Ignorance is Bliss
Whatever would we do without people from Arkansas running for President? We’d just be stuck making fun of those damn yankees and those bi-coastal pointy-headed liberals.
While we enjoy the rough and tumble of hard-fought campaigns, fisticuffs, and maybe even an out and out brawl, there comes a point at which your mouth seriously overloads your a$$ and you cross that line.
Arkansas’ Goobernor Mike Huckabee, a fifth-tier presidential candidate if there ever was one, is leaving no stone unthrown in his scramble for the White House. His current target? Fellow Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, who in Huckabee’s reckoning, is the next best thing to a devil worshipper. In addition to being from Bill & Hillary’s home state, Huckabee’s an ordained Baptist minister. Therefore, he surely knows a thing or two about organized religion.
Too bad he stops at just knowing a thing or two.
Huckabee’s hate rant against Romney’s religion leaves little doubt in our minds about the narrowness of his. Just what we need, a wannabe kkklansman on the red ticket next November. And Huckkkabee just might get there, judging from the silence from our side of the aisle.
Huckkkabee’s an absolute disgrace to his party, to his church, and to his State - even if it is Arkansas.
Those who remain silent are just as disgraceful as Huckkkabee. And deserving of the same censure. A pointy head covered by a set of 500 thread count sheets is still a pointy head.

Your a little heavy handed, but by and large you are right.
Huckabee has embarrassed himself, and all those that have endorsed and supported him.
It is becoming quite clear that evangelicals and the country would be better served with Mike back preaching as the pastor of a church with a national following. That leaves someone that actually finished law school in the White House.
However you can’t discount tribalism, and the pull to have someone from your trible in a high profile leadership position is clearly more important to many evangelicals than whether or not that person is the best choice.
Mike should take the next eight years to learns about people outside his tribe, so he can soften his biased views toward non-Southern Baptists. Best of luck to you in 2016 Mike.
