on a serious note

As a long-time teacher of government and an observer of the political scene in the U.S. and someone who sometimes thinks seriously about democracy and good government and policy issues, and as a very patriotic person, I will say this: 

Mike Huckabee is totally unacceptable as a President of the United States.

Government and organized religion, especially doctrinaire religious attitudes, are and should be two separate societal constructs. This does not mean that religious people should not be in politics. It means that they are to be kept apart.  They were meant for two entirely separate functions in a democratic society.  This is why Jesus said,

 

"Yield unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's."

Huckabee is one of those people who says outright that the First Amendment does not build a barrier between church and state. Those people are mistaken. 

You will not want to live in a society that is theocratically or theologically based.  Look around you at the rest of the world.
