Mike Huckabee is an idiot.

This dude wants to be president, however he seems to be incapable of making some very simple distinctions when it comes to evaluating certain issues. In an interview with Beliefnet.com he stated that he opposes same sex marriage because "Once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again," which of course would naturally lead to legalized pedophilia and bestiality in his view. Hmm, as a rational human being can I think of a key difference between gay sex and sex with children/animals? Hmm, this is a tough one, oh wait a second how about consent? Adult humans can give consent, children and animals can not. Seeing as how both homosexual and heterosexual sex between adults involves consent I don't think you have to be very bright to see that they are fundamentally different than bestiality and child rape.
He then followed up with this little gem "What we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards, rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family." Ok, even assuming that it is a good idea to amend the constitution to better reflect 'God's standards,' can anyone tell me what they hell they are? I'm fairly certain if you asked 75 people that question you'd get at least 75 different responses. So I guess we'd just have to use reason and logic to make judgements of what is fair and right. Gee, that sounds like how were supposed to be doing it right now, you know in a secular democracy.

Don't worry I'm not picking on just Mike, I'm planning a series of posts pissing on the field of mediocrity and sub-mediocrity that our wonderful two party system has put out there for us to choose from.
