The Nation's Pulse

Merry Huckabee

His inoffensive ad threw leftists into an apocalyptic tizzy, and helped to cinch Iowa.

(Page 3 of 3)

These people and organizations are essentially anti-religious -- and especially anti-Christian. They seek to enforce a cultural orthodoxy in which America is effectively devoid of any and all public displays of religious faith.

That they are succeeding in enforcing this orthodoxy -- even on unsuspecting Americans of religious faith and good will -- is cause for concern. For as President Washington once wisely observed, "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports." (Like Grant, Washington of course also served as the nation's top commanding General at a time of war.)

Added President John Quincy Adams, "The Law given from Sinai was a civil and municipal, as well as a moral and religious, code."

By making public recognition and public celebration of our rich Judeo-Christian heritage forbidden and taboo, we risk losing, or at least seriously undermining, one of the key foundational elements that has sustained our Republic for more than 200 years.

More than a few Americans -- in Iowa and elsewhere, and not just members of the so-called religious right -- understand this. So, too, does Mike Huckabee.
