Mike Huckabee Tells Hispanic Evangelicals U.S. Is Losing Its Way

Source: The Wall Street Journal

Mike Huckabee, a likely presidential candidate, made an impassioned appeal to Hispanic evangelicals Wednesday with promises to protect life and religious liberty, telling them that he may not speak the same language but he shares the same faith.

“I do not come to you tonight with the ability to speak Spanish,” Mr. Huckabee, a Republican and former Arkansas governor, said during an appearance at the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. “But I do speak a common language. I speak Jesus.”

Mr. Huckabee, who is expected to announce his bid for the Republican presidential nomination next week, told the group that the U.S. is losing its way and letting go of foundational values that were taken from scripture.

As he reached out to Hispanics, a voting bloc that GOP candidates have struggled to connect with, Mr. Huckabee cast himself as an Arkansas everyman who grew up having more in common with the kitchen staff than those seated at the head table.

The Bible changed over time due to translation 'drift' if not actually additions, deletions.

More importantly, Jesus appointed Peter to 'manage' the church. Essentially giving man the clerical duties of running the operation. Man and his outlook and needs change over time.

God gave us the 'keys' and the control. Things have changed significantly since the first century. Pretty sure you, never-will-be-president Huckabee, would have ended up staked and rotting in the sun, if not for Man's evolution.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.

Prepared to be humbled motherfucker.

8. Huckabee on same-sex marriage (from the article):

As the Supreme Court wrestles this week with the question of same-sex marriage, Mr. Huckabee said he respects the court but that it can’t “change what God created.”

“It is not the supreme being,” he told an enthusiastic crowd that repeatedly interrupted his remarks with applause. “It cannot overrule God.”


What's the worst, the fact that he doesn’t give damn about the authority of the Supreme Court, or that he thinks same-sex marriage is against God’s laws?

Marriages occurred thousands of years before Huckabee's god was created, but the Supreme Court can't "change what God created"?
