Once again, the former preacher and pastor, and now Fox Propaganda Network liar, Mike Huckabee, has outdone himself as a professional asshole by public shitting all over the victims of the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, suggesting that we shouldn’t be surprised by this senseless act of violence, since we do not have religion in public schools.
Mr. Huckaee’s passion for sticking up for the insurance companies over sick children is now well known, and his willingness to display his hate and ignorance towards gay people through his public support of a ‘national Chic-Fil-A’ appreciation day’ is no longer news.
His recent remarks though, are so far off the chart, it baffles the mind. While families and loved ones of these innocent, child victims are struggling to cope and make sense of this barbaric act, there are politicians, law enforcement officials, and mental health professionals trying to find answers not just to why this happened, but how to prevent it or turn the tide in what is now becoming an all too familiar nightmare in this country. Ordinary citizens across the country continue to offer their prayers and condolences and messages of support, and many are engaged in meaningful debate as to how to help curb this crisis.
Mike Huckabee, ex-preacher, ex-pastor, ex-governor, and current republican propaganda megaphone, is blaming our constitutionally backed secular institutions and the victims. Instead of offering words of comfort through scripture – like you might expect a preacher to do – he is offering words of judgement. In this disgusting man’s mind, we shouldn’t be offering comfort or questioning how we can make deadly weapons less accessible or how we can care for the mentally ill better. In this laughable excuse for a pastor, politician or commentator, we are to somehow blame ourselves because we have supported the constitutional separation of church and state and therefor, brought this on ourselves because “we have systematically removed God from our schools.”
Mr. Huckabee, perhaps instead of worrying that we have removed God from our schools, you should be asking yourself how you removed God from your heart, if you even have one. How dare you pretend to know of God when all you do is spew hate and intolerance and promote greed. You are less than a joke anymore, you are nothing more than another pathetic, delusional man like Pat Robertson, who has imaginary conversations with a god that reinforces your bigotry and simple world views.
If we were following the Old Testament teachings of an eye for an eye, perhaps a fitting punishment for you would be for you to choke on a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, or be impregnated by a gay rapist, or denied coverage from your health insurance provider for your future diabetes because of your preexisting condition of being a gluttonous, greedy asshole. Perhaps worse.
We can only hope. But in the mean time, could you do preachers, teachers, politicians, commentators, and most of all the victims of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, a favor, and shut the fuck up !
