Why Huckabee's beliefs matter...

Huckabee got his feather's ruffled when asked the simple question of whether he believed in evolution or not; suggesting that the question was not even a valid one. He belittled the premise that it even mattered by saying that as President he wouldn't be writing eighth-grade curriculum. Well, it is a very valid question and it most certainly matters.

As President of the United States of America and the supposed leader of the free world, he would be making many decisions that would affect the science that fuels information and progress in this country and the world. Not that I think that Huckabee is as ignorant as George W. Bush, but do we really need another President who can ignore knowledge and use his own belief system to make decisions? Think stem cell research, global warming and, whether you like it or not, a woman's right to decide if she wants to carry a child to term.

Do we really need to continue to diminish the office of the President by having another four years of what I consider to be mythology-based ideas? I've said before that I have one and only prayer: Jesus, protect me from your followers. I now feel the need to include the United States of America in that plea.
