Perspective: Your America Isn’t The Only One, Mr. Huckabee (VIDEO)

03/07/2011 7:21 am 0 comments

This week, we saw Mike Huckabee make some amazing and stunning comments as relates to Pres. Barack Obama. Mike Huckabee said that the President has a different worldview because of where he grew up. Huckabee says that, “In our neighborhoods, there were Rotary Clubs and Boy Scouts.”

Here’s the problem with that. Mike Huckabee, your neighborhood wasn’t my neighborhood. I don’t recall a Rotary Club in my neighborhood. I do recall community centers. I don’t recall the Boy Scouts. I do recall a baseball team. The problem that we have is when people think there is somehow one view of what America is. In fact, there are multiple worldviews. And it is insulting when you have someone like Mike Huckabee, an ordained minister, someone who was governor of Arkansas, somehow suggest that his view of America is the only view.
