We disagree on the imminent danger. I do not think the Islamofacists
are the immediate danger in the US. I think they fall under the "over

immediate threat to our society.

BTW, a few terrorist attacks, while indeed frightful, will not topple
the US. As I've said many times, if someone wants to hit us, they
likely will. No defense is 100% effective, "at least" while
maintaining individual freedom.-

I don't think Huckabee is about to topple the US.

I think the fundies are working on it. Huckabee is a fundie. Melding
government and religion (*their* religion), using the Constutution at
the federal and state levels to *deny* rights rather than *insure*
them, and so on, are not positive steps IMO.

But, religious agendais only part of the reason I
don't support him. Who wants a President whose anme
sounds like Huckleberry Hound and looks too much like Gomer Pyle?

The people who went to the causcuses in Iowa, apparently.

having been born in Des Moines, I simply ask not to confuse ALL Iowans
with a few of the whackjobs that supported this southern-fried jackass.
Iowa is a fairly moderate state, despite the rantings of many so-called
politico-journalists (like Russert or Matthews).
