The United States Constitution never uses the word "God" or makes mention of any religion, drawing its sole authority from "We the People." However, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks it's time to put an end to that.
"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "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."
When Willie Geist reported Huckabee's opinion on MSNBC's Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn't immediately find much to say beyond calling it "interesting,"
Here is the YouTube video of Huckabee's statement:
So what does this mean? Huckabee is more than willing to change the Constitution to be in line with his own religious ideology, and then shove that ideology down the rest of our throats. I would rather vote for Huckabee's opponents (Preferably Democrats, reluctantly Republicans), rather then have this extremist asshole be elected into office.
