Why I could never vote for Mike Huckabee, if he ran for President

Because of crass, idiotic stuff like this right here:

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee attributed the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in part to restrictions on school prayer and religious materials in the classroom. 

“We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools,” Huckabee said on Fox News, discussing the murder spree that took the lives of 20 children and 6 adults in Newtown, CT that morning. “Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?”

Law enforcement has released few details on the alleged gunman, but Huckabee suggested that the separation of church and state may have spurred his rampage. 

“[W]e’ve made it a place where we don’t want to talk about eternity, life, what responsibility means, accountability — that we’re not just going to have be accountable to the police if they catch us, but one day we stand before, you know, a holy God in judgment,” Huckabee said. “If we don’t believe that, then we don’t fear that.”

He said those suffering from a crisis from faith should look to God in the community’s response to the violence. But he added that “Maybe we ought to let [God] in on the front end and we wouldn’t have to call him to show up when it’s all said and done at the back end.”

The dude just does not use good sense. I mean, how freaking insensitive can you be?

Basically to the parents of these children’s parents, “God let your Children die, because you don’t subscribe to the same religion I do, and worship the baby Jesus like I do!”

What an asshole. This is one of the good reasons why I really do not go to Church anymore. Because of stupid people in the Church, just like this guy here.
