Criminalizing Divorce

It's the path that Huckabee wants to travel:

"And the same thing would be true of marriage. Marriage has historically, as long as there’s been human history, meant a man and a woman in a relationship for life. Once we change that definition, then where does it go from there? "

Sully thinks the whole Huckabee fanaticism is dangerous,

"I don't think people have really understood the logical consequences of the fundamentalist psyche. There is nothing more antithetical to the principles underlying traditional conservatism. Eventually, the complacent Republicans will realize the tiger they are riding. Huckabee is charming. The charming ones are often the most dangerous."

But I think that he like alot of other secular religious people and northern liberals take the born-again vote, and their advocates, too seriously. There is something in the American spirit that abhors theocracy, and while we may flirt with it, especially when we think our morals are 'slipping away' there seems to be some inherent piece of the American spirit that cannot embrace it. I suppose we love our liberty and individuality more than domination and ultimately this love this the thing that rights the boat.
