I'm very tired of hearing people who are unwilling to change the constitution, but seem more than willing to change the holy word of God as it relates to the definition of marriage."So saith Gov. Mike Huckabee at the convention of Christian conservatives. Perhaps someone should point out to Mr. Huckabee that the United States Constitution is not a religious manifesto and that neither "God" nor the "definition of marriage" is in the Constitution in the first place. Second, the definition of marriage has been changing throughout history, as most recently as forty years ago when the Supreme Court overturned bans on interracial marriage. If Mr. Huckabee truly wishes to return us to the biblical model of marriage, he'd better be ready to accept polygamy and women being sold off by their fathers to the highest bidder.
Mr. Huckabee may come off as folksy and charming, but under that veneer is just another right-wing wacko with some truly medieval ideas, who also compares abortion to the Holocaust and laments the loss of 35 million "lives" because of their contribution to the tax base. Truly another compassionate conservative.
