Huckabee Bigotry Eruption

I have always viewed Mike Huckabee as a dangerous mentally deranged man who wants to subvert the U.S. Constitution to his own warped personal interpretation of the Bible. I still recall him stating as much on a Morning Joe program back during the GOP primary in 2008. He's just as crazy as the Iman in the Middle East, yet the news media is too gutless to draw the very distinct parallels. It is disconcerting how many people can't see beyond his "awe shucks" act and realize the guy is a religious fanatic. And when it comes to gays, the man's bigotry knows no bounds. Indeed, he stops just short of calling us depraved animals. Would that he would take a good look in the mirror if he wants to see a danger to society. During an interview at The College of New Jersey in Ewing, New Jersey, Huckabee went into a fully bigot eruption against gays and LGBT activists. Should the man ever be elected to national office, it will clearly be time for rational people to flee the country. Here are some highlights from The Perspective that are most telling:
*
Huckabee, a former Baptist preacher, remains in favor of keeping in place ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,’ the policy that requires the military to expel openly gay service members. “I wouldn’t support a repeal if I were commander-in-chief,” he said. “You don’t see foot soldiers out there demanding it. I’m not sure that’s the most important thing we ought to be doing for the military.”
*
“[‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’] touches an extraordinarily small group of people,” Huckabee continued. He dismissed calls to amend the policy as “primarily a posturing point for political purposes,” and an attempt to “force something on the military that they themselves haven’t pushed that hard.”
*
He continues to oppose any government recognition of same-sex relationships. Even civil unions are “not necessary,” Huckabee said. “I think there’s been a real level of being disingenuous on the part of the gay and lesbian community with their goal of civil unions,” he alleged, referring to LGBT activists who first claimed that their goal in several states was to enact civil unions, but subsequently launched efforts to implement full marriage rights.
*
Huckabee went on to draw parallels between homosexuality and other lifestyles that are considered by some to be morally aberrant. “You don’t go ahead and accommodate every behavioral pattern that is against the ideal,” he said of same-sex marriage. “That would be like saying, well, there are a lot of people who like to use drugs, so let’s go ahead and accommodate those who want who use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accommodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, so we should accommodate them.”
*
He also affirmed support for a law in Arkansas that prohibits same-sex couples from becoming adoptive or foster parents. “I think this is not about trying to create statements for people who want to change the basic fundamental definitions of family,” Huckabee said. “And always we should act in the best interest of the children, not in the seeming interest of the adults.” “Children are not puppies,” he continued. “This is not a time to see if we can experiment and find out, how does this work?”
*
I am almost surprised that the Huckster did not advocate exterminating gays while he was at it. He clearly needs to move to a nation like Iran since he shares the mindset of the whacked out fundamentalist extremists in that country.
