Funny how NO one was talking about government at all, but now that you mention it, @NetRunner, @dystopianfuturetoday and I are proposing legislation to carefully monitor the caloric intake of every single American. If your intake is too high, we starve you; if it's too low, we force feed you. And we'll force feed you Muslim food, and take away your Christian food. And then we'll all be forcibly relocated to Kenya Indonesia.

Funny how you didn't mind the tyranny of the Bush regime when he presided over the biggest expansion of government in US history, but when someone tries to make sure that no one has to die for lack of insurance then suddenly it's tyranny. I've noticed as of late you've picked up blankfist's "statist" lingo, but you didn't mind it when Bush authorized the state to wiretap without warrants.

Real freedom means people have the right to ruin their lives, and many do.
The tyrannical nanny-state alternative is far worse.

I often wonder what the next big apocalyptic date will be. 2000 had the millennium bug, 2012 is the end of the Mayan calendar. I guess 2036 will be the next big one when Apophis swings by.

@entr0py

If it's good enough for Fox News it's good enough for me!

I just liked the seriousness that Huckabee showed and calling him doctor somehow made his claims more credible. God damned nutcases.

Please correct the descriptions. Huckabee clearly said DOCTOR LaHaye. Show some respect.

Only if you think a Doctor of Ministry title granted by a seminary deserves respect. Tom Cruise may be a Doctor of thetan negation. But that wouldn't make me respect him more.

Wooooosh!

Sorry to be picky, but the Bible does quote Jesus as saying he doesn't know when the end will be. Matthew 24:36-37 says: "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son [Jesus], but the Father alone."

You are right that many Christians have believed in the Wandering Jew who will live until the second coming. Jesus/the Bible are supposed to be infallible and Jesus said in Matthew 16:28: "Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." It's a pretty interesting trick to get out of a biblical error.

So let me see if I got this correct. The Bible says that God has a set time, and not even Jesus knows what that time is.

Naw man, while Christians have to admit that Jesus said the world would end within the lifetime of his followers, they seriously claim that some secretive super Methuselah is alive today for the sole purpose of making Jesus not wrong. Jesus knew EXACTLY when the world would end; some time between 90AD and however long immortal people live.

Old "tell em' what they want to hear Huckabee"...

BTW, not blocked in Germany.

I just attended a lecture with Assanges Australian lawyers. They are seeking charges against Mike Huckabee for mental duress against Assange for calling for him to be assassinated. Hilarious.

I wonder how this isn't protected under the 1st amendment anyway. We are not in a time of war were the free speech threatens to erupt into a supreme emergency as it has in previous rescindments of the 1st ammendment protections. Furthermore, the latest leaks have done little more than embarrass and caused very little unrest.

Australias own prime minister (a former lawyer) has said that he is a criminal and has broken the law. When pressed as to what law he has broken she could not think of one as one does not exist under Australian law. However, we have our own version of the patriot act that enables ambigious charges to be laid upon undesirables. What is worst about this is that the Australian government has threatened to revoke Asssanges passport despite no crime being committed. Furthermore, the government does not have that power, it is outside their jurisdiction.

What assange has done is maybe irresponsible but hardly illegal. He did not steal the documents. He was not involved in the stealing of documents. While he may have profited from their release he has not done so in the form of blackmail etc. He has done what any journalist would do if they were in possession of these documents and yet Palin and Hucksterbee want him killed. Will that stop anything? He is merely the spokesman for an organisation.

I don't think it matters who gets the nomination. Bush was just a folksy figurehead who followed orders. I have no reason to believe Palin or Romney or Huckabee or Rand Paul would be any different. At the end of 8 years of pushing the corporate agenda, they'll just throw her under the bus like they did to Bush and find another empty vessel to carry out their will.

Perry/Huckabee 2012 y'all.

the souths getting too fat, we need to extend our bible belt all the way to washington.

Romney/Huckabee 2012

Did Stossel just ask his guest to respond to a quote of Mike Huckabee, his colleague?
