>>MIKE HUCKABEE HAS GONE FULL TRUMP ON THE ISSUE OF MUSLIMS,
AND ALSO THE WAR ON CHRISTIANITY.
SO MANY REPUBLICANS
BELIEVE THAT THESE DAYS, HERE'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY.
YOU WILL SEE WHY IN HIS RECENT COMMENTS ABOUT OBAMA AND
CHRISTIANITY.
>> HOW SHOULD CITIZENS BEGIN TO GET INVOLVED, SO THAT WE CAN FIX
THIS CRISIS OF CITIZENSHIP AND BRING BACK THE BALANCE BETWEEN
SELF-GOVERNANCE AND GOVERNMENT?
>>THERE IS NO RELIGIOUS TEST TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE IN AMERICA.
I
AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE AUTHENTICITY OF THEIR FAITH AND
HOW THAT PLAYS OUT IN OUR POLICIES.
I AM ALSO CONCERNED
ABOUT A GUY WHO BELIEVES HE IS A CHRISTIAN AND PRETENDS TO BE,
AND SAYS HE IS, BUT THEN DOES THINGS THAT MAKE IT VERY
DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO PRACTICE THEIR CHRISTIAN FAITH.
I AM
DISAPPOINTED IF A PERSON SAYS I AM A CHRISTIAN, BUT YOU INVITE
THEM TO YOUR HOME AND YOU INVITE A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
AT ODDS WITH CATHOLIC CHURCH POLICY.
I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING UNSEEMLY ABOUT THAT.
>>AND IT SEEMS THAT THE VATICAN IS CONCERNED WITH WHOM THE
PRESIDENT HAS INVITED TO MEET THE POPE.
>>I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THAT WORD AT ALL.
THAT IS NOT IN THE NEWS, THAT THE POPE WAS CONCERNED WITH
WHO GOT INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
>>THEY WERE ACTIVISTS.
CLIMATE ACTIVISTS, LGBT ACTIVISTS, THE POPE DIDN'T
SEEM TO CARE.
>>HUCKABEE MENTIONED THE CLIMATE ACTIVISTS.
THEY AGREE WITH THE
POPE, HE AGREES WITH THEM.
SO IT IS UNSEEMLY TO INVITE PEOPLE WHO
ARE AGAINST THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH?
THEN THE POPE IS AGAINST THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
>>HE MEANS IT IS UNSEEMLY TO INVITE THE POPE IN.
>>AT LEAST ACCORDING TO MIKE HUCKABEE'S INTERPRETATION.
>> HE SAID, HE BELIEVES HE IS A CHRISTIAN AND PRETENDS TO BE A
CHRISTIAN.
HE REFUSED TO COME OUT AND SAY HE IS NOT A
CHRISTIAN, HE IS A MUSLIM.
BUT THAT IS WHAT HE IS SAYING.
HE'S
ONLY PRETENDING TO BE A CHRISTIAN AND HE WILL GO TO
EXTREMES TO ACCOMMODATE MUSLIM TERRORISTS, SHOWS NOTHING BUT
DISDAIN FOR CHRISTIANS, AND HIS ADMINISTRATION WILL GO DOWN AS
THE MOST ANTI-CHRISTIAN IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
SO WHY DO 70%
OF IOWA REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THERE IS A WAR ON CHRISTIANITY?
BECAUSE EVERY RIGHT-WING CHRISTIAN LEADER IS TELLING THEM
THAT HE IS A MUSLIM PLANT AND HE IS TRYING TO DESTROY YOUR
CHURCH.
>>HE IS NOT SURE IF THE GUY IS A CHRISTIAN, THAT IS WHY HE IS
CONCERNED ABOUT HOW HE INVITED THE POPE.
THAT IS PROBABLY WHAT
A MUSLIM PRESIDENT WOULD DO, INVITE THE POPE TO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
HE DID NOT THINK THAT THROUGH COMPLETELY, BUT HE IS
LIKE, THERE IS SOME SORT OF TRICK, IT IS A MUSLIM THING, HE
IS OF COURSE PISSED AT THE POPE AS WELL FOR BELIEVING IN CLIMATE
CHANGE AND BEING MORE OPEN TO HOMOSEXUALS AND NOT HATING THEM
ENTIRELY AND NOT STRIPPING AWAY THEIR RIGHTS, AND ACTUALLY
CARING ABOUT THE NEEDY, JUST LIKE JESUS CHRIST WOULD.
BUT THEY
ARE ACTING LIKE -- THEY ARE MAD AT WHO HE INVITED ALONG WITH THE
POPE, BUT THEY ARE ALSO MAD AT THE POPE FOR HIS BELIEFS, AND
HENCE THEY ARE MAD THAT OBAMA IS FEATURING THE POPE IN THE WHITE
HOUSE, AND WHAT THEY VIEWED TO BE HIS POLITICAL BELIEFS.
THEY
LOVED HIS POLITICAL BELIEFS WHEN THEY AGREED WITH THEM, LIKE
PRO-LIFE, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FROM, MIKE HUCKABEE?
BUT THEY
ARE ACTING LIKE HE INVITED THE GRAND AYATOLLAH.
HE INVITED THE
POPE, NOT THE GRAND AYATOLLAH.
>>AND IF YOU HATE THEM SO MUCH, WHY ARE YOU MAD THAT OBAMA
INSULTED AND?
YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE ONE OF THOSE TO BE PISSED ABOUT.
WE WILL GO BACK TO VIDEO SIX IN A SECOND, THAT WAS MY BAD
BEFORE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT THE COMPATIBILITY OF A
CHRISTIAN THEOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE LIKE MIKE
HUCKABEE GETTING INTO OFFICE, LET'S FIND OUT WHAT HUCKABEE
THINKS ABOUT DEMOCRACY AND THE VALUE OF YOUR VOTE.
>> WHAT DO YOU PRESCRIBE FOR CITIZENS TO DO?
HOW SHOULD
PEOPLE BEGIN TO GET INVOLVED SO THAT WE CAN FIX THIS CRISIS OF
CITIZENSHIP AND BRING BACK THIS BALANCE BETWEEN
SELF-GOVERNANCE AND GOVERNMENT?
>> DON, I KNOW THAT MOST POLITICIANS SAY.
WE WANT
EVERYONE TO VOTE.
I WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DON'T.
IF THEY ARE SO STUPID --
>>UNLESS THEY ARE VOTING THE RIGHT WAY.
>>IF THEY ARE VOTING FOR ME THEY NEED TO VOTE.
BUT IN THE BIG PICTURE, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO VOTE AND
HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OUR CONSTITUTION SAYS.
>> LIKE OUR CONSTITUTION THAT IS IN FAVOR OF DEMOCRACY?
AND
THINKS EVERYBODY SHOULD GET TO VOTE?
WHEN I READ IT I THOUGHT
HE WAS JOKING, BUT WHEN YOU HEAR HIM HE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE HE IS
JOKING THAT MUCH.
OTHER PEOPLE LAUGHED --
>>HE MAY BE JOKING, BUT HE IS NOT REALLY JOKING.
>>I LOVE THE VIDEO OF THIS GUY CALLING OTHER PEOPLE STUPID.
THAT'S HILARIOUS.
HE WENT ON TO TALK IN THE INTERVIEW ABOUT HOW
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANTS TO DISSOLVE THE REPUBLIC -- IT
SOUNDS LIKE YOU WANT TO DISSOLVE THE REPUBLIC, YOU ARE NOT THAT
IN FAVOR OF DEMOCRACY -- BY PLACING STATES UNDER REMOTE
CONTROL.
IT IS FUNNY THAT I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF EVERY ONCE IN A
WHILE OF THIS -- WHY DO THEY CARE SO MUCH ABOUT STATES
RIGHTS?
WHY IS THAT A CONSERVATIVE ISSUE AS OPPOSED TO A
LIBERAL ISSUE?
BECAUSE SOME STATES WANT TO RESTRICT GAY
MARRIAGE, I GET IT WHY CONSERVATIVES WOULD BE IN FAVOR
OF THAT.
BUT SOME STATES WANT TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA AND
CONSERVATIVES HATE THAT.
SOME STATES WANT TO LEGALIZE ASSISTED
SUICIDE, CONSERVATIVES HATE THAT.
WHY DO THEY CARE SO MUCH
ABOUT IT?
THEY GET THEIR BASE RILED UP TOO, STATES RIGHTS.
IT
SEEMS LIKE SUCH A PECULIAR THING TO GET WORKED UP ABOUT.
THAN I REMEMBER, RIGHT, THE ORIGINAL STATES RIGHTS
ISSUE, SLAVERY.
>>AND JIM CROW, SEGREGATION.
>>IT IS NOT TO SAY THAT PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT STATES RIGHTS
WANT TO GO BACK TO SLAVERY, THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM SAYING.
BUT THE
REASON THEY CARED ABOUT STATES RIGHTS IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND
WHAT THAT TRIGGERS FOR THEM, IT TRIGGERS FOR THEM, YES!
REMEMBER
WHEN THEY TOOK OUR RIGHTS AWAY BY TAKING OUR SLAVES?
DON'T TAKE
MY RIGHTS AWAY, IN MY STATE I GET TO DOMINATE OVER OTHER
PEOPLE.
I HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, AND THESE
SONS OF BITCHES WILL COME IN HERE WITH THEIR HIGHFALUTIN
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND TAKE AWAY MY RIGHTS TO HATE ON BLACKS,
GAYS, WHOEVER I AM HATING ON TODAY.
I HAVE STATES RIGHTS.
THAT IS WHAT STATES RIGHTS MEANS, THAT IS WHAT
HUCKABEE IS TALKING ABOUT.
>>I WOULD SAY FINALLY THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY EVER
GENUINELY CARED ABOUT STATES RIGHTS, THEY CARE ABOUT IT ON
THOSE ISSUES, BUT AS A GENERAL ORIENTATION TOWARDS POLITICS, I
DON'T THINK THEY EVER CARED ANY MORE THAN LIBERALS DO.
I
THINK WHEN THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO PASS A FEDERAL BILL THAT
WOULD AFFECT ALL STATES THAT SUPPORTED A POLICY THAT THEY
APPROVE OF, IN THE CASE OF DOMA OR A FEDERAL BAN ON
ABORTION, THEY WILL NOT STOP AND SAY, IS THIS CONSISTENT
WITH OUR POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY?
I DON'T THINK THEY EVER GENUINELY CARED ABOUT IT,
EXCEPT WHEN IT CAME TO SLAVERY.
