Huckabee: Schools "Become A Place Of Carnage" When "We Systematically Remove God" | Video | Media Matters for America

By Nick Wing & Paige Lavender

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R) weighed in on the massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. on Friday, saying the crime was no surprise because we have "systematically removed God" from public schools.

"We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools," Huckabee said on Fox News. "Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?"

This line of reasoning isn't new for Huckabee.

Speaking about a mass shooting in Aurora, Colo. over the summer, the former GOP presidential candidate claimed that such violent episodes were a function of a nation suffering from the removal of religion from the public sphere.

"We don't have a crime problem, a gun problem or even a violence problem. What we have is a sin problem," Huckabee said on Fox News. "And since we've ordered God out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn't act so surprised ... when all hell breaks loose."

Sooo, Huckabee says lack of school prayer is the problem...and other Republicans say more guns is the solution. I'm confused...

Since no one wants to take a stab at why these mass shootings began in the mid 1960's, I will.

http://heartofwisdom.com/blog/when-prayer-was-taken-out-of-schools/

A book called, "America to pray? or Not to pray?", was written by David Barton. In the book he makes a correlation between the time prayer was taken out of public schools and the subsequent moral decline of America.

He show statistics indicating that such things as SAT scores dramatically declined, but undesirable things escalated, such as STD's, premarital sex, pregnacy rates to teenagers, increased numbers of female head of household, people living together, divorce rates, alcoholism, and violent crime. In fact, these mass shootings seem to have started right after God was taken out of the schools. Now really screwed up children think they can walk into a school, open fire, and then turn the gun on themselves and never have to give an account.

Why isn't God doing something about it...?

He already did, you are now the problem.

God and dollar are pretty inseperable in todays world of evangellism.
They even preach that wealth is good and send me your money and god will repay you tenfold.
I have never heard of a check signed by god.

Maybe that is because you don't believe in God.

What does my not believing in god have to do with the actions and attitudes of evangelists?

Better yet, do you know the meaning of absurdity? I will give you an example of same.

I have never heard of a check signed by god.

He's only saying what many are thinking, just look at some of the posts today. Apparently, gays, abortion, and single mothers are to blame for mass shooting sprees.

I'm waiting for Pat to come out, call us Sodom and Gomorrah and talk about how those kids died because of gods wrath.

You are about a sick little twat. A female Lakota. A disgusting little thing just like every other poster who is using the death of thees kids to grab rep and attention. The culture in this country and the world has greatly declined, most of it is filled with you pseudo-intellectual types who make fun of folks, contribute greatly by being fooled into thinking you are superior to people who believe the way ol'Huck does, when really your no better. So yeah, I agree with his point. Younger people in this country lack a moral compass. Instead of parents they get drug cocktails and an xbox. Those kids did not die because, those kids died because some sick little fuck shot them.

On the bolded, we can agree.


As to the rest, I see no diffrence in those who use tradgies to blame guns and push their gun control agenda as those who use them to blame non-believers and push their religion on others.

And right to the default argument. From the president down to the mail man they will use the deaths of twenty children to push an agenda and raise money. Many here are using the dead kids memory for nothing more then attention.

Are pro-amnesty Huckabee and pro-gay Grover Norquist the same Republican Party??

And what does Mike Huckabee have to say about mass shootings at churches?

 

[ABikerSailor]

I guess the reason Huckabee would give for the theater shooting is because of all the Godless movies, right?
