I find this VERY odd:
For months now, the media puts up a caption "Ordained Baptist Minister" or "Ex Baptist Minister" on the screen whenever they interview Mike Huckabee, I've even seen this on the screen when they introduced the candidates at the first nationally televised presidential debate. Every religious question is directed at Huckabee and his past as a Baptist pastor is constantly in the forefront—NOT because Huckabee brought it up, because THEY [the Media] brought it up.
NO ONE in the Media had a problem with that THEN. Personally, I myself always found it odd since Mike Huckabee was a governor the past 11 years and hadn't been a pastor for at least 15 years prior to that. But I just figured the media wanted to demean Huckabee’s executive government experience and make him look like some country preacher who “would never get elected” because of that.
THEN Mike Huckabee starts surging in the polls and shortly after runs an ad in Iowa with the heading "Christian Leader." Now all of a sudden people like Chris Matthews of MSNBC, starts a seething rampage against Huckabee, accusing Huckabee of labeling himself a "Christian Leader” specifically to make Mitt Romney look bad because Romney is not a Christian. When Huckabee explained that is just who he is, a Christian, Chris Matthews even accused Huckabee of LYING. Then Chris Matthews says how bad for any candidate to talk about his religion and then out of the other side of his face he says he's glad Romney gave a speech about Romney's own religion.
Another case in point: Romney reacts to Huckabee’s surge by giving a speech about why and how religion should not be an issue in a campaign—YET also in the same breath Romney said he was a religious man and spoke about how his religion is so important to him.
Well, I say this to Chris Matthews, Romney, and others:
You can’t have it both ways!
It's called hypocrazy.
What is so odd to me is no one is calling Chris Matthews out on this. It would be a great way to shut Chris Matthews BIG MOUTH.

Yeah, all of these thoughts have run through my mind as well. This country that was founded on faith sure is screaming "Godless" in the media. Or is it the media screaming Godless and affecting this country slowly and insiduously?
The way some of these media guys has treated Mike Huckabee is despicable, and frankly displays where their own individual hearts are.
Thanks for your comment... I added your blog to my page!
