Mike Huckabee thinks poor babies should starve to death

because he's fat.

The more iron-stomached among us who somehow summon up the courage to pay attention to what ubermensch like Arkansas hillbilly, bass guitar-playing hipster and former fat sack of shit Mike Huckabee say may remember last week , and I quote (more or less) "Natalie Portman is a filthy slam pig who shames Christiandom with her wanton fornication." 
"But there aren't really a lot of single moms out there who are making millions of dollars every year for being in a movie," Huckabee said. "And I think it gives a distorted image that yes, not everybody hires nannies, and caretakers, and nurses. Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing, and it's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock." Media Matters

This was right around the same time he was busy , like some common part African Muslim part Christian Socialist non-Boy Scout and Rotary Club-attending half man half alligator mutant hybrid. His words, not mine (probably)...



Pay attention to that second to last line in the block quote, which I've conveniently journalisted for your bloggy eyeballs up above. "...if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care." 

Interesting. As many of the commenters on this Crooks and Liars story on the subject have pointed out, isn't cutting government assistance the only reason that tubs of magic book-powered man deuce like Huckabee get out of bed in the morning? Like literally the only thing they care about? So what's the lesson here then? Mike Huckabee, one time and future presidential candidate wants all poor babies to starve to death.

The only thing that would've made that better is if he would have said - "if it weren't for our great educational system, these children would be illiterate. Now let me tell you my plan for balancing Wisconsin's budget. First, cut funding in half for the department of education. Then, invest in baby making industries, not baby killing industries. No more plannned parenthood!"

The attack on Planned Parenthood is basically the same kind of counter intuitive ridiculousness isn't it? We don't want abortions! We don't want people having access to birth control!

Um.

I love to see rich fat pigs such as Huckabee leave their million dollar homes get into their cars that cost more than my home and drive to their multimillion dollar churches wearing their expensive suits as they proclaim their wonderful Christianity and verbally assault those less fortunate such as the average unwed mother. I doubt that he can honestly say he never committed fornication in his life. If he is a devout follower of God I am a space alien come here from beyond our galaxy.
He thinks everyone else should do as he desires while he does as he pleases.

Yeah, but, he's a man of faith, so...
