- The video we posted a couple of days ago by Mike Huckabee has been causing heated furor. The “sticking point” being what many have seen as a “floating cross”. The “floating cross” is actually a bookshelf in the back of the room in which the spot was taken. Huckabee said the bookshelf is just a bookshelf and shrugged off the controversy: "I will confess this: If you play the spot backwards it says, 'Paul is dead. Paul is dead.'" said Mr. Huckabee. Come on, people have we gotten so sensitive about this “separation of church and state” thing that we are beginning to hallucinate “religion” in the most common items around us ?
Here are some additional items I saw in the video that are also as “alarming”:
There were lights in the room. Jesus said that He was the Light of the world. Everyone is aware of this man’s very narrow view on Himself. He went as far as to say He was THE way, THE truth, and THE life. This exclusivism cannot be tolerated nor should it be promoted by a legitimate political candidate.
In the back of the room there was a Christmas tree. The word CHRIST is in the word Christmas. Christmas trees are also stark emblems of this particular religious event that all do not adhere to. Many were possibly deeply troubled by this intrusion upon their personal beliefs.
Finally, the “floating cross” has caused numerous people deep unsettling grief brought on by nightmares of this ghoulish symbol. How could anyone be so insensitive as to expose so many to such a dangerous aberration.
If we are so politically correct in this country that a person can't say enough of the nonsense with the political attack ads could we pause for a few days and say Merry Christmas to each other then we're really, really in trouble as a country," Huckabee said.
Catholic League president Bill Donahue said Huckabee went beyond wishing people a joyous holiday. Donahue said he was especially disturbed by the cross-like image created by a white bookcase in the background of the ad, saying he believed it was a subliminal message.
"What he's trying to say to the evangelicals in western Iowa (is): I'm the real thing," Donahue said Tuesday on Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends. "You know what, sell yourself on your issues, not on what your religion is."
Merry Jesus-Christ-is-Lord-mas
