Yglesias Award Nominee

"I should register here that I basically agree with this, in the sense that Huck’s populism has seemed more like a rhetorical pose than anything of substance. I should note, though, that I read something earlier this week on The Hotline — and I can’t find the link this morning, so you’ll just have to trust me — saying that as Arkansas governor, Huckabee showed a penchant for distrusting centralized power. If true, that’s something. But no, I don’t think Huckabee is a populist in any sense that Larison and Caleb (Stegall) would recognize. His rhetoric to that extent is largely therapeutic, giving people the satisfaction of populist feeling (and believe me, I’ve enjoyed it) without the real thing," – Rod Dreher, Crunchy Con.

Huckabee On Divorce

We clearly need a constitutional amendment to ban it:

Marriage has historically, as long as there’s been human history, meant a man and a woman in a relationship for life. Once we change that definition, then where does it go from there?

The Bible is clear. Jesus is actually explicit on this – and never mentioned homosexuality. Divorce is clearly forbidden. If we have strayed from such a core Biblical principle, and the Constitution is the place where we are supposed to resolve social policy, then Huckabee must support a constitutional amendment to ban divorce everywhere for everyone. So how about it, GOP? Are you serious about the Bible as the basis for politics or not?
