Talk:Political positions of Mike Huckabee

message: Can we get a reference for the "He supports the ten commandments being displayed in schools" please?
The reference to Huckabee's denial of evolution could be sharpened a bit.  It's clear from the youtube video that Huckabee's disagreement is with macroevolution.  To say that he denies "evolution" means nothing.  People define evolution one hundred different ways.  I think it accurate to say that Huckabee probably falls in more with the intelligent design crowd.  He explicitly says on the youtube video that he has no idea how God created the earth (which means God might have used evolution to create the earth) or how long it took (which means Huckabee is probably not a young-earth creationist).  Some precision would be useful here.
:Considering he believes in biblical inerrancy, I would say it's reasonable to assume he's in the YEC crowd. 12.160.52.130 (talk) 02:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is accurate in stating that he does not accept Darwin's Theory of Evolution, which is what he has said. There is even a link to the Natural Selection article.Paisan30 (talk) 00:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: However, I do agree that the "casual contact" thing is not appropriate.Paisan30 (talk) 00:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Position on health care 

message: Huckabee calls himself the "Christian Leader" and frequently makes biblical allusions in his campaign speeches.  However, an interested person might wonder, does the biblical Jesus explicitly support any of the positions Huckabee endorses?  If not, what is the relevance of religion to Huckabee's campaign? —Viriditas | Talk 10:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: None.  He and people like him use religion as a team identity.  They can use it to rally people around themselves and against their opponents (Catholics, Muslims, homosexuals, Mormons, atheists, liberals, the list is almost endless).  It has little to nothing to do with religion, it's simply the newest form of "us/them" tribalism now that racism's gone out of fashion.  Churches like Huckabee's would be considered cults in almost any country outside of the U.S, Christian or otherwise. 147.9.201.163 (talk) 15:42, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: Huckabee's given a speech before an audience, wherein he advocates holding all Americans hostage at gunpoint,
and forcing them to become indoctrinated by a particular pro-Christian point of view. How does this mesh with
freedom of speech?  Should this be included in his political stance on the First and Second Amendments?

==National security and foreign policy==
===Size of the military and defense spending===
Huckabee supports a larger military and a fifty percent increase in defense spending. In December 2007, he wrote:"The Bush administration plans to increase the size of the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps by about 92,000 troops over the next five years. We can and must do this in two to three years. I recognize the challenges of increasing our enlistments without lowering standards and of expanding training facilities and personnel, and that is one of the reasons why we must increase our military budget. Right now, we spend about 3.9 percent of our GDP on defense, compared with about six percent in 1986, under President Ronald Reagan. We need to return to that six percent level."<ref>Foreign Affairs - America's Priorities in the War on Terror - Michael D. Huckabee

Many of the quotes appear to be taken grossly out of context after reading the rest of this article, which shows moderate conservativism, then the commentary on the article comes across as if he's an extremist. Namely: "In 1998, Huckabee said, "I got into politics........of Christ". I'm not sure what the technical term is, but it seems to be almost a passive aggressive argument against him as opposed to an unbiased report.
Anyway, I'm slightly biased and would feel wrong editing it myself. Wolvenmoon (talk) 01:33, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: "Religion" catagory seems to be unbalanced

message: Taken from the article: "Gov. Huckabee stated that he supports creating a Palestinian state, but believes that it should be formed outside of Israel in which all Palestinians would be removed by force of Greater Israel."
This meets all the criteria for ethnic cleansing, given as "to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas". Removal by force = violent means. 82.176.209.52 (talk) 10:27, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
