The United States Constitution never uses the word "God" or makes mention of any religion, drawing its sole authority from "We the People." However, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks it's time to put an end to that.
...
Because Jesus rode up on his dinosaur and gave him the word:
...
"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "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 -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."
...
We've had seven years with a moron in the White House. Do we really want to replace him with this nut? Not that McCain or The Mittster are any better. McCain left the best part of himself (his honor) in Hanoi and Mitt never took a stand he couldn't weasel out of (he never knew the meaning of the word 'honor'), but Huck really believes his own bullshit.
And an addendum, Ted has a really good post up about how religion is getting in the way of democracy:
...
Can't we just let them all do a one-time, 30-second public display of how much they love and are devoted to their God and be done with it? Once that spectacle was over we could move on to the actual issues that face the human race. Things like nuclear proliferation, global warming, the mortgage crisis, the rapidly approaching feudal state that's being created by the perfect storm of decimating the social safety net while cutting the taxes of the rich.
...
I don't give a shit about your religion unless, like Huck, your goal is to make it the State Religion. I also have a problem with people, like Huck, who are obviously batshit crazy having the ability to 'push the button'.
