Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee wants to turn the United States back over to God and Jesus.
Huckabee actually said this in a just released 60 second commercial for Lou Engle's "The Call."
In the spot Huckabee says, "Fast and pray and turn this nation back to God, as Jesus is our only hope." He goes on to tell everyone to go to Sacramento and fast and pray for the sanctity of marriage over Labor Day Weekend.
Governor Huckabee should know that the Constitution is very clear about the separation of Church and State.
Take a look at the commercial; it's unbelievable: Click Here
The event titled, "What Can Wash away our Sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus" is put on by controversial Pastor Lou Engle. There is a slick web site: Click Here

Two months ago, Pastor Engle again traveled to Uganda, where an Anti-Homosexuality bill is being considered. It calls for life in prison or death for gays and lesbians.
Does the current front-runner in the Iowa Caucus polls for 2012 agree with Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill calling for the death penalty for gays and lesbians?
Mike Huckabee should not continue to gay bash
It was just a couple of months ago that Governor Huckabee compared gay marriage to incest, drug abuse and polygamy. He went on to say that gay and lesbian couples should not be allowed to parent, because kids aren't puppies. I wrote a strong response to those hateful remarks for the Huffington Post: Click Here
Mike Huckabee's continued cruel statements about LGBT Americans are insensitive and dumb. He owes all fair-minded Americans an apology.

for a fundamentalist Chrsitian, no.
For a normal person... um....yes.
That should answer your 'nuts' question.
Yes, he is nuts.
Gay-bashing is de rigueur for right-wing Christian fundamentalists and evangelicals, which stems, I believe, from their fear and loathing of sexuality. Certainly they favor violence over sex, much as they favor fear over hope, intolerance over acceptance, exclusion over inclusion, paranoia over trust, and "us" over "them."
Huckabee's snotty remark comparing my kids to puppies --- poop on HIM! There are days that it might have been easier to raise puppies (actually, I prefer cats). But then my kids do something that make me proukd of them or something kind --- one of my sons came over this weekend and cooked a meal, just for me, because for some reason he thought I deserved it --- and I well up with tears of gratitude that I blessed with the opportunity to be a parent.
Huckabee is not crazy. He's just a basically mean-spirited politician, catering to a constituency of like-minded people. He has ambitions for higher office. In response to that, I would like to offer, for consideration, some dialogue from the 1939 civil war film epic "Gone with the Wind":
Scarlett (Vivien Leigh): Fiddle-dee-dee! Ashley told me he likes to see a girl with a healthy appetite!
Mammy (Hattie MCDaniel): What gentlemen says and what they thinks is two diffrent things, and I ain't noticed Mr. Ashley askin' for to marry you
Let's paraphrase that a bit:
Mike Huckabee: Fiddle-dee-dee! The voters told me they like to see a candidate who doesn't support gay rights!
Mammy: What the voters says and what they thinks are two different things, and I ain't noticed no one electin' you president.
Thanks for the kind words and for supporting poop on Mike Huckabee. (Sounds sort of like a Facebook website.)
Let's repeal the 20th amendment, because chicks need to be quiet (1 Timothy 2:12).
Let's repeal the 13th amendment, because slavery is A-OK (Ephesians 6:5-6).
Amen.
We need to keep calling them out. They are hypocrites of the first magnitude.
