"Huckabee routinely warns of the threat of "Islamofascism" at campaign rallies and is perhaps the first major presidential candidate in American history to essentially call for the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Huckabee declared during a New Hampshire fundraiser in October that a Palestinian state should only be established outside of biblical Israel, possibly in Egypt or Saudi Arabia, according to the Jewish Russian Telegraph. He reiterated this position during an appearance on Face the Nation in November.

Israel and the Apocalypse

Huckabee's advocacy of forcibly transferring the Palestinians to other Arab nations reflects his close association with some of America's most prominent End Times theological proponents. Among Huckabee's leading evangelical backers is Pastor John Hagee, head of a Pentecostal congregation in San Antonio, Texas, with 18,000 members and the executive director of Christians United for Israel, a national lobbying group that organizes against a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine crisis and in favor of a military strike on Iran.

Hagee's zealous support for Israel is kindled by his belief that Jesus will one day return to "biblical Israel" to usher in a kingdom of Heaven on Earth. "As soon as Jesus sits on his throne he's gonna rule the world with a rod of iron," Hagee told his congregation in a sermon this December. "That means he's gonna make the ACLU do what he wants them to. That means you're not gonna have to ask if you can pray in public school.... We will live by the law of God and no other law."

Huckabee made a pilgrimage to Hagee's Cornerstone Church just one week after the pastor's anti-ACLU jeremiad. During the first of two sermons Huckabee delivered there, he was greeted with a thunderous standing ovation. The candidate returned the sentiment, hailing his gracious host, Hagee, as "one of the great Christian leaders of our nation."

Huckabee has also welcomed the endorsement of Tim LaHaye, the co-author of the bestselling Left Behind pulp fiction series, which tells of the coming apocalyptic battle between followers of Jesus and forces of Satan. Paige Patterson, president of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where Huckabee earned his degree in divinity, is an outspoken believer in End Times theology as well. Patterson is one of the chief organizers of the right-wing takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention. "

and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Don't read too much into it. He's a politician. He's mainly looking for votes not souls. Not to completely dump on all the Southern Baptists because I know there are a lot of good people who do great things that profess that faith... but it's really corporate a lot of thier customs are concerned with how something looks or is perceived publically rather than actually a major issue (IE homosexuality etc.). I take exception the literal word for word interpretation of the Bible when the book the way they have it even if it is the infalliable word of God was translated by man.

    Look at the majority of all these....World Harvest/SuperMegaWorld Church and then check out the percentage of all the preachers who are dirty. Daily the most prophetic exalted good guy three named preachers are found out with sexual and monitary corruption. It works for the same reason large cults work...and they vote on the same super conservative moral values because they think the world will be healed by conforming to strict social mores...when in truth, it just pushes all that stuff under the covers...it still exists, it's just not as public.

    I just wish a few of these guys would pat the religous conservatives on the head... treat them with respect hear them out and then completely ignore them once they are elected and focus on the economy. I love the fact that he's supporting the fair tax.... I hate the super conservative social mores. Not because I think it's wrong to hold those values at all I just think it's wrong for the government to impose those on the public. Everyone should be able to choose their own values and beliefs. It's not evil simply because some raving preacher says so.

    i do not read too much into it........people have been saying the end is near, since the beginning.

    besides, since i like Jesus and his teaching, i kinda of look forward to hanging out with him.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

    Scary people those fire and brimstone end-timers.

    However, is it only me that finds it kinda odd that they seem to be of the opinion that god needs help to do his will? These people's whole stance on Israel, which also arguably have played a role in the whole thing is based on the bible scenery being situated thereabouts. I digress.

    Point is, they seem to think they can just speed up the process by making a country there, screwing those taht were there, so that it can be in tune with the biblical prophecy of a restored Israel. Isn't that kinda like cheating? "If god sees what we do now, he must act, and the end will come, praise the lord!" Isn't it kinda megalomaniac to want to, and believe that you can, force god's hand in the matter?

    Anyway, that crowd and their teachings is basically the concentrated essence of everything I hate about religions. Huckabee one of them? Then I deeply and fervently hope he gets nowhere near the US presidency. These guys already have matches, they shouldn't get a gas-can too. Metaphorically, of course.

  • doesnt pretty much every Christian on earth believe in Revelations? its kind of a requirement, i think. i dont think him believing in that makes him any crazier than 90% of the people i know.


    but yeah he is dangerous for the other reasons given.

    The scariest ones to me are the ones who think they can hurry up the End Of Days thing by blowing up the Temple Mount in Jeruselem. They believe when the Jews rebuild the Temple... Jesus is supposed to come back or something. The problem is... the Temple Mount (the mosque that supposedly houses the rock from which Muhammed ascended to Heaven from) is in the way.
    So... the solution to some Christians is simple... blow up the Temple Mount and get those dirty Jews to work on rebuilding that Temple.
    ...
    I'm kinda surprized that Bush hadn't done this already. He definately seems to be one of the boys most likely to blow up the Muslim Temple.

    I've got a friend who's quite active in his local church, and led the biggest Christianity club at his university. I've talked to him about this-

    he has never met anyone who takes Revelations seriously.
