HUCK'S THEOLOGY DEGREE

*

http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58938

Three of the GOP candidates were asked whether they believed the Bible.

"How you answer this question will tell us everything we need to know about you," said Joseph from Dallas, Texas. As he held a Holy Bible up to the camera, he asked, "Do you believe every word of this Book?"

JULIE-ANNIE: "I don't believe every single thing in the literal sense of Jonah being in the belly of the whale. You know, there are some things in it that I think were put there as allegorical."

TG: No surprise there. The Roman Catholic Governor has never claimed to be a Bible believer. But look at this response from the second candidate:

"The Bible is the Word of God, absolutely.

"Does that mean you believe every word?" asked moderator Anderson Cooper.

"Yeah, I believe it's the Word of God. I might interpret the Word differently than you interpret the Word, but I read the Bible and I believe the Bible is the Word of God. I don't disagree with the Bible. I try and live by it."

TG: That is the response from the MORMON, Mitt Romney. Far better than Julie-Annie, and even better than the Baptist minister in the panel as we see next.

REV. HUCKABEE: "It's the Word of revelation to us from God Himself. The fact is when people ask if you believe all of it, you either believe it or you don't believe it. As the only person here probably on this stage with a theology degree, there are parts of it I don't fully comprehend and understand, but I'm not supposed to. Because the Bible is the revelation of an infinite God, and no finite person is ever gonna fully understand it. If they do, their God is too small."

TG: Huckabee ought to sue whoever gave him his theology degree for fraud. He should know the Bible better than my 11 year old, who has only been saved for a year. That's a pretty pathetic response from a Baptist minister. No doubt there are parts of the Bible none of us understand rightly, but the whole of it is not so difficult that my four year old can't grasp it.

Here's another Christian's take on the Huckster:

Huckabee is a Baptist Minister. For starters, he should be busy preaching the word of God, which is more important than politics. Why doesn't he get out of the Presidential race and spend his time preaching the gospel, which is what the people of God have ordained him to do?

Ron Paul is a Baptist. According to a web source, his favorite hymn is Martin Luther's "A Mighty Fortress is our God." This is a theologically-sound hymn from the Protestant Reformation based on Psalm 46, unlike that rock and roll trash that Huckabee pretends is worshipful music. From what I've heard of Huckabee' preaching, he sounds more like a pop psychologist than a preacher of the old gospel of salvation for sinners in Christ the Lord.

On top of this, Paul understands the rule of law. He respects the Constitution as the law of the land. The rule of law is Christian concept based on the Supreme Lawgiver who has ordained all civil governments that exist. However, not only the people, but also the government is responsible to obey the law. (Romans 13) That is why only a Christian society like the U. S. (was?) can forge a government that respects the rule of law.

Outline of Over 50 Simple Reasons a Christian Should NOT Support Rev. Mike Huckabee.

RELIGIOUS

1. Rev. Huckabee is a member of the LIBERAL wing of the Southern Baptist Convention. Paul Pressler, a former Texas judge who led the conservative SBC revolt, said, "I know of no conservative he appointed while he headed the Arkansas Baptist Convention." The liberals (AKA moderates) in the SBC are the ones who don’t believe the Bible literally, often denying the Genesis accounts and miracles, while rejecting the stated authorship of many books of the Bible.

2. He took a vow to support the Constitution, which requires Congress to declare war. But he supports skirting the Constitution for the attack on Iraq. God says those who break vows are “fools” (Ecc. 5:4).

3. Said he'd ignore the Constitution "in a heartbeat" if Congress opposed the war.

4. Backpedaled on denial of evolution. Said he would encourage evolution be taught and make creation illegal in public schools.

5. Said amnesty and freebies for illegal aliens is God's way for America to atone for slavery.

666. Suggested tracking people with marks like FedEx.

7. Whined about how congregants of the Baptist church he left didn't want to continue paying his health insurance.

8. If he's a legitimate Baptist preacher he shouldn't have demoted himself from the office of Pastor to seek a lesser office.

