Huckabee: ‘amend the Constitution’ to ‘God’s standards.’
At a campaign stop yesterday, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee recommended — to a cheering audience — that the Constitution be “changed” to fit “God’s standards”:
I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. 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 is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.
Watch it:
Rawstory notes that in response, MSNBC’s “Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn’t immediately find much to say beyond calling it ‘interesting.’”

January 15th, 2008 at 1:38 pmI’m thinking of voting for Chuckleberry in the primaries. I want to see him representing the Republican party to the entire country. That should put the nail in the party coffin.

January 15th, 2008 at 1:39 pmI think he’s the perfect Republican candidate for President!
:-)
January 15th, 2008 at 1:39 pmIt’s a short step from ignoring the Constitution (like the current administration) to changing it (perhaps with a signing statement, President Huckabee?).
Yet another reason that Mike Huckabee is unelectable.

January 15th, 2008 at 1:40 pmWe can all agree that keeping Government (our tax $$$$) out of our personal lives is a principle foundation of our Democracy.

January 15th, 2008 at 1:42 pmThis guy is so out of touch it’s beyond words.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:42 pmHuckabee’s precisely why our founding fathers found it critical to maintain a separation between church and state - government and religion. The reichwing fanatic/zealots led by this guy is attempting to overthrow the basic premise upon which this country was founded.
It could be called “treason” if you ask me. Maybe some civil rights group needs to bring treasonous charges against Mike Huckabee??
January 15th, 2008 at 1:43 pm#12 Sick and twisted would be two words which come rapidly to mind.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:44 pmJust what we need. Another religious evangelical nutjob in the White House who wants to undo our Constitution and dictate and enforce his own religious beliefs on all American citizens of every religion and belief set no matter how much they might disagree and differ with his. Our founding fathers experienced religious persecution first-hand. They knew and understood why religion and a government that represents ALL the people cannot force religious beliefs on a democratic society of mulitiple and differing cultures, teachings, beliefs and traditions. Someone would always be left out. Someone would always be oppressed. Someone would always fight for their right to worship as they choose to. And somone would be persecuted for believing differently than their neighbors. It would be a recipe for another holy war! This guy is a snake oil saleman trying to get elected, and the religious nutjobs of our society are his dupes and enablers. Their is nothing Christian about exploiting religion for personal gain. That’s precisely what Mr. Huckabee is attempting to do, and he should be loudly and repeatedly condemned for his efforts.

January 15th, 2008 at 1:44 pmIt could be translated that Mike Huckabee’s campaign platform is “anti-constitutional” and therefore constitutes treason.

“how we treat each other and how we treat the family.”?
time to put the clamps on this one…
January 15th, 2008 at 1:46 pmhe is dangerous.
Huckabee doesn’t know what the acronym NIE stands for - then he shows how little he knows about geography in public - and now this. What qualifications DOES this buffoon have for public office anyway? I’m not sure he’s graduated from the eighth grade! Obviously, he’s a brainwashed buffoon but that’s about all I can see when scrutinizing this man’s qualifications for office.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:46 pmGee, maybe the Government could fund reincarnation research, “crossing over” techniques, or the positive effects of Snake Handlers on society while they’re at it?

January 15th, 2008 at 1:48 pmthis is what the republican establishment has been waiting - the huckster to self-destruct with his religious mumbo-jumbo. Huckabee transitioning to Huckabye.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:48 pm.
When The Chimp In Chief signaled our entry into the “jihad” (he actually called it a “crusade” (sick!), it became critical for this country to begin beating the christofascist drum in order to compete.
All this is is a ridiculous religious pissing contest.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:49 pmWhen are the trolls going to weigh in here and pretend Huckleberry doesn’t represent “real” conservatives?
January 15th, 2008 at 1:49 pmHuckabee’s new moniker should be “witch doctor” with all of the mumbo jumpo he’s spewing. He’s becoming a total joke.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:50 pmI would vote for Huck-a-buck in the primaries in a New York minute and I urge everyone here to do the same. Tell your friends, family, anyone who will listen that God has chosen Huck-a-buck to be the next President of the USA!

