It is dif­fi­cult for me to express exactly how much this man scares me. Not just from a polit­i­cal stand­point, but as a per­son. Even the look of him por­tends ter­ri­ble things. Per­haps he smells of doom.

It isn’t even the pos­si­bil­ity, how­ever remote, that he might be elected that scares me. A theo­crat at 1600 Penn­syl­va­nia couldn’t do so much dam­age as, say, a theo­crat at One First Street. It would still be awful, but if putting up a theo­cratic gov­ern­ment is your goal, the Oval Office isn’t the most effec­tive route.

What is really fright­en­ing about Mike Huck­abee is that so many peo­ple — peo­ple who have secretly yearned for a more reli­gious gov­ern­ment for decades — are becom­ing more vocal about their desire for a tyran­ni­cal gov­ern­ment. What happened?

But there is one upside:

If he does get nom­i­nated, vot­ing for the Demo­c­rat will sting just a lit­tle bit less.