ILLEGAL ALIENS

1. Supported amnesty for illegal aliens.

2. Supported giving them our tax money for free education, health care, and welfare.

3. Supported paying for illegal aliens to have college educations (also with our money).

4. Supported allowing aliens to vote in U.S. elections.

5. Worked with corporations in Arkansas to draw in low-wage illegal aliens.

6. Supports funding education of foreigners in countries we invade.

ETHICS

1. Investigated by Arkansas Ethics Commission 14 times.

2. NONE of the 14 ruled "frivolous" despite Huckabee's motion to have them so ruled.

3. In one case saved by swing vote of AEC chairwoman. Days later she took a state job where she had listed the governor as a reference.

4. Reprimanded by AEC five times.

5. Allowed passage of legislation that made it easier for restaurants to obtain private-club mixed-drink permits in dry counties.

6. Sped final action on a bill to allow video poker at the state's racetracks (then received a $10,000 contribution from track owner).

7. Took a hefty honorarium from Novo Nordisk, which performs embryonic stem cell research.

8. Lied about commuting sentence of convicted rapist, who raped and killed again after being paroled. Attributed his action to Christian principle of forgiveness.

9. Crushed government computer drives, hiding records of his administration.

10. Refused to rule out running on ticket with pro-abortion candidate.

11. Phyllis Schlafly said he “destroyed the conservative movement in Arkansas and left the Republican party a shambles”.

12. Huckabee was the only Republican candidate to support the vast Schip social health care expansion.

13. Democratic Gov. Beebe was able to retain 15 of Huckabee’s agency heads because they were “Clinton people, not Huckabee people.”

FILTHY LUCRE

1. Tried to claim $70,000 of furniture as his own.

2. In 1992 campaign used campaign funds to pay himself to be his own media consultant.

3. In 1994 campaign, set up charity (Action America) so he could pay himself for speeches without having to disclose names of his benefactors.

9, Used public funds to pay his dry cleaning bills.

10. Bought wife panty hose with taxpayer’s money.

11. Paid for meals at Taco Bell with public funds.

12. Though married 30 years ago, had a "wedding gift registry" to receive gifts to furnish his new $525,000 home as he left office.

ECONOMY

1. Raised taxes five times, including income, sales, gas, and nursing home taxes. Net tax increase of over $500 million (47%), despite claims of cutting taxes 90 times.

2. Increased predecessor Bill Clinton's budget by 65%.

3. Increased gov't workers in Arkansas by 20%.

4. Largest public-paid medical program in State history.

6. Arkansas debt increased over $1 billion during Huckabee administration.

7. Huckabee earned the failing grade of "F" on the Cato Institute's 2006 governors' fiscal report card.

8. He also received a failing grade from the tax watchdog group Club for Growth, calling him a “liberal in disguise”.

9. The Washington-based think tank awarded Huckabee a "D" for his overall term.

10. Violated supply and demand by increasing minimum wage, but limiting what companies can charge.

HUCKABEE'S BIG DAY

*

Mike Huckabee's campaign tried to emulate Ron Paul's "Money Bomb" (11-5 Guy Fawkes Day).

http://www.nov20forthechildren.com/

It bombed.

To say he came nowhere near the $4.3 MILLION the Paul campaign raised would be an understatement. He raised just $224,000 (which was a big day for Huck).

Not only did he not raise the millions like Paul did on his big day, but he didn't even raise as much as Ron Paul did on the SAME day, even though it wasn't any special day for the Paul campaign. The Paul campaign pulled in $250,000. So neither Huckster, nor the media, can even crow about Huck's big day, because Paul surpassed it.

That's not all. Ron Paul's biggest day is yet to come. Over 19,200 have already pledged $100 on 12-16 (Boston Tea Party day) - and there are still three weeks left to pledge! Only 18,000 pledged for Guy Fawkes day to bring in the $4.3 million. How much will come in on 12-16?

Yet today Huckabee said, "People forget that presidential campaigns are ... if they're anything, about momentum," Huckabee said. "And if you have momentum, you'll get the money. You can have money, but if you don't have any momentum, then you'll end up like President Phil Gramm or President Ross Perot or President Steve Forbes." http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=3894906&page=1

Is Huckabee now campaigning for Ron Paul?

