FeedsReplying to a comment on Why Mike Huckabee is Bad for America
By no means do I seek to penalize religious believers for their beliefs. Indeed, many of our most admirable leaders and heroes have found religion to be a helpful guide. As Obama has said (and I paraphrase), faith is essential. I was simply asserting I have doubts over the Governor's ability to not legislate his faith in an aggressive way onto others. From the Iraq War to his positions on abortion and gay marraige, he's not merely using his beliefs as a guide; instead, they are purely his policy. This might not be terrible in certain circumstances, but I again lean on how he references "single-mindedness" in his policy on the war on terror. Can he be independent enough from his beliefs to account for the opinions of others and find any reasonable middle-ground? I have my doubts.
As for going after his policies, that's exactly what I was attempting to do. I talk significantly about many other aspects of his platform, alongside his faith. But when he doesn't separate his faith and professional lives, when his faith is his policy, then it's fair game for criticism.
