Huckabee and the Golden Rule

everfaith

Yesterday found me in a blog-induced funk.  I’d been writing and reading and suddenly looked up and realized the time.  Praise God, life does not exist merely in the pixels I see on the screen or in these words that I write! My thoughts have been turning lately towards the presidential campaign.  I’ve been praying about and writing blogs in support of Governor Huckabee.  Many of my blog postings lately have been prompted not necessarily through Scripture, although I always try to back up my words with this authority.  But last night my reading took me into 1 Timothy, and … Continue reading Huckabee and the Golden Rule

Florida Conservatives Unite…Vote Huckabee Tomorrow!

everfaith

Since I used to live in the Sunshine State, I know at least a little about what I speak. I lived on the Atlantic side of Florida in what’s known as the First Coast. Our suburb was separated from the city by a three mile bridge. My husband’s twenty mile commute sometimes took over ninety minutes, one way. If there was an accident or construction on the bridge, he had to drive on a loop completely around the other side of the city to get home. Needless to say, he spent many so many hours on the road getting to … Continue reading Florida Conservatives Unite…Vote Huckabee Tomorrow!

Huckabee and the Goliath News Media

everfaith

In history class, we learned about the Spanish-American War and the role of so-called “yellow journalism” in ultimately pushing for America’s involvement in the Cuban conflict. Two competing newspapers, one owned by William Randolph Hearst and the other by Joseph Pulitzer II, published ever-increasing sensationalized stories in an effort to gain more subscribers. When Hearst’s two highest-paid reporters stationed in Cuba sent him a telegram saying that there was not much action, he replied with his now-famous quote: You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war. Today’s major news corporations like to think that they hold themselves to a … Continue reading Huckabee and the Goliath News Media

Why Huckabee…and the Romney Whisperer

everfaith

Many thanks to the people who put this video together of snippets of Mike Huckabee’s speeches on a variety of topics that are relevant to today. Yesterday I watched and recorded the Republican debate on MSNBC.  On two separate occasions when Governor Romney was asked a question, an obvious whisper was heard right before he repeated whatever the whisper said to say!  At first, I thought the MSNBC questioners perhaps whispered the words themselves, although I can’t imagine why they would do such a thing.  One of these such instances can be seen here: So whose voice was that?  Does … Continue reading Why Huckabee…and the Romney Whisperer

Huckabillys, Unite!

everfaith

Most polls show Mike Huckabee behind McCain, Romney and Giuliani in Florida, but he is second in nation-wide polling (see Real Clear Politics, here). You won’t hear that on most news networks. The fact that his underfunded campaign is still going strong is a testimony to the strong grassroots support he has. My mother has given me a new nickname: Huckabilly. I’m not really a hillbilly — there’s not a hill within 100 miles of where I live on the prairie — but I do believe Governor Huckabee is the best choice for our nation. Today I have become a … Continue reading Huckabillys, Unite!
