Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee told a group of evangelical and social conservatives on Friday that the economy and security are national concerns but the country can’t get back on its feet “until it first gets on its knees and repents” to God over its moral failings.
The former Arkansas governor also used his appearance in the southwest suburbs before the Freedom’s Journal Institute for the Study of Faith and Public Policy to ridicule the recent Supreme Court decision that outlawed bans on same-sex marriage, calling the judiciary the “Extreme Court.”
“I would suggest that (when) man believes that he can redefine marriage, it’s apparent that man believes he has become his own god and this is a dangerous place for America to be,” said Huckabee, a Southern Baptist minister.
The American people need “a morality clarity, based on the objective truth that some things are right, some things are wrong, and without a moral foundation, our great republic cannot stand because it was based on the notion that we self-govern according to the laws of nature and the laws of nature’s God,” he said.
