Therefore, I suggest that if Huckabee wishes to "Christianize" the Constitution, I suggest he begin in the following set of moves: Tax companies which outsource jobs outside of the USA, use the taxes to create a Free Health Care Plan for every living American citizen, cap complete executive compensation at $2.5 Million dollars per year or 25 time the pay of ALL employees including outsourced and private contractor and sub contractor pay; cap complete executive compensation of outsourcing Company executives at $5 Hundred Thousand dollars per year.
That he also seek from all contractors, the FDR Treatment of retrieval of excess profits from contractors and 95% retrieval from "No-Bid" contractors; the use of Eminent Domain to seize the land, buildings and other holdings from Private/Corporate Prisons and the Clinton/Reno/Waco move upon all Private security firms, there is no room in a Democracy/America for Hit Squads of drugged, insane, murdering gunslingers, let them all migrate to countries where mass murder and genocide are smiled upon.
He should also Break-up all corporations with over $1 Billion in revenue, reconstruct the corporate franchising to catch up with Republican President/General/WW II Hero, Dwight D. Eisenhower's comments upon JFK's election, "Beware the Military Industrial Complex..." open the medical industry which is in control, of the practicing Chemical, Toxic quackery of the Big Pharmaceutical corporations, to the use of the natural elements for healing and throw out the constant use of Petroleum Waste Products in Medicines and limit drugs to use of field grown drugs; refuse the import or manufacture of Toxic-Death Plastic made in several countries and contaminates all products including computer products and DVD cases, toys and more.
I can think of at least a jillion things more to add, but please feel free to add your own.
PS: One more thing-that is my name on my writing, not a cowardly pseudonym, no more pseudonyms for cowardly hit-and-run bastards hiding behind mommies skirts and pseudonyms, any more here or anywhere else. Let a man's and woman's name be their beacon of integrity, courage and morality. Paul Krugman does not hide behind a counterfeit name, nor do those running for office, or athletes, only cowards and criminals hide their identities. I say either have the courage to use your REAL name or consider another field of enterprise, like hiding under your bed for the duration. That is, of course just my opinion.

I love you Big Guy, but not even a democrat is going to act like a Real Christian. If you ran I would vote for you, but the corporate rats would burn you down in no time. What you want is the return of FDR. Are you he, reincarnate?
Honestly I pray for his return as well. God Bless you, because few in politics or business will.

Yes, I've heard the argument before, that those who pretend to pursue the Christianization of America, bear little relation to the values espoused by Jesus. But that doesn't mean we should follow their narrow view of reality, and trample on the First Amendment in the process. The Constitution makes no reference to religion or God, other than to stipulate no religious tests for office, and to establish church-state separation. To talk (even with tongue in cheek) about "Christianizing" America insults the many non-Christians of our citizenry. Moreover, Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on the values you call for, or morality in general.

With all due respect, I think you missed the point. You would know that the Professor, if you have read his many enlightened articles, would never slight any religion, or lack thereof. His mode is often sarcastic satire, as here.
He gave a us a forest of logs and you selected a piece of sawdust. He is read carefully and respectfully by Congress-folk, educators and clergy and is respected by atheists as well.

You can recall those representing your district or state, b ut for details you would have to check the rules, I do not know and it may be different in each state. Sorry I could help out on this one. Rob Kall might know. Thing is that they passed the 1955 S1959 409-6 with 90%+ plus Dems voting for it, so we would have to recall almost everyone, thus giving Neo-cons easy entree'.

Professor; Thank you for your response, others GOYA
Get Off Your A**, get a pen and start a recall. If we the American people are too lazy in the mind and in the body to start a recall than, "We the people" are junk.
A recall of all 406 reps that voted yes is neither a Dem. thing or a Rep. thing. It is neither a Lib. thing or a Consev. thing. It is now a duty for all Americans.

You are welcome. I think a good many Americans in either party, like Alicia Silverstone in her delightful role in the film of the same word/name, are also, CLUELESS.
I am a hopeless fan of hers, thanks to the influence of my lovely granddaughters for which I bought the movie and they insisted I watch it with them and I fell madly in love with Alicia S.
