Sorry Huckabee, the cat's out of the bag and no amount of sucking up would've stopped me from sending this message. I put it to you that YOU and the religious right are what's wrong with the Republican party. Our fore-fathers did not suffer through a harrowing journey across the Atlantic and a war with England just so tyranny and religious law can be brought back 200 years later. Although many of them were Christian, some were not, and they rejoiced in the freedom to believe whatever they wanted to believe without persecution. I care not if you want to spread the word of God from a pulpit, a soap box, a book, a magazine, a newspaper, a radio or a TV show. Don't you feel proud, don't you feel blessed to live in a country where you can where your faith on your sleeve and not only receive no punishment for it, but you are protected by those who violently oppose your views? In some countries, based on religious law, it is perfectly acceptable to kill a family member for dishonoring the family. Do we want to become so wrapped up in religion and morality that basic human rights no longer apply? I do not disagree that morality and spirituality are lofty goals, but governments, which are meant to protect the rights of the people, are not the proper vehicles to reach those goals. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are rights given to us by God. The #1 infringer of these rights though, is government.
You have a very poor understanding of colonial America. Not that I care, the natives lost, whatever, but don't try to sugarcoat it like that. Lying, or re-telling lies told to you, is just bad karma.
