Huckabee is rather likable, and the fact that he isn't a greedy,
self-serving, back-stabbing, money-grubbing lawyer bodes better
for him (far better in fact), than for sinners who do otherwise.
It's easy to see how an articulate, non-lawyer southern baptist
Christian politician is appealing to the conservative Americans
at this very late -- extremely late(!) -- date in world history.
If only eradicating antichrists from the face of the globe were
that simple. Jesus says very nearly the entire human race shall
certainly die during the worldwide tribulation, Armageddon unto
the end of the world, more so than in Noah's days, before Jesus
can return and claim His throne as reigning King over humankind.
If Huckabee actually is a bible scholar, then he must know this;
thus he must also realize that the time of the end is imminent...
So, regardless of whatever "good intentions" Huckabee may have,
he's walking into the lion's den, you know, like Ronald Reagan
said, "one nation By the lawyers and For the lawyers". You see,
the reality of politics is as it has ever been, you either buy
them off or you kill them off. That's the U.S. Government & Co.
in a nutshell. Jesus called them the whore of Babylon, and the
U.S. Military & Co. the invincible beast she rides. That's more
than a grim assessment, but is Apocalyptic prophecy manifesting
in corporeal reality. And the long-awaited December 21, 2012 is
barely five years away, and fast ticking away, at this writing!
So it makes no difference who does, or does not, get "elected",
neither does it matter that the 2008 presidential election is
going to be cancelled due to the WOB's unbridled love of money,
absolute power and control over everything and everyone of the
world, utterly without God. Thus the term A-Theist really does
mean "without Theos", without YHWH, Deus, Zeus, Jehovah, IOVIS,
Jupiter, particularly in the intensive-singular of the elohiym
(I know, the "fundies" have a problem with different languages).
Thus, owing to their absolute power, the U.S. Government & Co.,
through their devout worship of the almighty dollar "In God We
Trust", have become, absolutely without historical compare, the
number one most corrupt most Anti-Christian Atheist world power
in history, and pre-history, of the whole human race: worse than
in the days of Noah leading up to the flood. Woe unto the empire!
So, given the extremely DIRE circumstances of this profane world,
meaning the entire inhabited earth, there is no possibility that
any "presidential election" could change anything at all, if not
for the worse (and it shall get incredibly worse, and incredibly
rapidly(!), before it only gradually gets better, so take solace,
knowing our reward is in heaven, and into the new heaven and new
earth, not of this old [4th] empire of iron mixed with miry clay;
nearly _all_ of us are going to die within the next few years, so
accept death, and prepare to enter through Pluto's outer, one-way
door into the Light: accept God's Perfect Judgment into Purgatory,
that your soul doesn't get trapped in Dark Limbo, down into Hell).
Seemingly good-natured well-meaning souls mortally-incarnate like
Mike Huckabee can talk about fighting corruption, the I.R.S., etc
ad nauseam, but like Jesus said, easier to thread the whole camel
alive through the eye of a needle, than for evildoers of worldly
power to willingly share--much less surrender--their oligarchic,
draconian, imperialistic, dictatorial power over the whole world,
all which is sustained & promoted through negative reinforcement,
the keyword here being *FORCE* and the threat of *FORCE*. They've
got absolute ownership and control over all the big Lawyers, Guns,
and Money (and not always necessarily in that order), seeing that
their devout love of mammon, their gods of gold & gods of silver,
is not merely "everything" to them, but is of the most paramount
importance of all ergo the only thing, to paraphrase Oscar Wilde.
So you see, what it's all coming down to is this: Jesus Christ is
returning to claim and enforce His unassailable throne upon Earth,
His property, His planet. Thus the earth must be purged to clear
the way for His return with the Dark clouds, just like the bible
says. Thus describes WWIII in its simplest terms: the battle of
the all-powerful ruling Atheists Vs. the lowly powerless Theists.
I.e., the battle of those without God (the U.S. Government & Co.)
versus those with God (the poor, the meek, exiguous and tenuous,
who have no Lawyers, no Guns, and no Money at all). And thus you
see the decisive advantage for the utterly powerless Theists: is
Theists have no worldly power at all, but only God Himself wields
the Almighty, tremendous Power, to nuclear and biological weapons,
and the incoming seven stadia, all necessary to resoundingly, and
to the Ages of Ages, DESTROY Atheists (until Satan is loosed again).
You see, that's the ultimate disadvantage of being an Atheist: God
is your Immortal enemy! The hand of God, the Rock of Ages, even the
Stone which the builders rejected, He shall pulverize you to rubble,
and the four winds shall utterly blow you away to global Extinction.
This is why some American Judas (be this one man, else more likely
a group of men) within the U.S. Military are of one consensus with
the subordinate kings of the earth whom they have been protecting
at the behest of she who made those agreements (formal and secret)
with them--which agreements shall most assuredly perish in flames.
Thus for the same aforesaid hour (that's one real-time hour of one
day of one month of one year--and is verily imminent this one hour
to strike), the potency behind the beast these kings are accepting.
Then how quickly the dominos fall in her incendiary wake until the
midst of the week likewise foreordained, and the interpretation is
made clear even to the most dyed-in-the-wool Atheists of the world.
Meanwhile, their thought-police are sure to continue squeezing any
dissenters out of the picture, i.e. as many who do not worship the
image of the beast, which is, at its very root, the love of money,
i.e. self-magnification and mammon-worship, namely she who in the
heart of hers she is saying I am sitting a queen, and a widow not
I am, and mourning not I will be seeing [ref. Apocalypse 18:7,eV.].

