Mike Huckabee on "real America"

Story

Speaking about President Obama - "I have said many times, publicly, that I do think he has a different worldview and I think it is, in part, molded out of a very different experience.Most of us grew up going to Boy Scout meetings and, you know, our communities were filled with Rotary Clubs, not madrassas" - Mike Huckabee

So according to Mike Huckabee, if you weren't a Boy Scout from a town full of old lady meeting halls, you are not a real American. It seems as though Mr. Huckabee despises anyone with worldly experiences other than that of being a small town hick.

So, OT... Are you a real American? Or are you a city-slicker, world loving, un-patriotic flag burner? In Mike Huckabee's world, you are one or the other.

Good lord some people here draw wild conclusions.

It drives me nuts when people talk about how the only the only "real" America is the one you see on shows like Leave it to Beaver. GTFOJML897

Well he did say on a radio show recently that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, so he doesn't feel that the president is a real American, which is quite ridiculous.

I disagree with Huckabee. I think having world experiences help to broaden your viewpoints. But in the same sense, I don't like the hidden references to bashing those that did grow up with the scouts or rotary clubs. If people did grow up with that experience, I don't hold it against them. They aren't bad people either - which some of you seem to subtley suggest.

Huckabee is a brilliant politican... his strategy will make him the Republican Presidential nominee...

Educated and cultured people also wouldn't make incredibly ignorant statements like the highlighted. Do you really think so low of anyone that doesn't live in the city or follow your ideas of what is "right"? That's a shame.

Eh, this ****'s been going on forever. Mike Huckabee is not even close to the worst example of it, either.

Real American reporting in here. While some of you may be quick to criticize this attempt to distinguish those of us patriotic enough to cherish our country and those of you which don't, understand that you are inherently less able to understand his viewpoint by not being a true American. Huckabee is right, and I think he would be an excellent candidate to lead our country into the 21st century.

Huckabee is an idiot. He's always been an idiot.

No, actually he is.

I had to do a ten page paper on the man. The sheer ammount of moronic things he's said, and the moronic bills hes tried to get past lead to only one conclusion.

He's an idiot.

Were those "moronic" actions politically motivated, or did the result from the fact that he is an idiot?

They can be both.

Honestly, go to google and read some some of things he's said. Politics aside, hes just not intelligent.

A simple google search will bring up dozens of quotes that are near Palin level.

Everything Huckabee says is calculated and extremely well designed... he is quite intelligent actually... just because you disagree with his political views does not make him an idiot...

How do you know Huckabee believes that? Because he said it? The vast majority of Americans would find that concept ridiculous, so why would he say that?

He would say he believes that because his base belives that... its all politically motivated, high calculated and above all, not stupid...

He says these things now, but once he is the Presidential canidate, he will distance himself from all of these statements, just like a good politician should...

Right...well since I can't judge this "inner" Mike Huckabee thats clearly a genius.....He must've informed you about it in a super secret private meeting.

I'll just do the normal thing and judge him on his actions.

I was never a Boy Scout.Allicrombie

On topic: So, Huckabee is saying most Americans didn't grow up around educational institutions, like schools and college? So, did Obama actually grow up with any madrasah(s) nearby, or is he just using that word?

I'm almost positive now that Obama will be a one-term president and a republican will be in the whitehouse in 2 years. You guys better hope that a more moderate candidate like Huckabee gets the nomination, because it's looking like a real hardcore conservative like Rick Perry is going to end up winning the nomination.UT_Wrestler