Seriously, we need to be careful with this nutjob. Huckster will win BIG with the evangelical voters….just like herr dubyah did. He could potentially bring out the radical right, like herr dubyah did in 2004. Huckster is dangerous and dangerous to America. Romney is our best bet. The evangelical/radical right voters will stay home in masses if Romney is their nominee.

If Huckleberry Hound were to become elected, it would have to be via hacked voting machines like Herr Bush. If this were to happen again, the people would overthrow this criminal government.

We need a new term for such idiocy.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:54 pmVeritas, man I hope you are right. I have been here before though, just about four years ago. I was so thoroughly disgusted by Boy George’s first four years I didn’t think there was a chance in hell that we wouldn’t throw him out of the WH. My fellow Americans (with a little Diebold help) left me feeling like a stranger in a strange land.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:54 pmHUCKABEE, HUCKABEE
Since the MSM and the corporatists have already decided we’re going to get Hillary as our candidate even if they have to use Diebold to get her we might as well nominate the only Republican we know she can beat.

ok, he’s officially off his nut and unelectable… some End Timers will vote for him, but that’s about it…
January 15th, 2008 at 1:55 pmHasn’t he broken some kind of law regarding the seperation of church and state by making such a statement? He is running for president….
January 15th, 2008 at 1:56 pmThe opti scans were the intended “panacea” due to the overt ease of hackability in the DRE’s (touch screen machines). If Diebold can make secure ATM’s for all these years, a secure voting machine should be a foregone conclusion. The fact is that Diebold INTENTIONALLY created a known vulnerability within their machinery and since it is a GOP organization, voila! The GOP controls every election! And, as we’ve come to realize, the GOP’s mantra of “any means to justify the end”, you KNOW they’re right in there hacking away…..and will be in the elections.
Hand counted paper ballot with police oversight is the only way to have a fair election in this country. If we permit ourselves to remain deluded, Diebold and the GOP will select our next white house occupants for us.

You are the same people who thought Bush couldn’t get reelected…

January 15th, 2008 at 2:00 pmPeter C: And Kucinich’s demand for a recount in New Hampshire is something which MUST occur right now to stop the tampering by the GOP. Kucinich knows the history of LHS Associates (Sylvestro’s organization) who hold the chain of custody of 81% of voting machines in New Hampshire and which blackbox voting purchased and had hacked in 10 minutes…
This election is “do or die” for the GOP and it’s critical for them to control who inhabits the white house. It will either be more shoving shit under the rug like the criminal congress which preceeded this one or prison time for many politicians, including the inhabitants of the WH.

January 15th, 2008 at 2:02 pmVeritas, he’s not advocating treason or anything of the sort. He specifically calls for amending the Constitution, to change it from a secular document, to a document for Christian law.
January 15th, 2008 at 2:02 pmThere is no lawbreaking.
He’s still a sack of you-know-what for it. And should be run out of town, as he’d insist a man who looks upon his wife during the days of her period be run out of town.
All I can say is…”WTH” = What the Huck?
January 15th, 2008 at 2:03 pmWhich God is the “Living God” he wants to change to? The Presbyterian, the Lutheran, or the Methodist believe in the Living God.
This country was built on people trying to get away from a King who was trying to change the religion to his beliefs….
Picking one is excluding others… Just read the different Bibles…
King James is different than the NIV. Different translations from different languages… Do we believe in the German translation or the Latin translation?
Do we go with the direct translation from the Hebrew? Each translation says something different…
Just like each comment here has a different translation in what old Huck says so goes the translation of a holy word… and a religious belief…
January 15th, 2008 at 2:04 pmVeritas, he’s not advocating treason or anything of the sort.

I’m sorry but I consider subverting the original intent of the constitution and bill of rights to be treason…….

