Huckabee: "Separation of Church and State? Not If I'm Elected"

Even though everyone's already covered this, it's worth repeating: HUCK, THE CONSTITUTION AND 'GOD'S STANDARDS'
"[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it's a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that's what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards," Huckabee said, referring to the need for a constitutional human life amendment and an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
If, by some incredible collection of coincidences and amazing happenings, this man ends up as our President, our country is fucked. There's no kind way of putting this.

It's bad enough that we've had a pseudo-President for the last seven years who thinks God might be behind all his decisions. Now we've got a candidate who thinks that he needs to change this country to conform to the standards of his Magic Sky Daddy? Thanks but no thanks, mate, I'd like to keep our country from becoming a theocratic nightmare.

What's really frightening is that I'm only imaging this at its least-frightening level, where he just tries to nudge the laws to take away some rights for gay people and women. I'm not even imagining the worst-case scenario, where he actually does turn the country into a theocracy, complete with a rollback of people's First Amendment rights and stoning for things like being gay. I don't think it'd get that bad, but I'm somewhat optomistic about my country.

Huckleberry has to go. He cannot be allowed anywhere near the White House. The man is a religious terrorist and should be treated as such.
