  From the mouth of the Huckster:
  
  "I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe itÂ’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And thatÂ’s what we need to do is amend the Constitution so itÂ’s in GodÂ’s standards rather than trying to change GodÂ’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family."

  I guess it would be Mike Huckabee's interpretation. :p
  
  Or whoever's interpretation that Mike Huckabee accepts.

  In the past, America had faced the threats of Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and China's and USSR's communism.
  
  What's the current threat to America's survival and co-incidentally is also a threat to global survival? Besides global warming?

  If this Huckabee ever makes USA to be a theocracy, he's going to be a number 1 assination target.

  Actually, it will be quite hard for him even if he does become President - especially if he doesn't have a Republican majority.
  
  And even if he did have a Republican majority, I do think most of them respect the Constitution and the separation of church and state.