If you can believe what politicians say in public, then the answer
is that Huckabee claims to believe that life begins at conception:
But it's all merely academic at this point, seeing that the 2008
election will be cancelled, and far more importantly is the great
tribulation, Armageddon unto end of the world, is clearly imminent,
and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it, neither postpone it:
any more than they can stop the revolutions of the planets in orbit.

No it isn't. The original intention of the founders was that the individual
states (governors and/or legislatures) would appoint electors who would
then convene and choose a President (and Vice-President). All of this was
to place insulating layers between the people and the actual choosing of
the President.
It wasn't until after the 4th Presidential election (1800) that the
selection and charge of the Electoral College was changed to make it more
responsive to the people, and the Vice-President be a separate elective
office, rather than just the person with the second most electoral votes.

What a fantastic sidestep to the issue. Please answer the original question
though.
Please try to focus on the present.
"Bush's Exhibit A for Torture"
"At the heart of President Bush's defense of torture lies Abu Zubaida.
Bush has described Zubaida...as a major al Qaeda figure who resisted
questioning until the CIA applied its "alternative set" of interrogation
procedures -- and who then provided crucial, life-saving intelligence.
Indeed, Bush has been personally invested, for more than five years, in
the notion that Zubaida's capture and interrogation were momentous
achievements."
[w00t! More than 5 years of lies 'n Bushshit.]
"evidence uncovered by Suskind suggests Zubaida was a mentally ill minor
functionary, who under brutal questioning sent investigators chasing
after false leads about al-Qaeda plots on American nuclear plants, water
systems, shopping malls, banks and supermarkets."

And I point you to a video that shows you a clip of the first few minutes of
the movie "Blackhawk Down" (or you can just rent the movie to watch), an
event that happened while BillyBoy BJ Clinton was in office. The Rangers
wanted to intervene in the slaughter, but orders from "higher up" (hmm,
Oval Office perhaps?) prevented them from getting mixed up in the incident.
Now tell me how the torture of a "scum" terrorist (whether sane or crazy
(which most of them are anyway, but that's beside the point)) can ever
compare to a whole crowd of starving innocents being slaughtered trying to
access food that originally belongs to them anyway while superiorily armed
troops are forced to sit by and witness it just because the CIC in charge
at the time thought it wasn't a good idea to get involved?
So, what say ye about that, compassionate liberal?
I say you've drank too much Fox News KoolAid and swallowed it all
hook line and sinker.
It's always amazed me that people like him exist. I've just
assumed they all came from the shallow end of the gene pool.
Hmm, is that the best "insults" you boys can come up with?
BTW - how come Billy Bob was crying like a little girl in that picture I saw
of him today?
Heh, maybe he was reflecting on his lousy Presidental legacy?
That wasn't meant to be an insult. I'm serious. People that
actually believe that stuff are not mentally competent. They
probably have some kind of brain dysfunction.
At least the "loony libs", unlike you rightard wingnuts, have enough
intelligence to recognize bullshit when they see it. And Sonny Jim,

