Mike Huckabee seems to be the one…
Get thee behind me?”
After reading this piece in Arkansas Democrat Gazette I think we’ve finally found the candidate America needs in the White House: Mike Huckabee. He has the only good point the Democrats have (their claim that they care about people) without their misguided and so-called ideas to best express that care.
For example, Huckabee said that it is the ungiving individuals who are responsible for higher taxes. “I’m often asked why taxes are so high and government is so big,” he said. “It’s because the faith we have in local churches has become so small. If we’d been doing what we should have — giving a dime from every dollar to help the widows, the orphans and the poor — we now wouldn’t be giving nearly 50 cents of every dollar to a government that’s doing … what we should have been doing all along.”
Huckabee understands that it is not government’s responsibility to take care of people’s personal lives. How refreshing. Even more refreshing is how forcefully he states it. Making no bones about government failure, he said that “government knows it does not have the answer, but it’s arrogant and acts as though it does.”
But he also understands that it takes brave Christians to stand up and proclaim the truth. As he concludes, “church does have the answer but will cowardly deny that it does and wonder when the world will be changed.”
The best portion of the piece follows, when Huckabee put his reasoning succinctly: “The reason we have so much government is because we have so much broken humanity. And the reason we have so much broken humanity is because sin reigns in the hearts and lives of human beings instead of the Savior.”
A man who boldly proclaims Christ is the answer and who truly believes it (as Huckabee seems to give every indication he does) is infinitely better than any other candidate - be they Republican or Democrat.
