The Patriot of the Year Is … Not Mike Huckabee
Oh come on, Mike, what the hell is wrong with you?
Mike Huckabee (R) suggested that young Americans planning to join the military should wait until President Barack Obama leaves office to do so because his administration has an “open hostility toward the Christian faith,” the Huffington Post reports.
Numero Uno: Mike doesn’t know diddle squat about the Christian faith.
Numero Two-o: Onward Christian Soldiers ain’t the national anthem.
Numero Lasto: You’d think that somebody – and yeah I’m talking to you, Mike – who gets to overrule God in determining someone else’s profession of faith could at least win the Republican nomination.
I have a new rule. Evangelicals have to quit calling themselves Christians. They aren’t.
Sharing so many of these!!
Good God almighty …
1i would suggest a corollary that they have to actually READ the Bible, all of it and not just their favorite bits, before deciding if they want to be Christians. But I think someone would have to drill out the concrete between their ears first so some new thoughts could fit inside.
“Open hostility towards the Christian faith” does not apply to people who don’t want your religion shoved in their faces and into their law codes, especially when it’s your warped view of your religion anyway. Example: stopping the punishment of Air Force cadets who choose not to attend “Christian” events at the academy is not religious oppression. Holding mandatory “Christian” events at the Air Force Academy IS religious oppression.
2By the way, Mike, what happened to all those people who told us loudly how “Christian” they are and said that “God told me to run for president”? Haven’t seen much of them lately.
3Huckawad has a better chance of being struck by lightning than he has of being elected dog catcher for Li’l Ricky Sanitorium.What a thoroughly disgusting POS!
4Hello Cleveland! Are you ready? The roster of GOP potential candidates reads like a pay-per-view event or Disney on hallucinogenics.

It’s a good thing Huckajesus was never in the military he would be sadly disappointed. As 99% of them have never seen the inside of a church.
6The only folks seeking to oppress Christians are – the Kristians and their racist fellow-travellers, the KK-Kristians. Consider the laws passed by the Kristians about feeding the poor:
“A San Antonio woman is planning to use the state’s “religious freedom” law to contest a citation she received for feeding homeless residents at a local park, the San Antonio Express-News reported.” (Source: Raw Story, Texas woman invokes ‘religious freedom’ argument to fight $2000 fine for feeding the homeless)
7Maybe she should feed her tormentors, too? “If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.” Romans 12:20
8If your enemy is hungry feed him ground up koch bros.
9I like the new rule! but… We need to enforce this rule because it seems the so-called religious right is not anything “Christain”. The problem is the people that need to understand the point will not accept it even if they hear about it.
10But wth do I know?
The military has an “open hostility to the Christian faith”.
11They teach people to kill. Guess Huckabuck forgot about the 5th commandment.
Mike Huckabee: Not a patriot. Not a Christian. Not smart. Not even remotely qualified to be President.
12Seems like the Rev. Huckabee took a big fat magic marker and crossed out Romans 14:4 from his version of the Bible:
Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
And also James 4:12:
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you–who are you to judge your neighbor?
13If these crazies had an ounce of sense, they would realize that promoting the overthrow of the government is treason and could get them the death penalty. Fortunately, the sane people actually in charge chose to ignore the ignoramuses.
14What the what?
15I grew up in a military family. I spent 16 years of my life dealing with growing up in a military family. The USMC is not a Christian organization. Their goals and objectives might be coincidentally Christian but being so is not a paragraph on their operations plan. And in the succinct, their job is to kill people and break things. At the command of the sitting POTUS. I envy the simplicity, the clarity of the chunk of a mission statements a MEF lieutenant gets.
Whether in religion, Congress, or the Iran peace talks the radical right clings to one belief: If they don’t get their own way 100%, no compromise, then they are the victims. We have seen this again and again.
16I am just so very sick of hearing from “christians” who have never even read The Bible they keep pounding. Apparently they want to acquire new acolytes, but their message is never anything beyond hate and destruction. I ask them over and over again, where is the Christ in your “christianity?” And they never have an answer.
Thanks, JJ, and the clients of the Salon for helping me to be relatively sane in the evangelical insanity. And thanks to JJ also for giving me a counteractive response: “You can kiss my big blue butt!” It’s been remarkably helpful.

19Too bad ‘Lil Mikey never spent a day of his life in the military. I would have loved to see him out at reveille during basic training, listening to his drill sergeant impart to him choice words of Christian inspiration. And if your Top Sarge makes you cry, Mike, then it’s off to the chaplain to punch your TS card for you.
20Just got my copy of “One Nation Under God” by Kevin M. Kruse. Heard him discuss his book on NPR, then immediately ordered it. He explains in detail how corporate America created the “Christian Nation” meme, and gives names, including the complicity of Billy Graham, in advocating the stifiling of the masses for the corporate state. Seems to me to be the same argument used by the plantation owners to keep the slaves quiet – your rewards come after death, so accept your station in life as the will of God.
21“Evangelicals have to quit calling themselves Christians. They aren’t.”
22Well no big news there, with all the various xtian cults that say they are true xtians, show me any that follow jesus’s teachings rather paul’s and his cronies.
thank the Goddess I’m a pagan.
23Huckabee’s flat feet kept him out of the military, at the suggestion of his ROTC-dude… allegedly. Makes for good campaign fodder, I guess. “He tried”. My X-husband used to lament the orthopedic shoes his South Ga/Alabama momma put on him as a wee one, which gave him “just enough of an arch to pass the test”. Trust me, his feet were flat as a pancake….all size 13 of them…. so he had to depend on his “Uncle Seymour” who was a law partner with George and Gerald Wallace, and was Finance Director of Alabama at the time, to get him into a National Guard Unit in Auburn, Alabama, an MP unit, which directed traffic at Auburn football games. He did it in a wig, because his hair was too long, and his frat bros at Ga Tech would have ragged on him profusely if he had cut off his Samson locks. LOL thinking about the Weekend Warrior duties, when I would get up at 5am to help him put on that pantyhose-esque wig cap, prior to his leaving to drive from Athens, GA, where he was in law school, for a weekend of directing traffic in a wig and “c**t-cap, in Auburn, Alabama, in the heat and humidity. Huckabee needs to own his draft-dodging excuses and quit pretending that he is an expert on military issues. Give me a break. EVERYONE who could, dodged the draft back then, any way they could. Flat feet were just one of the first excuses everyone tried. Simpleton.
24Mike Huckabee wants a weaker American military. Why does Mike Huckabee not want to protect America? Does he hate America?
25What’s wrong with Dems? Slander is not protected speech. As POTUS I’d sue that cracker’s butt SO FAST!!
26I watched as much of Huckabee’s speech in New Hampshire on CSPAN as I could stand Saturday night. The only thing I have to say is that I’ve known a bunch of used car salesman that were a lot more honest that old Mike. What a lying gas bag.
27PattiCakes, loved your story.
