Dour Huckabee would amend Constitution to meet "God's standards"

You know, I really dig this separation of church and state thing, don't you? Sure is cool how it works!

But Mike Huckabee thinks having a Constitution informed by freedom of religion isn't the way to go. Vying for votes before a friendly Republican crowd in Michigan, an angry-sounding Huckabee said America should change the Constitution "so it's in God's standards."

So he thinks the Constitution should be changed to meet his religious views.

I'm not surprised that's what Huckabee wants to do, because you almost have to have this view to be a serious GOP presidential contender these days. It's surprising though that he'd be so upfront about it with all those cameras rolling.

Mike Huckabee is a dominionist - a person who believes the government and all its policies should be based on a right-wing interpretation of the Bible. Under dominionists' butchering of biblical teachings, every political issue is somehow worked into their philosophy, from social policy to the war to taxation. You name the issue, and the dominionists will not only twist the Bible to meet their view - they'll try to force you to live under this view.

Uh, Mike? I hear the Taliban has some openings.
