Huckabee for President? Nah!

If there is a man who wants to become President so he can get rid of the Internal Revenue Service and enshrine a god in the U.S. Constitution, who would be the people to listen to him, adopt those views, and help him get elected? He certainly puts a benign face on revolutionary proposals. He would starve this nation for want of liberty and revenue. That ultra-conservative, radical segment of our body politic, so-called evangelicals—militant, crudsading zealots—knows not what they do. I call them the American Taliban who would do here what was done in Afghanistan. We all saw the chopping blocks, the merciless whippings, the subjugation of the female gendered hidden in their black costumes. Who knows what other un-American crap they would foist off onto this society if they ever had the upper hand. However, I feel safe in saying, there is no chance at all that they will ever achieve their ends in the U.S.

Well, …… ?

So many every election vote against their own best interests because they are like the guy interviewed on David Broncaccio’s program, suffering with his eviction notice and voting Republican. (Do you understand the connection between those two? You should.)

McCain should be tarred with the same brush. He said that liberty was bestowed on us by our creator, not by government. That is an affront to liberal thinkers. That is a signal that he, too, would enshrine a god in the U.S. Constitution. I respect McCain for his service to this country. Much of his appeal is on that basis, war hero. But he has all the policies of the politically bankrupt Bush crowd.

On the other hand,  to be fair, I am sure he did not say we would be in Iraq for a hundred years, but only see Iraq as a work in progress and be a concern for a hundred years. He was misunderstood and the words have been twisted for political points scored. Nevertheless, he should not be elected because he is same-old, same-old. (And I am not referring to an ageism issue, although there is that consideration.).
