Mike Huckabee, of the immigrants are taking jobs away from our unborn fetuses platform, or something completely asinine..... is well known for his incredibly antiquated views on just about everything.... like homosexuality being the demise of civilization and all, MR. I USED TO CAMPAIGN IN GAY BARS....But a little digging has revealed that his stance on HETEROSEXUAL marriage is consistent with the Southern Baptist Convention, which by the way, issued a lovely tutorial on how to avoid involvement in cults and sects, (pot...kettle....kettle...black anyone??) From USA Today:

"I affirm the statement on the family issued by the 1998 Southern Baptist Convention." What was in the family statement from the SBC? "A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ."

For those of you who were fortunate enough to escape years of Christian schooling, or the SBC altogether, that statement is a quote from the book of Ephesians, a book written by Paul. It's a selection of scripture that many progressive seminaries devote entire classes to deconstructing. It is unfortunately still a favorite scripture reading at many weddings, and in fact, yours truly was captured on video rolling her eyes during such a reading at a family wedding.

Unless by submission he means in the wife-spanking sort of way? In which case, Mikey, you're one kinky twisted fuck! I'm a gonna bake you some cookies!!!
