictures like these ones showing everything from the old port of Montreal to the streetlife etc

Willis means nothing to me. Now, if someone like Tom Higgenson or Andrew Macfayden (sp?) live there, i'm SOLD.
