Mike Huckabee?

Just So You Know

I just heard him on On Point via public radio, WAMU in DC.

I was really stunned and impressed at his enthusiasm, optimism and outlook. I don’t think I have heard such an uplifting guy in politics since the OTHER guy from Hope, AR.

You gotta love a guy that lost over a hundred pounds. That’s transformation.

Politically speaking, I am not wild about Mike Huckabee at all. He’s pro-life and frankly I’m enough of a one issue voter that there’s NO FREAKIN’ WAY I’d vote for him because of that position alone. But I found him remarkably in line with my thoughts about the stupidness of the creation/evolution debate. His feeling is that he takes his kids to church to indoctrinate them about religion and doesn’t expect school to align with religious views because kids learn a great many things at school but do not take all of them to heart. HEAR HEAR. Give your kids some credit and let them think on their own about God! After all the beauty of God’s gift of free will is that when faced with the notion that God perhaps didn’t create the world exactly as we know it, you can either reject or accept it.

All of his kids went to public school for all twelve years. He’s a guy who puts his money where his mouth is and I’m all for that.

I didn’t listen to all of it in detail because I was busy doing some other blogging, but the parts I did hear left me with a good impression. I mean, if I have to choose between evils, the guy is looking pretty good.