January 15th, 2008 at 2:10 pmMakes me wonder why Huckabee would want this Constitution amended to meet God’s standard?
Could you imagine: “Thou shalt treat others as you would have them treat you!”
The Republican’s would lose their minds! Again! ;-)

January 15th, 2008 at 2:14 pmI agree with others. I want us to run against Huck. Yes, he will energize the religious right wing base. So what? We want to have the rest of the Republican party to see just how fanatical and right wing they are. We want the corporatists to see just where the Republican party will be. Remember, Huck does have one saving grace, he does believe in taking it to the rich. A real problem for the corporate and wealthy branch of the party.
Just think of the campaign ads featuring the snipets of this speech. Just think of the ground to be gained by comparing this brand of Republicanism with Islam. For once, a picture showing a radical islamist next to a Republican candidate would make sense.
January 15th, 2008 at 2:16 pmI wish Huckabee had been more specific about “God’s standards” — which ones would these be?
The standards laid out in Leviticus, where rules were given regarding everything from diet to dress to conduct? That’s going to hurt the hog industry here in NC. The shrimping business down on the Gulf Coast ain’t gonna do well, either.
Or does Huckabee want to go with the standards Jesus laid out in his Sermon on the Mount — you know, the “turn your other cheek” bit? I could probably go for that — it would certainly cut down on the stupid wars we have a talent for getting into. Although big business might have some difficulty with Jesus’ position on materialism.
On a more serious note — does the Huckster realize how obvious his pandering is? His chances of getting the constitution changed in this manner are nil. He might as well say that we need to build a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean. But none of this matters when it comes to “say anything, do anything for votes.”

The seriousness of the sin of adultery can be seen in several ways. Under the law of Moses the penalty was death by stoning. (Deuteronomy 22:21 ff, John 8:4,5).
So, is Huckster suggesting we should stone the adulterers Rudy, Newt, Haggard, O’Reilly, Bob Dole, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Packwood, etc., etc.,

January 15th, 2008 at 2:30 pmJesus stated that “love God” and “love your neighbor as yourself” were the foundation of “all the laws and the prophets”. So, Huck, how would a US government create secular laws to match this and how, exactly, would officials be able to judge whether or not someone was actually following the law by loving?
Biblical standards are for believing individuals, not the state. They are for God to judge, not the state.
January 15th, 2008 at 2:30 pmDaryll,
The “no religious test” clause of the United States Constitution is found in Article VI, section 3, and states that:
“…no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
Why would the lord allow such a thing? Get back in your church an leave the politics to the adults.

Are you mad because President-Elect Huckabee will instill prayer back into our schools. Are you mad because he will allow the Ten Commandments to sit in Courthouses? Are you mad because he is going to ban gay marriage and abortions? Well if you are angry, either be silent or prepare to move from America because God’s will shall prevail.

January 15th, 2008 at 2:33 pmThe seriousness of the sin of adultery can be seen in several ways. Under the law of Moses the penalty was death by stoning. (Deuteronomy 22:21 ff, John 8:4,5).

The “no religious test†clause of the United States Constitution is found in Article VI, section 3, and states that:
“…no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.â€
Why would the lord allow such a thing? Get back in your church an leave the politics to the adults.

Hey, DARYLL!
Ahem. Quoted from an inspirational poster.
“Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. Makes perfect sense…”
January 15th, 2008 at 2:40 pmDaryll, are you mad?
Do you really want teachers to lead prayer in public school? Many of your Republican friends don’t event trust them to teach.
Exactly why should the Ten Commandments be in courthouses? Would you advocate “honoring the Sabbath” as public policy? What would be the penalty for “using the name of the Lord in vain” or not making Yahweh your Lord?
Gays who love each other don’t seem to be violating the “love your neighbor as yourself” so why should gay marriage be outlawed.
As for “being silent or moving from America” - isn’t that rather like acting as if YOU are God. Try making me do either and perhaps the “God is dead” phrase would be correct.
January 15th, 2008 at 2:40 pmJesus stated that “love God†and “love your neighbor as yourself†were the foundation of “all the laws and the prophetsâ€. So, Huck, how would a US government create secular laws to match this and how, exactly, would officials be able to judge whether or not someone was actually following the law by loving?
Biblical standards are for believing individuals, not the state. They are for God to judge, not the state.

You support capital punishment for adultery? Rape? Apostasy (turning against your faith)? Homosexuality? Piracy of any kind? These are all capital offenses in countries practicing strict sharia law.
Even if they were under mass hypnosis, it’s doubtful that Americans would allow the constitution to be changed to allow for this. If this way of life is important to you, it would be easier for you to move to a country with these values.

