I really like Mike Huckabee a lot. He filled in for our pastor a number of times, but if he should run as VP with Rudy, he can count me out.

He’s not sure if he could run with someone who supports murdering human life? The answer to that question should be very easy. No. One can’t help but wonder how far to the left Huckabee is willing to lean.

Not sure? Why not a definitive, NO?

I don’t think he has anything to worry about. Neither he nor Giuliani will have running mates.

Don’t worry. Rudy won’t be the Republican nominee.

Last night I was thinking of a Thompson.Huckabee ticket. That would be something I could vote for.

Should he fail to capture the Republican nomination for president next year, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says he’s not sure if he could serve as a running mate with a pro-abortion GOP presidential candidate.

Should he fail?

At the very least, Gov. Huckabee can articulate a principle as being his reason for his position. Many others cannot. Too often, they only cite "talking points" from the past few decades which do not get to the heart of the matter.

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them." - Thomas Jefferson

Our constitution of government and law was premised upon this basic idea of Creator-endowed life and liberty.

Not until that underlying premise had been sufficiently erased from our nation's textbooks and delegitimized in our public discourse was it possible for politicians and judges to consider laws to "legalize" the human "taking" of a life, whether before it emerges from the womb, or when it is in the advanced stage of disease or old age.

Eliminate the correlative ideas of a Creator of immortal life and the fact (as recognized by our Founders) that it is not humanly possible to "disjoin" that life from its liberty to exist, and the nation becomes a place where persons can be discarded merely because they are perceived threats to the independence of other persons or "burdens" to society.

The "hand of force" takes many forms, but it is always a tyrannical hand, whether wielded by a common criminal, a King, an Emperor, a Congress, a judge, or by a physician whose appropriate role is to heal and save life.

Oh, for men and women who can articulate the idea underlying our liberty!