WHAT IS FOLGER BREWING?

*




Janet Folger heads Faith 2 Action, a well-known Christian activist ministry. She was the spearhead behind the Values Voter debate. She is a Mike Huckabee shill who has greatly distorted the records of both Huckabee and Dr. Ron Paul.


Her deception can be confirmed in at least three places - and please check out all three. The first was her own interview with Rep. Paul on F2A. We then can see how she misrepresented things Paul said to her in her WorldNetDaily column and in an interview of her by WVCY Crosstalk host Vic Eliason. I've casually known Bro. Eliason, and respected him greatly, for more than 15 years and I am shocked that he is giving Folger opportunity to spread her propaganda.


Folger has ignored several unpleasant facts about Mike Huckabee, (he outspent Bill Clinton, wrote for the CFR, was reprimanded five times for ethics violations, supported illegal aliens being funded by taxpayers and foreigners voting in our elections, etc.) and has made up several unpleasant falsehoods (I'm being polite in my assessment here) about Dr. Ron Paul. A few of her misrepresentations of Rep. Paul were due to her ignorance of the Constitution, but most of them were made up out-of-thin-air, much like the Federal Reserve does with our money.


In her WND column she spews this fabrication about Dr. Paul:


Rep. Ron Paul: In addition to being against the Marriage Protection Act, Paul is an evolutionist who wouldn't protect the Terri Schiavos of the world from a starvation death because our Founding Fathers never thought to enumerate it in the Constitution. He also wants to legalize drugs and prostitution but wouldn't enforce obscenity violations. Don't believe me? See for yourself at ValuesVoterDebate.com.


She likewise boldly challenged listeners on Crosstalk to listen to her interview with Ron Paul to hear for themselves. Maybe she didn't think anyone would take her up on that challenge, but I did. I went and listened to her interview. I was left wondering if she was even listening to her own interview. Some of the things she claimed about Dr. Paul were virtually the opposite of what he told her. To do so five or six times goes beyond being a careless mistake. To repeat the same slanders in at least two different forums suggests careful intent. Let's take a look at her claims and compare them to what Dr. Paul told her himself in his interview.


Rep. Paul is "against the Marriage Protection Act". (WND) "Did not vote for the Marriage Protection Act." (VCY)


Folger is either in gross error or is being deceptive. Far from opposing it, Dr. Paul was an original cosponsor of the Marriage Protection Act as a proper response in lieu of a federal amendment (http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul207.html). He also supports the Defense of Marriage Act.


Dr. Paul asserts, "I oppose federal efforts to redefine marriage as something other than a union between one man and one woman ... liberal social engineers who wish to use federal government power to redefine marriage will be able to point to the constitutional marriage amendment as proof that the definition of marriage is indeed a federal matter! I am unwilling either to cede to federal courts the authority to redefine marriage, or to deny a state’s ability to preserve the traditional definition of marriage."


Once we give "Big Brother" the authority to define marriage, we will have no recourse when marriage is redefined to include homosexuality, bigamy, incest, or bestiality. We will have given a future Court of a President Hillary administration the right to tell us what marriage is.


"Paul is an evolutionist". (WND) "He believes in evolution". (VCY)


Folger is wrong again. Maybe she is hard of hearing. He did not say that at all. He told Janet it was "a scientific question", but "I think that the creation has been brought here by God ... We're God's creatures ... I don't say there's no evolution, nor do I say there is evolution". In many other forums he has referred to God as our "Creator" and the Originator of our rights.

While he doesn't hold as strong of a young earth creation position as I do, at worst, he took virtually the identical position that Huckabee originally took (which Folger lauded him for). The difference being that Huckabee backed down and said he thought evolution should be taught in the public schools but creation shouldn't, while Paul believes it should be up to the parents what their children are taught, and they could be taught creation. So even if Paul was an evolutionist, his position is better for creationists than Huckabee's position.


