A minimum wage worker today could not afford the full cost of food, clothing, shelter and medical care, that traitor state legislatures once mandated their slave owners to provide. This is in no way meant as a compliment to the traitor state legislatures.
If slave ownership were legal today, it would be an exclusive privilege of the 1%.
This fetid bag of puss bloviated at length about Beyonce and about reality tevee baby farmers, yet it is somehow unbecoming for him and other presidential candidates to be asked their opinion about a state continuing to use a symbol that is front and center in the history of the country he wants to lead and that many Americans find hateful and incendiary??
Except, they arenāt softball questions. Those cadidates know exactly who butters their bread and you know its the folks who are happy to see the stars and bars flying over the freaking statehouse. And they vote!
As an Atheist, itās tempting to believe in the concept of Hell when I hear ādemonsā like Huckabee peddling his rancid right wing jive talk. Clearly, he has no fear of eternal damnation judging from his non-stop prevaricating, and moral depravity.
(Shudders ā almost violently for a second) Oh, dog!! ā Please NOT!!
Chuck nā Huck conspiring to make DavidGregory good.
May I do something thatās almost never done here? That is put in a good word for a Republican. Namely, State Rep Brannon who is sponsoring a bill to remove this flag. Heās probably as loony as the rest on most issues, but he at least has the courage to do the right thing even though his constituents disagree and he may lose his seat. If forced to have a Republican President heād be a better choice than any of these profiles in cowardice.
In Huck logic land, as President, if it is not an issue for him personally, it wonāt be addressed through his role as leader of the free world.
NO problems with a state flying the hate banner, but boy of boy, heās has plenty of problems if you marry or love someone he doesnāt think you should.
Hypocrite!
Actual quote from my great-grandfather: āI aināt racist, I let some oāthem Darkies come up to the big house and serve me there. If I got Darkies in my house, how can I be racist?ā

Incidentally, hereās the actual official flag of the Confederacy:
Hereās the current state flag of Georgia:
The battle flag clearly strikes up a lot of emotion, but how on Earth is Georgia getting away with flying the actual Confederate flag over itās state house?
My wife used to have a subscription to a running magazine. I think it was about ten years ago they featured Mike Huckabee and his weight-loss accomplishment. He really seemed like a decent, positive guy. I didnāt agree with his politics, but personally, he seemed OK.
Well, that light in his eyes is gone. Heās just become a cold automaton, spewing conservative bullshit.
Or hit it with a drone!
Good to know! Thanks for the clarification.
