Government knows it does not have the answer, but it's arrogant and acts as though it does

..and now, a few words from Mike Huckabee

"Government knows it does not have the answer, but it's arrogant and acts as though it does...Church does have the answer but will cowardly deny that it does and wonder when the world will be changed....I fear we will turn and hit the snooze button one more time and lose this great republic of ours...I'm often asked why taxes are so high and government is so big. It's because the faith we have in local churches has become so small. If we'd been doing what we should have -- giving a dime from every dollar to help the widows, the orphans and the poor -- we now wouldn't be giving nearly 50 cents of every dollar to a government that's doing ... what we should have been doing all along...I didn't get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn't have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives."

I just wanted to remind everyone in the Obama/Hillary/Edwards debate what's at stake if we screw this up.

1. people starve to death waiting for god to help them everyday.
And when they die these Huckabee types say "It was Gods will" and continue sending money to missionaries to buy bibles and build churches rather than food.

3. On Real Time Friday night Tony Snow admitted that nobody actually
knows all that is going on in Iraq. I guess he feels like speaking more freely these days.
