Mike Huckabee - A New Constitution

Mike Huckabee has recently been proclaiming in his stump speeches that he wants to rewrite the Constitution of the United States so that it more clearly reflects the beliefs that come from the Bible. As he puts it, God's words cannot be altered but the Constitution can, so let's change the law of the land to clearly reflect Mike Huckabee's interpretation of what the Lord meant.

Daily Kos contributor Meteor Blades has done a WONDERFUL post on what the Constitution might look like after the alterations. Link to the post by clicking here - or read the brief clip below...

BILL of SMITES

Preamble
Faithful and patriotic Americans, having come to realize that our country is going to hell in a hand-basket, and expressing a desire to curtail the degeneracy and wickedness creeping across the land, recognize that salvation requires the prompt ratification of the following Commandments derived from Holy Scripture; that they be inserted before Article I of the Constitution; and upon ratification shall in every case supersede all Articles or Amendments with which they may conflict; and that, moreover and furthermore, every reference in said Constitution to the "United States of America" shall be replaced by the "Dominion of America."

Commandment I
Congress shall strike down the free exercise of any religion that has not been approved by the most sanctified committee on Fidelity, Uprightness, Behaving And Reeducation; and at all times prohibit the free speech of atheists, pagans and other blasphemers who deny the Divinity of Our Redeemer; or who say bad words publicly or when eavesdropped on in their homes.

Update: It took a second reading, but I finally caught on - the committee on Fidelity, Uprightness, Behaving And Reeducation has an acronym of FUBAR.

God, I love this post!
