Showing Original Post only (View all)Mike Huckabee Plans To Run For President To Fight The 'Secular Theocracy' [View all]
Source: Right Wing Watch-1 hour ago
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee was the guest this morning on Reverend James Robison's "Life Today" television program, and declared that he is thinking about running for president in order to fight what Robison called the "secular theocracy" that is destroying Christian liberty in America. "We've divorced ourselves from an understanding that we cannot survive as a republic if we do not become once again a God-centered nation that understands that our laws do not come from man, they come from God," he said. "It is the natural law of God."
After insisting that he is not intending to create his own theocracy, Robison piped up to declare that "we have a theocracy right now; it is a secular theocracy" and Huckabee readily agreed. "That's it!" Huckabee said. "It is a humanistic, secular, atheistic, and even antagonistic toward Christian faith, and that's what we need to understand. Our basic fundamental rights are being robbed from us, taken from us piece by piece."
Later, Huckabee asked for the audience to pray that God's hand will be upon as he decides whether to run for president.
"The only thing worse than not being elected president would be to be elected president without God's blessing," he said. "I can't think of a worse place in the world to be than in the Oval Office without God's hand upon you. I'd rather not get near the place."

In other words, Huckabee will fight nothing, since those 2 words cancel out each other.
