McCain Accepts Endorsment from Armageddon Wanting Pastor

A pastor who wants a milatary strike on Iran has endorsed McCains bids for presidency. And unlike Obama, McCain said he was “very honored” by the endorsement of the war mongering pastor. The New York Times has more on the endorsement:

Senator John McCain got support on Wednesday from an important corner of evangelical Texas when the pastor of a San Antonio mega-church, Rev. John C. Hagee, endorsed Mr. McCain for president. Mr. Hagee, who argues that the United States must join Israel in a preemptive, biblically prophesized military strike against Iran that will lead to the second coming of Christ, praised Mr. McCain for his pro-Israel views.

The endorsement violates the lines of a non-profit getting involved in politics. Even though he tied in a biblical prophesy in, nowhere in the Bible is John McCains name.

I was willing to dismiss McCain’s bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran song, but he should have forcefully denied this mans war mongering. The last thing we need is a president that deliberately makes prophesies, especially ones like these, come true.

Also, the endorsement of a pastor from a Texas mega-church further dents Mike Huckabee’s creditability.

Huckabee Says Amend Constitution to “God’s Standards”

If anybody needs more proof that Mike Huckabee is one of those crazy baptist ministers that wants to gather all the atheists in the town square and stone them, here it is. Mike Huckabee made a speech on Monday in which he said that he wants to amend the constitution to be in line with “God’s standards.”

He says:

“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution, 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.”

Who knows what that means? At the very least, he is suggesting a series of amendments banning abortion and gay marriage and maybe something on how government derives its power from God, and most be obeyed at all times. At the worst, it could mean he wants to go as far as implementing whatever the Christian equivalent of Shar’ia law is in order to bring us back to the days of stoning adulterers. But nobody really knows how far he wants to go. He hasn’t expanded on what “God’s standards” are (to my knowledge).

Keep in mind, it doesn’t really matter what specific changes to the constitution he is suggesting. Any amendment that would introduce the Christian God into the constitution is uniquely un-American. As all good liberals know, the separation of church and state is a fundamental part of American democracy. A constitutional amendment that brings our government in line with one man’s interpretation of the Bible is not just breaking that church state barrier, but an encroachment on civil liberties.

Luckily, I have faith that even if Huckabee became president, he would have a hard time dragging the constitution down to the level of his theological beliefs because there are enough Americans that don’t agree with his exact religious views, but we need to be careful. Huckabee is crazy. Anybody who says otherwise has just been fooled by his charm. He is just a steaming pile of charisma who has shown all signs of being intent on creating a Christian America.

Mike Huckabee is not an intellectual.
