7. Huckabee's religious world view seems to be
a punishment-based one.

His analogy is an "I got mine, too bad about yours" construct. And houses aren't people. There are many rooms in the Father's mansion and far too many religious crackpots in them.

"To the least of these, so then, unto me," according to What's-His-Name.

The least perceptive human being who ever lived understands that a house can be rebuilt and that the people who live in it are what's worth saving.

Worth saving and worth providing health care to whether they have an existing condition or not.

Unfortunately for the United States of America, Huckabee is ramping up his profile this last month and may be more seriously entertaining a run for the presidency. On one hand, the muddier the GOP field the more slips, slides, and wipe-outs. On the other, it does mean that he has a chance to win the nomination.

I'd prefer it if he took a cushy post at FOX News and stayed out of the race for the Oval Office as a compromise to my actual wish, which is that he be abducted by dog aliens and carried off to an extremely remote corner of a faraway galaxy, never to be heard from again.
