"The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended
to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of
England, not to drive religion out of public life."

Followed by:

"The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously
tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that
would eclipse the state in importance."


I love it!

And people voted for this nutjob?

TEXANS voted for him and now people are throwing money at him without really looking at what it is he believes. He's against the war in Iraq. Vote for him! Yeah, well, wait a minute. What else is he for and against?

When I watched bits and pieces of the Republican debate, I didn't know a
darn thing about Mike Huckabee. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't even
know who he was. And I liked him! For one thing, he looked like Kevin
Spacey. Then he said those cool things about abolishing the IRS and
quipped about Jesus never running for political office or some such in
answer to the what would Jesus do question.

Totally charming.

Then I read about him. A Baptist minister. Right wing Christian
conservative blah blah. Terrific. Now everybody hearts Huckabee because
he wants to abolish the IRS. What else is he for or against? You just
know what he thinks about Roe vs. Wade.

mikehuckabee.com: "Faith. Family. Freedom. Conservatives are choosing
Huckabee" sez Google. Ack again!
