Dear Huckabee, Its "We the people" NOT "In the name of God"

"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "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 -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."

Dear Huckabee,
For the last time, you fundamentalist Christian theocrat, America was NOT built on religion. In fact, our founding fathers went to great lengths to get religion OUT of the constitution, because, they saw the devastation that the mix of religion and government had on Europe. Go and read your blasted history! Even if history is too complicated for your Bible-addled mind to understand, however, may I present to you a couple of the Middle-Eastern countries who have unwisely not observed a strict and defined separation of church and state: Iran and Saudi Arabia. Their populations are miserable, their governments are UN-democratic and their rights are heavily curtailed. the image that they are projecting is by NO MEANS the image that Americans have traditionally strived for. Look here, darling. You keep your Bible in your church and in your home. That's your right. But don't you dare come trying to trample on MY rights. If that's your intention then STAY THE HELL OUT OF MY GOV'T!!!

No love,
A VERY annoyed atheist, feminist American who DOES NOT want to be told what to do by a theocrat.

Oh god really, we can see full well what happens when countries are based on religious ideology (or any single minded ideology), they tend to become intolerant, brutal, murderous places.. Hell, even Jesus was opposed to the joining of religion and politics, and got executed for his protest..

Sadly, he said what every other Republican candidate is saying, he’s just the only one to admit he wants theocracy…

What's even worse is that he was endorsed by Watchman on the Walls, a white supremist group that is also homophobic in the extreme. *headdesk*
