Wednesday, Dec 19th - Hero: Mike Huckabee

Now, this is not necessarily an endorsement for Presidency.

This is about the fact that he put out an ad in Iowa wishing the citizens a Merry Christmas and acutally saying it was a time to celebrate the birth of Christ. Big Kudos for having the kahoonas to acknowledge Christ in this politically correct world!

Of course, the media world is in an UPROAR. Hiliarious.

Seriously, the funniest thing about this is watching them all talk about the 'subliminal' floating cross over his right shoulder! The spokesman for the Catholic church is huffing about Mike going 'over the line' and even the conservative talk show hosts on Fox are asking if he's 'pandering' to evangelical christians! You know what makes this so dang funny? Everyone's freaking out about this cross (which is really a bookcase) when he actually says out loud in the commercial, 'this is a time to celebrate the birth of CHRIST'. Why would he need to 'subliminal' ANYTHING????? So stupid.

Our world is filled with a bunch of hysterical 9 year-olds fighting stupid playground fights (it's not fair, he's a doody-head, I'm gonna tell on you, my dad's can beat up your dad). The truly scary part is they are determined to take the rest of us down with them, and many of us just sit by and watch it happen. Worse, we switch the channel to see what Britney Skank and Lindsay Ho are up to these days...

So! The second kudo to Mike is the sheer brilliance of the ad. The guy has not raised a whole heck of a lot of money. He knew very well that the ad would garner national attention and be shown over and over on the National Networks. Thereby, the ad that may have cost him $1 million is now worth over $50 million (estimates) at least. Plus, he's been interviewed about the ad now (more free publicity). These interviews have been brilliant, because, face it - ol' Mike's a humorous guy. He says the 'cross' was not subliminal (because, as I say above, the whole message was about Christ), but if you play the spot backwards it says 'Paul is Dead'... The guy's just funny...

The other good outcome for the Huckster is that now, EVERYONE is bashing him. Why's that good? Americans, especially Iowans, love to vote for the guy that's getting bashed the hardest (as long as the bashee is humble and 'aw shucks' about it). Want proof? Look at Reagan, no one thought he had a chance until the hardcore bashing started. Look at Clinton - he was basically declared dead by the media. But, the more the media and Washington hated him, the more America embraced him. More recently, look at ol' GWB himself. Guess what, Huckabee is tied for the lead in the national polls. Just two months ago he was in 4th place...

"Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake." - Matthew 5:11

In closing, I will just say, again, please check out the candidates websites and get educated on where they stand. This is OUR country and we owe it to ourselves, and especially our children, to be responsible in our voting. Not just presidential, either, but local as well. No one is going to be perfect, but look within yourself to see who stands closest to your values.


Peace, Love, and GOD,
