Huckabee cancels Covenant speech over Jimmy Carter's criticism of Bush

wow. said one thing and then turned right around and contradicted themselves in the next breath.

 

GB, I got a great idea. To replace Huckabee, you could ask Kennedy and Pelosi. They would fit right in with the rest.

 

Separation of church and state:
One of the hallmarks of the baptist faith.

Could someone please remind Mr. Carter of this?

 

Separation OF

Just because we are believers, that does not mean that we cannot be a part of the political process. The idea of the Bill of Rights was not to eternally separte church and state, but to ensure that the state run churches of Europe did not become our model of government. Also for the church run states of Europe not to gain foothold in America.

To that end, it does not bother me to have a baptist involved in the political process as long as he does not warp his views because of it. This is what happens to most politicians with a religious background, they shun the bible in principle and embrace humanism until they need the religious vote. I have a real problem with this whole set up of Carter's. But then again, I have a real problem with Carter as a Christian.

 

Carter cannot be accused of mixing church and State.

 

The thing I like about you is the high aspirations and lofty goals you have for the Christian faith.

 

GB is such an encourager!

 

Frankly, I believe that Mr. Huckabee was catching so much heat for agreeing to appear in the first place that he was looking for any way out of his agreement. Lucky for him, Mr. Carter has become a loudmouth in his old age.

 

It takes a lot of gall for you to ask that question.

 

Hooray for Huckabee.

 

I think you'll find this true of most people when they hit a certain age. They forget that you just don't say certain things, even if the observation is obvious to everyone. My grandmother does the same thing, and her baby brother has a knack for saying things to people that would make you cringe.

 

My grandmother has dementia and so does her brother.

I think it all has to do with senility, in whatever form. Some people do not experience that, but I think most folks go a little nuts at a certain age.

Things they might used to just think, they now vocalize to everyone.

The first time my great uncle met my brothers then-fiance, he took her aside to tell her all the duties ad responsibilities of gatting married, and making sure she knew what she was doing. It left an awkward impression with her. Of course, she did file for divorce just 3 years later, so maybe he sensed something there.

My grandmother once told a neighbor who was asking about our cleaning lady why she didn't clean her house herself because that's the way she used to do it. She also asked her why she wasn't wearing a bra. (Is there a crawlspace under the floor?)

My other grandmother used to tell me "You get fatter everytime I see you." Of course, that may have been because she was just mean more than her Alzheimer's. She actually became nice once she lost her mind.

People that don't have a touch of senility/dementia after a certain age seem to be fairly rare.

They seem to ask questions no one else would dare ask.

Although, that might just be because they firgure, "I'm old and I don't care what people think anymore.":laugh:
