I heard this on the news this morning.

It was a comment Mike Huckabee made in Michigan to voters, and quite frankly, it scares me that one of the contenders for the presidential nomination would say this.

"[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.


I thought that one of the fundamental parts of our nation was the separation of church and state. To hear him talk about "God's standards" in the constitution really frightens me.

Yes, I saw this too and was going to post about it. I think this is the most outrageous statement a person could make. For many reasons. I think this statement is going to reflect as to why he WILL NOT be our future president amongst other things.

scratch him off my list as a maybe.
We already have a president that has tried forcing his religious beliefs on us, it doesn't work.
