I think that whether someone is a Christian or not, the idea that a human life has dignity and intrinsic worth should be clear enough. – Mike Huckabee
Government shouldn’t try to dictate what art looks like or what it portrays. Last thing we want is government screwing it up, which is what they would do. – Mike Huckabee
The health care system is really designed to reward you for being unhealthy. If you are a healthy person and work hard to be healthy, there are no benefits. – Mike Huckabee
Do you realize that if we could increase just by 50 percent the number of adults who have a college degree, it would add $5 billion to the economy and it would result in a net income to the state of Arkansas of $340 million a year? – Mike Huckabee
So when we’re really addressing issues like poverty, you can’t do that without addressing the real driver of some of those, which is stable homes, families. So that’s why to me those issues are important. They’re not frivolous. They’re critical economic issues. – Mike Huckabee
I’m not against anybody. I’m really not. I’m not a hater. I’m not homophobic. I honestly don’t care what people do personally in their individual lives. – Mike Huckabee
If the Democrats want to insult women by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it. – Mike Huckabee
The fact is there are a lot of things happening at the federal level that are absolutely beyond the jurisdiction of the Constitution. This is power that should be shifted back to the states, whether it’s the EPA – there is no role at the federal level for the Department of Education. – Mike Huckabee
The Bible, however, was not created to be amended and altered with each passing culture. – Mike Huckabee
One of the reasons that Social Security is in so much trouble is that the only funding stream comes from people who get a wage. The people who get wages is declining dramatically. Most of the income in this country is made by people at the top who get dividends and – and capital gains. – Mike Huckabee
Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved. – Mike Huckabee
Jesus said, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers.’ And I think a lot of people don’t understand that there’s a difference between a peace lover and a peacemaker. Everybody loves peace, but wearing jewelry around your neck and saying ‘I love peace’ doesn’t bring it. – Mike Huckabee
I think the next president ought to invoke the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution now that we clearly know that that baby inside the mother’s womb is a person at the moment of conception. – Mike Huckabee
I’ve twice run against women opponents, and it’s a very different kind of approach. For those of us who have some chivalry left, there’s a level of respect… You treat some things as a special treasure; you treat other things as common. – Mike Huckabee
I wish we would all remember that being American is not just about the freedom we have; it is about those who gave it to us. – Mike Huckabee
A Republican in my state of Arkansas feels about as out of place as Michael Vick at the West Minister dog show. – Mike Huckabee
I think people forget that bipartisanship is really the burden of the victor, not the loser. – Mike Huckabee
Prayer’s important, not just as some kind of a metaphysical exercise, but I think it’s a way to refresh one’s own mind and motive. If you’re praying, you’re really looking beyond your own personal thoughts and the pressures that are around you. – Mike Huckabee
Things that have happened with Enron and companies like that, where they’ve squandered their employees’ pension funds, I think it has brought a new level of anxiety. People don’t feel like they can trust their employer. – Mike Huckabee
There is an increasing push to compartmentalize faith separately from our life in the public square – and it’s not possible – at least, it’s not possible if we continue the American tradition of true individual freedom, which also implies individual responsibility. Without an objective moral standard, that’s not possible. – Mike Huckabee
I’m not a reckless person, in the sense that I wouldn’t do something that’s reckless or dangerous, because I’m a pretty careful person. For example, I don’t snow ski. I did it once, and I promised God I’d never do it again if I lived through it. – Mike Huckabee
I’ve had the privilege of working with Bono for the past few years in the One Campaign to fight AIDS and hunger and disease around the world. Bono is an Irishman and a great humanitarian. And I remember him telling me of his admiration for America. – Mike Huckabee
I’m in this wonderful place of life, where everything I’m doing is something I do because I enjoy it. – Mike Huckabee
I’m always flattered when people on the far Left manufacture a new version of being ‘offended.’ They can be quite creative in finding something that hurts their feelings. – Mike Huckabee
If I had quietly retired as governor in 2007 and went into banking or something of that nature, I would have been, at most, a footnote in the story and probably never mentioned. – Mike Huckabee
