Two more perfect examples of the mostly Christian element in the United States than Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee cannot be found. Between the two of them, they represent the acme of American conservatism, the values that form the bedrock of this country.
TRUMP'S AMERICA
Donald Trump wants a permanent underclass of brown people without citizenship, who can be exploited by agriculture, restaurants, and the sex industry. This is evident by his utterances anent Mexicans and more recently illegal aliens.
Quote: "Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he wants to end the automatic right to citizenship for all children born in the United States."
[Source: Donald Trump: No citizenship for illegal migrants' babies, BBC.]
Please imagine what would happen if that were enacted. With our usual efficiency, these children would be fluent speakers of English desperate to remain in the United States by the time we got around to discovering them and their parents, but illiterate, feral, and entirely un-co-opted into society. They would, like all illegals, depend on working for shit wages while keeping a wary eye out for the La Migra, who quite likely would magically appear just before pay day, so that their "employer" could save even more money. The attractive teenage individuals among them would be preyed upon by America's sex-industry, without any protection whatsoever, and if killed accidentally in the course of prostitutory business, easily disposed of.
Because, after all, what's more important than paying shit wages and screwing people?
HUCKABEE'S AMERICA
Mike Huckabee believes that denying an abortion to a ten-year old girl raped by her step-dad was the right thing to do.
Despite medical objections, the girl was forced to carry the baby to term. Mike Huckabee is a supporter of 'no-exception' policies regarding abortion, it turns out, and in that represents the vast majority of the Republican party as well as Republican voters.
Of course, if the ten-year old were the child of illegal immigrants, in a country where people like Trump and Huckabee were in charge, it wouldn't even be an issue. The crime would never be taken seriously as everyone involved would be wary of the authorities, medical care for the victim would be unavailable for very similar reasons, and the resultant baby would have no protection or rights either, unless the step father was a United States citizen.
In which case he would probably be assigned custody.
The best that can be said about Trump and Huckabee is that they aren't Sarah Palin.
America: the country of conservative Christians.
Lord help us.
