Sweet Jesus, Huckabee Again!

Did I not warn y’all?
Did I not TELL YOU that Mike Huckabee is the most dangerous man to progressives and Democrats?
Here it is, 3 weeks since my last blog. Now, Huckabee has disarmed his closest competitors in the Republican horse race by doing the Jimmy Stewart thing. He put on a sweater and sat in front of a Christmas tree and turned on that famous Huckabee charm in a Christmas video.
He did it IN THE MIDST of attack ads by Mitt Romney! And he did not fire back! He just told us all that the reason for the season is the birth of Christ. He turned the other cheek to his enemies. He came across CHRISTLIKE!
Ohhh, my friends, he is not just winning the hearts and minds of evangelicals.
He is winning the hearts and minds of every GOP voter who is already sick and tired of the campaign nattering.
He is going to win the whole ball of string, the Republican nomination in 2008, on my word of honor.
Ron Paul was actually the first to come out with a holiday ad, but no one seemed to care because Ron was not under attack. Good for you, Ron. It’s a nice friendly ad.
By contrast Barack Obama’s holiday ad is stiff and forced-sounding. He, too, is posed in a Christmas-y setting with his family. But when he speaks his lines, to my ear he sounds like he’s still stumping.
Back to Mike Huckabee for one more second: Do not for a moment think that this man, who denies evolution and is a rock-ribbed Baptist, will truly honor separation of church and state if elected.
So if you care about those sorts of things, make it your life’s work in 2008 to see that this man does not sit in the Oval Office.

Right you are. The very thought that those poor suffering and unsure souls, waving their arms and gabbling incoherently, will have their leader in the White House is really frightening! Good Lord, what ever happened to the Enlightenment? Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington — Deists all. Ah, how they would be shocked at the creeping and sick Old Testament “prophetic” money-grabbing Preachers ranting in their gaudy Mega-churches! Can anything be done? Probably not. This kind of “charismatic” crap feeds upon itself. The induced fear of going to a fiery Hell and not having a “rapture” (which appears to be something akin an orgasm) will surely serve to draw ever more into the “flock” — and there to be herded and sheared. Well, time to call upon the atheists for help — even if we are not atheistic — at least they might hold back the baptismal flood. Oh well, why be so pessimistic? Perhaps they will tire of it all. Let’s pray for that.

This weekend (Dec. 22) the New York Times published a long backgrounder on Huckabee’s gubernatorial years. One of the hallmarks of his tenure was a harsh reaction to any criticism of his decisions, and a tendency to bristle and shut out those he saw as critical. Very Nixonian, in that regard. It’s worth a half hour of your time, I think, which is what it took me to read it through.