"Wouldn't protect the Terri Schiavos of the world from a starvation death." (WND/VCY)


Another mischaracterization to make Rep. Paul appear to be immoral. Dr. Paul is probably the most pro-life member of Congress. But he recognizes the danger of dealing with such things at the federal level, saying "Once you deliver to the federal government, you're more likely to have a bad effect, just like Roe vs. Wade was federal and that's why all States have legalized abortion.".


Rep. Paul asserted, "Any type of murder, manslaughter, any type of violence, in any area, we don't go to the federal government. It is still a State issue." This doesn't mean you don't have respect for life." When someone is robbed, assaulted, or raped, they don't call Washington - they call their LOCAL law enforcement, and deal with their LOCAL courts and LOCAL government. Does that mean we believe in the legalization of rape and robbery? Would I be being honest to say Folger believed in the legalization of rape? Every bit as honest as she was to say Ron Paul wouldn't protect Terri Schiavo and believed in the legalization of prostitution.


"He also wants to legalize drugs and prostitution". (WND) "He believes in the legalization of prostitution, the legalization of drugs." (VCY)


In his interview with Folger, Dr. Paul specifically told her he didn't "endorse" legalization of such things, but he believed the Constitution mandated such things be dealt with at state and local levels. His words were, "That does not mean that because you allow States to solve this, doesn't mean that you endorse any of this." Where Folger claimed Paul wanted to "legalize" these vices, Paul specifically said otherwise. Yet Folger continues to wrongly accuse Dr. Paul. She continued making every effort to portray Rep. Paul as being supportive of immorality, apparently even to the point of telling flat out lies about what he said (and lying is still quite immoral last time I checked my Bible).


Bringing things to the federal level hasn't worked in our favor thus far. We have national abortion-on-demand. We have more pro-sodomite laws than ever before. We have more anti-Bible and anti-Christian laws that ever before. Drug abuse is worse than ever. Pornography is more rampant than ever. Why would we advocate more of what has been so terrible for Christianity and America? When America operated as Rep. Paul advocates, we had a much more moral and Christian society. As we've increasingly looked to the federal nanny to meet our every need, American has become increasingly immoral.


"Wouldn't enforce obscenity violations." (WND) "He would not enforce the hard core obscenity violations." (VCY)


Sorry to sound like a parrot, but it's the same answer that Rep. Paul gave Janet over and over again. Rep. Paul wouldn't enforce those because it is not the duty of the federal government to do so. It's not because he supports obscenity, although that's the impression Folger is again trying to paint Dr. Paul with. He would have to violate his oath of office to enforce those things at the federal level.


Every elected politician takes a vow before his God and his countrymen to support and defend the Constitution. God says in Ecc 5:4 that one who defers to keep a vow is a fool. Are we advocating that our candidates violate their vows to uphold the Constitution? Ron Paul wants to support the Constitutional principle of federalism, that State and local governments supersede the federal Leviathan in everything not specified in the Constitution, per the 9th and 10th Amendments. Janet Folger is advocating that politicians defy Ecc 5:4. It looks like a case of "misery loves company".


"He is also not in favor of a human life amendment". (VCY)


Ron told Janet that there have been several offered and some he supported and others he didn't, depending on how they were written. He told her twice that he co-sponsored Jesse Helms' human life bill, and about his own pro-life bills. Dr. Paul authored the Sanctity of Life bill, which declares personhood upon conception. He also has authored bills to use Article Three of the Constitution to prohibit courts from ruling in favor of abortion.


Pertaining to the pro-life position in general, Paul told Folger, "You can still protect life, but you can't misconstrue what I say and say that the government is legalizing killing. That isn't anything of what I'm talking about."


Janet Folger has repeatedly tried to smear Dr. Paul with the reputation of immorality by claiming he supports legalizing horrible vices like pornography and abortion. Dr. Paul repeatedly told her otherwise, and carefully explained the Constitutional position of State's rights to her, yet Janet has continued to repeat the horrible accusations.


How Janet could keep missing such things is difficult to believe. She seems to be pretty sharp. It's very hard to believe she could be so mistaken so often. She either has a very bad memory, she is delusional, or she is a liar. She's convinced me her memory lapses about Dr. Ron Paul were intentional.
