#1 The more I see of Huckabee, the more he seems like an idiot.

#2 I do not think he can be President. It was worth a try tho.

#3 I went to his campaign blog and commented at how he has turned into a back stabber of Republicans, and of course the moderator never posted the comment.

#4 The United States is hated precisely because it is so generous. Think of the difference between the French and the Germans; the French are ashamed of being rescued while the Germans feel no shame in being defeated (that they can blame on the Nazi party putting whatever spin on the topic they choose).

The Arabs never give a dime to anybody - not even their muslim brothers - and they get a pass. So do the Chinese.

#5 If Huckabee is the Republican nominee for prez in 2008 then the Republicians lose the WH, regardless of who the Dems nominate. Deservedly so, I might add.

#7 Good news for Thompson: Iowa Congressman Steve King just announced his endorsement of Fred Thompson. The Romney folks were all geared up for the well-known and admired conservative's nod, and they didn't get it. K-Lo, at NRO, gave the news in a one-line sentence. Nothing yet at Hugh Hewitt's blog. Heh.

#8 Fred is the only real conservative of the pack.

#9 The Muslims give plenty of charity money to their brothers to become jihadis, Excalibur. Of course, that doesn't improve the situation for those in the vicinity.

#10 Muslims give charity only to other Muslims. Americans give charity to everyone, even those who hate us and want to kill us.

#11 Excaliber's statement,

"The Arabs never give a dime to anybody - not even their muslim brothers.."

Needs some nuance. The Arabs were evidently very generous with funding for the Carter foundation and the Clinton library. Of couse you could say this was 'buying' rather than 'giving'.
