Rush played a clip from Mike Huckabee today that is quite informative. Asked, “Give me two examples, Governor Huckabee, you’ve not previously given, one on health care, one on education, where your faith would define change you want to see in policy,” he responded:
The two overriding principles are, you treat others as you wish to be treated, as it relates in health care, that means that we recognize that a person who is sick shouldn’t be treated differently because they’re in poverty than a person who has extraordinary wealth, that we have some sense of balance in how we approach that. That’s the essence of what America is about…
Rush pointed out that you could have gotten that answer from John Edwards. It’s a confusion between the Golden Rule and the Communist Manifesto.
Dear God: Save us from those who would take our liberty in Your name.
