Forget terrorists. Mike Huckabee has identified a threat right here at home that would result in the downfall of our whole civilization.

GQ: Is the strategy shifting because social conservatives are losing on those core issues? Ten years ago, it would have been unimaginable to have gay marriage even in liberal Massachusetts. Now it's there.

Huckabee: I don't think the issue's about being against gay marriage. It's about being for traditional marriage and articulating the reason that's important. You have to have a basic family structure. There's never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived. So there is a sense in which, you know, it's one thing to say if people want to live a different way, that's their business. But when you want to redefine what family means or what marriage means, then that's an issue that should require some serious and significant debate in the public square.

Christian bullshit. That's all this is about.

Throughout history, Asian cultures willingly engaged in All types of sexual relationships (including homosexual relationships) as a way of achieving oneness with the universe...their civilizations are doing well and have been for THOUSANDS of years. This is Christian bullshit. Nothing else. Ban all religion. These people are crazy.

How would Gay marriage end civilization? I can envision guys like the 'Huckster' [Huckabee] ending civilization, but how gay marriage will end civilization...this is just beyond me.

OK...are proponents of gay marriage calling for a ban on straight marriage?????

If that is not the case his comments make absloutely no sense...people should have the opriton to marry if they choose..that is where the "freedom" part of it comes into it.

Is anyoe against traditonal marriage? Seems like that instituion has been on shaky grounds for quite some time; to blame gays for this is a little disingenuous and..ehrmm, retarded.

Marriage is a legal construct; that's all.

For this remark alone he would be "dead" in any European election. Not because the question would be: is he right or wrong, but rather: how can anybody speak such bullshit and wants to be taken seriously afterwards.

Perhaps it's time the MSM put a perspective on what the Iowa CockKiss results actually mean. For months they've been significantly at odds with the national polls, so maybe, JUST MAYBE, the psychotic spewings of Huckabee won't find the same traction with the rest of the (ostensibly) sentient electorate.

I'm sure that Huckabee's fears are sincere. I believe that he truly believes that Gay marriage would be the end of civilization. Two questions come to mind as a followup (something rarely done these days) - are you afraid of Gay Marriage because you think you are missing out on something - and second, should a person so wracked with an irrational fear be allowed to "lead the free world" (not that we do anymore after Bush).

Looking at this key sentence-There's never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived. It begs the question are the Mormans a civilization? They did indeed rewrite what marriage and family means.

Sounds like Huckabee is resorting to the tried-and-true fear mongering of his Bible thumping base since his campaign is almost out of money.

Your 15 minutes expire after IA, Governor. Go back to Hope and indulge your favorite sin, gluttony.