So Daryll advocates following only parts of the Bible as well. He’s got some ’splainin’ to do to God, this one does.
January 15th, 2008 at 2:51 pmAccording to the Talmud, Daryll, Jesus was the son of Pandera and is not, according to that document, a Messiah.
January 15th, 2008 at 2:53 pmI hope Daryll gets his wish. God bless Huckabee and may he get the repube nomination…. Please!
January 15th, 2008 at 2:54 pmBrother Daryll,
Some advice please, I have been using my crucifix to flip steaks on the grill because the skinny legs dissipate the heat before it burns my hands as you suggested. Thanks for that tip! But recently I am having a hard time getting the crown of thorns clean in the dishwasher.
You said you use yours as a buttplug on occasion, which I imagine leaves a pretty nasty residue as well.
What do you use to get the shit off your Christ?
January 15th, 2008 at 2:54 pmFolks, you heard it here first. According to Daryll, adultery is a capital offense, meriting the death sentence. That means Rudy and Newt should be stoned.
January 15th, 2008 at 2:56 pmBut the reichwing nuts think that should only apply to Bill Clinton. IOKIYAR.
But just for the sake of argument, Daryll, I assume Jesus is your savior. His story is the New Testament which is largely but not entirely a repudiation of the Old Testament. Where in the New Testament does Jesus advocate the execution of anyone?
January 15th, 2008 at 2:57 pmi think daryll is a phony troll.

I can’t tell you what’s going up in the Man’s side of things, as they don’t let us meer Angels up into the Higher Heavens, but it’s Eli’s thought that the Boss is installing a special trap-door just for Daryll’s arrival. Oh, yeah, Khalid especially wants to meet old Daryll when he arrives at the pearly gates, what with Khalid being the Muslim Archangel of Faith. :)

January 15th, 2008 at 3:00 pmThe fun will be in watching the shooting match (God believes in the right to bear arms,of course) between American religious fanatics, as they fight for enactment of their respective version of “God’s Standards”.
I mean, will we live by “an eye for an eye”; or “turn the other cheek” and “love your enemy” and “do good to those who hurt you”? Will the state be stoning prostitutes, or designating someone “without sin” to cast the first stone? Are we gonna be cutting off hands and feet, and plucking out our eyes?
Yeah, this idea will get a lot of traction….
Huckabee might find his Baptists (the only true Christian faith, you know) outnumbered.

“Are you mad because President-Elect Huckabee will instill prayer back into our schools.”
– Nope, not mad. Not even worried. In the first place, prayer never LEFT schools — as long as there are tests, there will always be prayer in schools. If you are talking about prayer led by a teacher or other authority figure, there’s a little thing called the “establishment clause” in the first amendment that will prevent that. Huckabee would have to get that amendment changed, and so far, God hasn’t made that happen.
“Are you mad because he will allow the Ten Commandments to sit in Courthouses?”
– Not worried about this one, either. Same reason.
“Are you mad because he is going to ban gay marriage…”
– Wow, you are putting a lot of power in Huckabee. Even if he DOES get elected, he won’t be king or dictator, you know. As far as “banning” gay marriage, did you know that it’s still not recognized in most of this country? Why does it worry you so? Oh, you’re afraid it MIGHT become legal in more places. Well, a constitutional amendment will make it so that no state can recognize a gay union. A majority of Americans are against a constitutional amendment for this, so good luck.
“…and abortions?”
– Ditto above. No president has been able to get Roe v. Wade overturned yet. That would be political suicide — like reinstating the draft.
“Well if you are angry, either be silent or prepare to move from America because God’s will shall prevail.”
– You are suggesting that angry Americans be silent? Wow — you really DO hate the first amendment, don’t you? As far as moving from America — I have no plans to do that. I see God’s will prevailing here in that the constitution guarantees I can worship as I choose. A luxury I wouldn’t get in some other countries.
No — Huckabee doesn’t have me worried at all. He is kind of amusing, though. Just as you keep me entertained.
