No, Mr. Huckabee, It's Not.....
Huckabee: 'a different kind of Jesus juice':
The Republican's idiosyncratic agenda in Arkansas -- a health plan, taxes for parks -- was always driven by faith, he says.
LITTLE ROCK, ARK. -- In 2005, a Republican state senator named Jim Holt introduced a bill to deny public benefits to Arkansas' soaring population of illegal immigrants. Holt, a Southern Baptist minister, figured it was a rock-solid conservative idea -- a matter, he said, "of right and wrong."
Huckabee called the bill "race-baiting" and "demagoguery," and argued that the denial of health services could harm innocent children. The bill, Huckabee said, did not conform with his take on Christian values.
It is not YOUR money, Mr. Huckabee. As a Christian, you are free to donate YOUR OWN TIME AND MONEY, or start your own philanthropic organization. Fine, go ahead and do that; and you will have my utmost respect.
But to reach into SOMEONE ELSE'S pocket and steal THEIR MONEY money to satisfy YOUR ideals is simply wrong.