As if you actually give a shit. But it's really quite simple, Sparky,
although apparently still a bit too complicated for your average
rightie. Torturing prisoners is not the way we do things in America.
If you're going to condone that sort of thing, you might as well shit
on the constitution and use the flag to wipe your ass, because you've
just taken everything this country supposedly stands for and tossed it
in the dumpster.

>So, what say ye about that, compassionate liberal?
It obviously hasn't dawned on you yet, Skippy, but there's a bit of a
distinction between taking no action to stop the bad guy and *being*
the bad guy. At the moment I'm typing this (and at the moment you're
reading it as well), someone somewhere is dying because someone else
did nothing. It happens every day all over the world. Regrettable,
yes, but that's life.
No one ever said Clinton was a saint. In fact, he has to claim
ownership of more than a few notable fuckups. But .. and here's the
rub, Sunshine .. Bill Clinton is no longer President. Hasn't been for
quite a while now. He isn't responsible for the bullshit that's gone
down over the last seven years or so. Your guy is. 9/11, Iraq, Gitmo
.. all Bush's babies, not Clinton's. And like it or not, Skippy, the
transformation of this once free country into a totalitarian rogue
state that attacks other nations without cause or justification,
imprisons people without evidence or due process, tortures its
prisoners and spies on its own citizens, a nation now feared and
despised by the entire civilized world, didn't happen on Clinton's
watch. It happened on your guy's - with the full support and approval
of feeble-minded ditto-head imbeciles like you.
Now take your idiotic Faux News horseshit and shove it up your ass
(assuming you can get it past your head). I'm not having any.
A sentiment that would make Joseph Goebbels proud.
Heh, the "Communist New Network"
BTW - who would trust a news network anyway who writes software (when it in
fact works) that regularly spies on the person who purchased it?

It's not relevant.
(Or should I get started on Nicaragua now?)
The US is a torture state. Systemic, legal torture; secret prisons,
secret renditions, and a revamped Justice Dept. with shiny new "laws" to
protect the guilty.
" Legislative bodies, if still in existence at all, are cowed into
rubber-stamp submission with occasional ceremonial opposition. The
judiciary tends to become activist in support of state views. The public
often looks away, or even enthusiastically approves as rights are
stripped away."

It's in the Geneva convention look it up. But since were the only ones
following the convention none of the Arab states are then why should we. If
a country we are at war with follows it than so should we but if an enemy we

It's not there. If you believe it is, then show us.

The USA is not following the Convention, but we should because we
are better than they are.

Who are we at war with? The asshole that was appointed president
of the USA invaded a country that was of no threat to anyone.
That's an occupation, not a war. If it was in retaliation for
9/11 then we should have invaded Saudi Arabia.
We should follow the Convention because that's what civilized
countries do.

When that happens, we'll deal with it.
They already are sniping at our troops from mosques and were not taking the
mosque out. And what you must be wrongly interpreting from the convention is
article 4 which applies to civilians i.e. no torturing of civilians but the
terrorists aren't civilians so article 4 doesn't apply. But I'm not even
sure if the US signed off on Article 4 of the convention.
You mean like the waterboarding? The use of torture is forbidden. You
might want to look that up.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, Rick, but your opinion is that of
an idiot.
Even

I say don't invade a country that is likely to have dudes shooting from
mosques unless you like taking bullets up the wazoo. You're just
whining about the U.S. having done something stupid in the first place.
I would snipe at troops invading and occupying my country too.
Instead of shooting back, why don't we just leave? Then they
won't be shooting at us any more.

