I Like Mike!

Huckabee, that is. Hello again, readers! With the primaries underway and the election looming on the horizon it seems to me that anybody who's everybody is talking about politics, so I figured that now that I'm back home and the elections are in full swing I should throw in my thoughts as well.

My favorite candidate (as I'm sure I inferred with my title!) is the Republican Mike Huckabee, and I truly hope he acquires victory in the primaries and becomes the Republican candidate and then beats whomever the Democrat is, because his policies are simply put the absolute best, as far as my concerns, of the people running. There are three major issues for me, and Governor Huckabee - a Christian pastor, by the way - thinks the same way as I do on all three of them!

He is against abortion, which is a big and important issue for me: I'm not exactly a fan of baby killing, but he also supports it in the event that no abortion might threaten the mother's life, which I feel is indeed the only time an abortion should take place, to be sure.

He also supports displaying the Ten Commandments in Public schools, which is another issue that I personally advocate because really, they are a vital part of this country's history and a vital moral code that let's face it: if everybody listened, this world would be a lot better! Teaching these values to our children when they are young is one of the most important things we can do in order to instill them with good morals for adulthood. Some people might think that this isn't so important of an issue, but I strongly disagree with them. Above all else it is a first and crucial step toward bettering our society.

And then the third policy of Mike Huckabee is that he supports creationism, which is very important to me. It is another issue of importance to our schools, to our children: if we don't teach them the Biblical way of thinking and only present them with the Darwin view, how are they going to make informed decisions about which is correct to them upon entering adulthood? Skewing the results in favor of evolution by only teaching evolution will eventually create a society of secularists who don't even believe in God anymore!

So those are my opinions, and well, I hope you can see why I support Mike Huckabee, mainly because he is a good Christian and Christianity is a very important part of my life. Believe me, with him in the Presidential office, the next four years will be pretty darn good! Have a great weekend everybody!
