Huckabee to end Fox News show to mull 2016
Source: CNN
(CNN)Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, is ending his weekend program on Fox News -- effective immediately -- as he contemplates another run for president.
"I won't make a decision about running until late in the spring of 2015, but the continued chatter has put Fox News into a position that is not fair to them," Huckabee wrote in a letter to supporters Saturday evening

Gun extremists, whose grasp of constitutional law and American history is typically as firm as their grasp on empathy and decency, have been telling us for some time that a well-armed populace is necessary to keep tyranny at bay. The recent announcements that white police officers would not face trial for shooting unarmed black men would seem to provide a good opportunity for these anti-oppression patriots to protest governmental abuse.
Sure, armed white private citizens have been conspicuously absent from the struggle against actual governmental oppression in U.S. history Native American genocide, Jim Crow, womens subjugation, Japanese internment camps but things might be different this time, right?
After all, Open Carry Texas recently planned to educate the black residents of Houstons Fifth Ward about their gun rights by marching with semiautomatic rifles and a bullwhip through their residential streets, and gun rights activists frequently inform us that their struggle for guns everywhere is just like the struggle for black civil rights, because endangering the public with loaded firearms is, apparently, just like not being white.
So how did gun extremists react to the news that Darren Wilson would not face trial for killing an unarmed fellow citizen? Lets first turn to CJ Grisham, the head of Open Carry Texas whose Facebook profile photo shows him being arrested after he baited the police into a confrontation over a toy gun at the Texas Capitol, and who recently opined that three cop cars at the mall parking lot on Black Friday shows that America is a police state.
Racists will most likely begin rioting, wrote Grisham after the grand jury announcement. This is one of those instances I would stand in arms at the side of the police.

(6,719 posts)FN is easy money. Huckabee is not going to run. Too many already in the mix. He can pretend that he is running and maybe that is enough for the ego. Has he written a book? Has he lost weight? giggle. Is there really that much 'chatter?' I am suspicious. Maybe not a stink but a slight aroma perhaps? I am not in the FN loop so my questions are all from the outside.

(11,014 posts)the race is appearing like a padded-room psychiatric ward. Clowns are quirky and entertaining.
This cohort with its mood-swings, lack of reality testing and delusions is desperately in need of Lithium, clozapine and perhaps even propofol.

Humility is lacking in these "religious" fame whores.
