Those two statements do not reconcile when coming from someone promoting the figures you do.
Huckabee? The guy has no credibility.
But it's also simultaneously a natural psychological phenomenon and something people like Huckabee work to exploit. Consider some of the political arguments coming from his corner of American politics.
Conservatives support terrorism, and Operation Rescue will even celebrate and take credit for it, and because they're "conservative" or "Christian" by label, very few people notice. I've discussed this issue before; look at what happened to Dr. Mila Means.
Conservatives reject science. And that's not just global warming or evolution. The stupid argument about pregnancy and rape that wrecked so many campaigns in 2012? It was a pet argument of Dr. John Willke, the founder and longtime head of the National Right to Life Committee. What Akin and Mourdock said was not misrepresentative of the anti-abortion movement, but, rather, things they weren't supposed to say in public.
And often we find ourselves wondering if conservatism is some sort of cognitive impairment because, to put it as simply as possible, sometimes they just can't tell the difference.
Like your Huckabee article. Its greatest impact comes if we presume the arguments have the same weight in terms of daily human life. One side is upset because police are killing without any real accountability; the other is upset because people don't say enough nice things about the police. Are these really of similar magnitude?
Your argument reflects the Karl Rove tactic: Make your weakness your strength by claiming it is your opponent's weakness. This, in turn, is just a way of exploiting people psychologically by being deliberately confusing.
We knew Bush was lying about torture; now we're finding out just what and how severe those lies were.
It goes on. Day after day, in issues large and small, matters of life and death or simple pride....
Okay, the majority of the things you posted ("The guy has no credibility, Conservatives support terrorism, Conservatives reject science", etc.), in my opinion, are tainted by your own bias and ill feelings...why you have them is your own business. I'm not a fan of Huckabee--not by a long shot, I simply thought that the points he made have merit; in particular, how the policies of this country have undermined and fostered dependency among vulnerable groups...in my opinion, this was done intentionally, just like the current immigration crisis i.e. to cement the positions of those in power who can be seen as benefactors by an artificially created permanent underclass. I also agreed with him that the country needs to hear more about such stories. It is those kind of positive stories/examples that serve to bring people together.
As far as Bush goes, I detest him--and Karl Rove more so.
