You know how teapartiers have taken over the GOP and forced Republicans to give up on the culture war and instead focus on things like fiscal responsibility and individual liberty? Yeah, well, that would be nice, except it's myth -- as Mike Huckabee showed this weekend, top Republicans are still as eager as ever to impose their closed-minded morality on the rest of America:
Huckabee says ousting of Iowa judges historic move
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Sunday that Iowa voters likely launched a national movement when ousting three state Supreme Court justices who agreed with a decision to strike a ban on gay marriage.
Huckabee was in Des Moines courting evangelical conservatives who pushed him to victory in Iowa's leadoff precinct caucuses in the last election.
"The significance and historic nature of the judicial elections here in Iowa were far bigger than the borders of Iowa," he said. "It was a very important statement that voters made, a statement that resonated across the country and one that I think will give legs to a larger movement over the next few years."
The only freedom they want is the freedom for you to live exactly how they want you to live. That's not libertarianism. That's fundamentalism. And it's still thriving in the GOP.
