Huckabee's motto ("Faith, Family, Freedom") has a nice Fascist ring to it....

[blitzen]

so he'll probably win the Repuko-Fascists nomination.

It's pretty much a rip-off of Vichy France's "Work, Family, Fatherland"--itself a perversion of the French Revolution's "Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood."

[AX10]

1. He'll win it with that BS.

[Kutjara]

2. Indeed, or "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer."

Everything old really is new again.

[blitzen]

5. yep, that's the prototype of the three-word fascist motto

i expect Rudy to trot out some version of it

[TechBear_Seattle]

6. Kinder, Kirche, Küche

That certainly seems to fit his view of women ("Children, church, kitchen.")

[kineneb]

10. my thought as well

how...simplistic.

[Smith_3]

20. Ironic that its acronym is KKK .....

:eyes:

[silverojo]

11. That was my first thought, too

But you beat me to it.

Scary shit.

[defendandprotect]

3. The Nixon White House was actually studying the old Nazi propaganda films ---

obviously envious and finding the old stuff useful ---

Much of it seemed to have been resurrected for the Repugs ---

[Danger Mouse]

4. And of course, faith being first...

A Huckabee presidency would be a decisive step towards the dark ages, no doubt about that.

[skipos]

7. Huckabee: Leading us into the 18th Century

That seems more accurate to me.

[readmoreoften]

9. Come on. You give him too much credit. 17th Century. /nt

[Swamp Rat]

14. So do you. More like the 12th Century.

[blitzen]

15. Hey, and I'm not kidding, the 12th was, relatively speaking, one of the most enlightened...

of all centuries. Google "twelfth century renaissance" and you'll get an idea of what I mean.

[Swamp Rat]

16. Yes, it was... minus the feudal lords and the Crusades.

The trouvère music was cool, though. :D

Riches d'amour et mendians d'amie,
Povres d'espoir et garnis de desir,
Pleins de dolour et disiteus j'aÿe,
Loing de merci, familleus de merir,
Nus de tout ce qui me puet resjoïr
Sui pour amer et de mort en paour,
Quant ma dame me het et je l'aour.

Ni n'est confors de ma grief maladie
Qui me peüst de nulle part venir,
Car une amour s'est en mon cuer nourrie
Dont je ne puis joïr ne repentir
Ne vivre lié ne morir ne garir
Ne bien avoir fors languir à dolour,
Quant ma dame ne het et je l'aour.

Mais le voloir de si douce anemie
Vueil humblement et liement souffrir,
Car grant honnour m'est par li ottroïe
Contre son gré, quant je l'aim et desir.
Et s'Amour vuet que je doie fenir
Pour li amer, ce sera mon millour,
Quant ma dame ne het et je l'aour.

- Machaut

8. Hey Obama had a "Faith and Family Tour" and he's a Dem and that scared the crap out of me.

From the mouth of Huckabee it's The White Christian Faith, Anti-Gay, Free-Market Disaster Capitalism Tour. Yeyyyyy! We're free! (Except for those of us in the camps.)

[Lint Head]

12. Faith, Family, Freedom is a better alliteration when use with

fascism. :dem:

[Quantess]

13. Faith Family Freedom

are paradoxes. How can you have faith and family with capital F's and still have "freedom"?

[denem]

17. Mike Hucabee's famous fast faith fair-tax fellowships

feed and fortify fundee families for a fabulous fat-o-the-land fucking future.

[NMMNG]

18. You know exactly what he means too.

Faith RRRW style Christianity. There is no other acceptable religion, and not having a religion is simply not allowed.

Family The one man/one woman marriage, children, pets and a white picket fence. No other forms of family are acceptable.

Freedom You're only as free as the leash they have you on. And that's not saying much.

[DFW]

19. Huckabee's promise:

You vill enchoy zis candidacy ass lonk ass you do exACTly ass you are toldt!

Ach, ja, I almost forgot: all Chewish und Black foters pleass shtep into
zese railway cars für transport........

[Diamond Dave]

21. You left off the department of "Homeland Security". I feel at home, don't you, yet?

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.

Please remove your shoes and walk through our screen machine.

Welcome to the "Homeland". Feel safe yet? I pledge allegiance to the ........

[Smith_3]

22. Faith, Family, Fascism

yo....

[Smith_3]

24. or Faith, Family, Fuehrer

[Flatline]

23. ANYONE who puts their FAITH first

before my freedoms of my faith needs to be shot.

[DFW]

25. That's a little drastic

Besides, then we have to pay for the funeral. It's cheaper to
send him on a one-way trip to Saudi Arabia, where they approve
of such attitudes.

[Flatline]

26. Good point why spend $$ and waste a good bullett . n/t

[DFW]

27. Exactly. Not only that, but

After he starts preaching in public about how their religion is wrong and his
is right, then when he gets beheaded in the public square for blasphemy, then
the Saudis have to pay for the burial, and he gets to check out if they really
do award seven virgins to martyrs..........

[Flatline]

28. Nice one...
