Huckabee: Amend Constitution to be in ‘God’s standards’

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,”
Scarborough finally suggested that while he believes “evangelicals should be able to talk politics … some might find that statement very troubling, that we’re going to change the Constitution to be in line with the Bible. And that’s all I’m going to say.”
Geist further noted of Huckabee that if “someone without his charm,” said that, “he’d be dismissed as a crackpot, but he’s Mike Huckabee and he’s bascially the front-runner.”
Ahem, so…
Not for nothing, but my lame ass had a dream about Scotty last night – we won’t get into it.
I’m still grappling with this motivation thing, I feel kind of useless at
work not wanting to do anything. I mean, I don’t just sit here but I could be far more pro-active with things and just choose to waste time on espn or perez…oi. As odd as it seems I think being back in the swing of a full class load might help me pull my shit together, and obviously taming down my weekends… (hah!)
[Blah!]
I’m thinking about going to Nashua this weekend to get away from the city and watch the Championship on Brian’s rediculously large television, plus he could use the company. It’s a long weekend so I can compromise by staying on Friday night or coming home for Sunday and have a balanced weekend that won’t kill my bank account…I wonder if I can get any of the boys to come up for some NH shenanigans.
Probably not.
Spose I shouldn’t have written this entry at work if I really cared about being motivated, hah! Off I go…
Hmph.
Ugh I’m upset with myself…I have no motivation to do anything. I just want to sit on the couch and do nothing all day. It pains me to get up for work in the morning and don’t even talk about school…I’m having a serious mental block with caring about my responsibilities.
is this what being black is like?
sigh.
I’ll try to elaborate more tomorrow, but I don’t give a shit right now.
