There is no doubt that Huckabee is a social conservative…. and an economic socialist. BTW, the number 47 million uninsured includes 10 million illegal aliens.
Huckabee should just go be an entertainer. He is quite good at that. He is not very good on public policy.
Huckabee gives me hope for the Republican party and the evangelical political movement. You can’t be a Christian and say we have no duty to the poor, that hunger, sickness, homelessness are not our responsibility, that we are doomed to a world of economic Darwinism. His beliefs are perfectly consistent with conservatism: whenever possible, citizens should take responsibility for the welfare not only of themselves but of others; when and only when this fails, the government must act.
