As always, Jay brings us some great stuff! Don't forget to go to the Stop the ACLU! site for all the great stuff this week!

Huckabee Unaware of Issues Between U.S. And Cuba
Huckabee is starting to scare me. How could someone that is running for President be unaware of "issues" between the U.S. and Cuba?
Tax Hike for Christ Mike
Huckabee blames raising taxes on people not giving to charity.
"I'm often asked why taxes are so high and government is so big. It's because the faith we have in local churches has become so small. If we'd been doing what we should have — giving a dime from every dollar to help the widows, the orphans and the poor — we now wouldn't be giving nearly 50 cents of every dollar to a government that's doing … what we should have been doing all along."
Huckabee has a long record of raising taxes. The buck stops at his desk on that, but in a sense, he passes the blame back to the people. Perhaps we all should give our ten percent. But what Huckabee is saying here is that if we don't give it voluntarily, then the government will just take it from it from us for government crutch programs. After all, thats what Jesus would do. Right? This is the kind of stuff that feeds my fear that Huckabee would use the government to force his morality on all of us.
ACLU Disappointed: FISA Court Denies Access to Wiretap RecordsWriting for the court, U.S. District Judge John Bates refused:
Huckabee: Women Should Submit To Their Husbands
Its a literal interpretation from the Bible, but...maybe not the best statement to have to defend when women voters are already leaning towards Hillary.
ACLU Claims Religious Test "Proposed as a Necessary Qualification" for President
If you can't win your issue by the strength of your argument… then lie. Apparently that is the tactic of the ACLU if a recent "ACLU's Diary" entry on the DailyKos by T. Jeremy Gunn is any indication. With all the talk of religion surrounding the various candidates for the GOP nomination for president lately it has obviously been driving our ACLU Director of Freedom of Religion and Belief out of his gourd. (Though, one is excused for thinking that his title is a bit misleading for it should probably be a Freedom from Religion and Belief, but be that as it may…) Gunn goes off half cocked over the supposed forced imposition of religion on the campaign for president.
The lie concerns Mr. Gunn's shot at Romney claiming that he and others have created a new "religious test" as a qualification for a candidate in contravention to the Constitution.
Read the whole thing...Another thought, if the ACLU are not liberal...why do they only blog at liberal blogs?The GOP Debate: Who Won?
Fortunately I missed the dull debate today. I would like to know who won though. I've gathered blogger reactions I could find, and found a lot that says Romney won and a lot that says Thompson won. Sounds like the debate faired the best for those two. I have put up a poll asking who won. If you got a chance to see the debate, please come over and give a vote to who you thought the winner was.
Fred Thompson Apologizes to Huckabee
Heh! Don't look now, but I think Fred is on a roll.
House Votes to Outlaw CIA Waterboarding
222 morons had rather have blood on their hands for following a moronic moral code that is politically popular than to do whats necessary to save lives when it comes down to it. No matter, this bills final fate ends with the President's veto pen. I have a feeling we will soon all be missing President Bush on some issue.
Judge Robert Bork Endorses Romney
I'm still a Thompson guy, but this is a pretty impressive endorsement.

Democrats Vote Yes to Ramadan, But No to Christmas
If you haven't heard about this yet, you should inform your readers. 9 Democrats voted "NO" votes on a resolution to honor Christmas and the Christian faith. They voted yes in the past to honor Ramadan, an almost exact resolution. Of course there is no war on Christianity though... This has got to make the ACLU and CAIR super proud.
Fred Thompson Hands Down
Thompson is building up momentum from his performance at yesterday's debate.