I've wrongly interpreted nothing. The terrorists ARE civilians.
Just claiming they are not doesn't make it so. We, the USA,
should not be torturing anyone. It doesn't work, it's barbaric,
and something a civilized country does not do. I don't give a
shit what convention or part of a convention anyone signed;
torture is not something that should be done, for any reason, to
another human being.
Didn't the U.S. do just that against the British?

Anyboy got the quote from RUTHLESS PEOPLE handy?
Never mind, found it:

Technically, there wasn't really a U.S. at the time. They were
sniping at their own countrymen. The British complained about
those snipers being uncivilized and fighting unfairly. They also
complained about them not wearing uniforms.
That makes me smarter than you.

You have the intellectual prowess of a lemur. Is that the best
you can do; shoot those that disagree with you? Or to you just
want to shoot those that are more intelligent than you? Don't do
that, you'd be the only person left...... well.... you and bush
would be left.

From the "You Know You've Been Reading Too Much rec.arts.tv When"
file: I read that at first as the British complaining because
they weren't unionized.

No?
What are we waiting for? Bring out the pliers, the Judas Cradle, the molten
lead, the rack, the Breast Ripper, the Head Crusher, the Maiden, the Spanish
Tickler, and so on. Get busy.
Next stop - rape their babies, then put them through the meat grinder. No
one signed anything prohibiting it, have they?

If you weren't wearing a uniform back then you were the bad guy to the
British.
Only a tard would think defending ones self is stupid.
That's ONE of the criteria to decide if someone should be considered a
POW as opposed to "just a common criminal aka 'unlawful combatant.'"
There's also other things that can make a person a POW.
See http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/91.htm for the full wording.
Now the convention also says:
"The present Convention shall apply to the persons referred to in
Article 4 from the time they fall into the power of the enemy and until
their final release and repatriation.
Should any doubt arise as to whether persons, having committed a
belligerent act and having fallen into the hands of the enemy, belong to
any of the categories enumerated in Article 4, such persons shall enjoy
the protection of the present Convention until such time as their status
has been determined by a competent tribunal. "
To me, that basically says "if there's any doubt, they should be treated
as a POW until/unless a tribunal decides otherwise" and NOT Shrub's
"they're not a POW simply because I say they aren't."

Agreed. Even if we WERE following it, torture still shouldn't be used.
They might not have the constitutional rights that citizens have but ALL
humans should have "certain unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" and there are some things
that a civilized people should not do to other people.
Would you like to re-word that into something that makes some sort of
grammatical sense?
And the terrorists are simply trying to defend themselves (from their POV.)
They are and if we didn't invade their country they wouldn't be
shooting.

And 98% of Iraq doesn't want us there.
Torture does not work. And your next statement reflects more
poorly on you than any terrorist.
It would take someone even dumber than that to think that
invading Iraq was in any way defending the US.
During the American Revolution the Americans executed soldiers not in
uniform all the time. At least were not doing that to the terrorists at
gitmo.
The Terrorists want sharia law nimrod and the Afghani's and Iraqi's don't.
Someone saying that they're only defending themselves don't know what's
going on in the middle east. Even after 911 that shows how deluded the left
is.
Civilized people do. And you know..... if we weren't fucking up
the Middle East, there'd be no terrorists. Bush is the real
Deluded or more informed?
That doesn't mean you have to oblige them. And only a complete
moron would actually believe that the US invaded Iraq because of
some terrorists, "Islamofascist" or not. The whole world knows
the US invasion had NOTHING to do with 9/11 or terrorism, or
WMDs, or anything else. Only a few fucking idiots in the US
actually believe the BS that they have been told to believe.
Bush hasn't fucked up anything how many times has the Palestinians been
offered a state? The Palestinians can't even manage what they have now with
out killing each other. And water boarding hasn't killed anyone or severely
debiliated one single terrorist.
If they wanted us out all they have to do is ask and their leadership and
local councils haven't said Yank. In fact our cooperation with local sheiks
in western Iraq once thought of as one of the most dangerous places in Iraq
have turned the tide there since the surge started.
Bush has fucked up everything he's ever been involved with.
They have.
Aren't the "insurgents" defending themselves, Rick?
Mike, you're trying to torture the guy.
