Hello I'm new here so I hope I'm in the correct place. I wanted to speak about Huckabee and his opinions. After being in a fundamentalist church for over ten years I can say that its about control. Any thinking one way or another isn't allowed. If you don't buy hook line and sinker what they teach then they find a way to belittle you. Once you are broken then they can mold you into whatever they like. .....you know that's fine whatever, however these people have some serious issues. All the way down to what kind of clothes to wear, what movies to watch, where to go or not to go, what kind of music to listen to. Which brings me to the reason of this post. Actually its much deeper than that. If these people do not get there way then they get angry and can do physical harm. I've seen personally the threat of physical harm. What has me upset today is the theory that they will answer for the sins of others....if its sin at all. I cannot find it anywhere in the Bible that you answer for anothers persons sins. If that were the case then all of hamanity is in deep trouble. So that leads us back to control. The control they use today isn't like church control, its control of everything. Money, politics, food clothes and so on. The United States of America is not a religion, never has been and never will be. Now here is when the politics come into play. Every four years the better than you are religious people find a person usually a famous one to belittle. This gives them a platform to raise money and get the word out. The feeling of control they get from it allows for the old pat on the back. Look at me God I'm not like those other people. Some of them actually believe they were born to control others. I do believe in freedom of religion...they do not. They believe in its my way or the highway. I could go on and on but I've said enough. My wish is for these people to grow up and actually read what's in the Bible.

Origins: A years-old bit of political gossip was brought back into the limelight in January 2015 when former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, in an interview promoting his new book, publicly criticized the parenting skills of the First Couple, Barack and Michelle Obama. Many pundits were quick to point out an incident that was much discussed during Huckabee's 2008 presidential campaign, one touted as calling Huckabee's own parenting skills into question.

On 11 July 1998, two young men working as counselors at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, Arkansas, killed a dog at that Boy Scout camp. One of those young men was 19-year-old Clayton Frady of Texarkana and the other David Huckabee, the youngest son of Arkansas Governor Michael Dale "Mike" Huckabee. David Huckabee was 17 at the time of the slaying, although he would turn 18 less than two weeks later. Both young men were fired over the incident...
