Mike Huckabee on amending the Constitution

Jesus Christ on a crutch... I knew Huckabee was a evangelical, bible beating, fuckwit but this statement takes the cake. At the Michigan primaries he made a speech declaring:

"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "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 -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."

Honestly, what do you say to that? I think the scariest part is knowing how many atavistic douche bags in this country would agree with his declaration. Discussed on MSNBC's Morning Joe

Geist further noted of Huckabee that if "someone without his charm," said that, "he'd be dismissed as a crackpot, but he's Mike Huckabee and he's bascially the front-runner."

The Conservative Myth

As posted at Chucker, it's time to rebrand the 'L' word. Over time right-wing conservatives have successfully vilified the word until majority of American's won't identify with liberal ideology. But as this article and aggregate of studies shows, Americans are more liberal than they realize.

This just goes to show you that true conservatives/right-wingers/fundies do an excellent job of spinning the meaning of words (while the article says it's being checked for neutrality but the fact that Luntz is a wordsmith is undisputed.)
