Funny you should mention that, Mike...

When two guys sit around in a stuffy barn wiring stuff together all day, they get to talking about weird stuff.

GC Guy wanted to know why, since I'm pathologically and passionately negative on the whole subject of government, I don't have anything against religionists - even of the most enthusiastically evangelical stripe.

I answered something like this: "People who show up uninvited on your doorstep can be annoying, no doubt about it. And yeah, their message sort of boils down to a threat, that I've got to get right with god or he'll kill me. But the difference between them and a government agent is that they're willing to leave the violence up to god - they don't bring it themselves. To their way of thinking, they're really just trying to be helpful."

Then I come home and see this. Here's perennial presidential candidate Mike Huckabee saying, “I almost wish that there would be, like, a simultaneous telecast, and all Americans would be forced–forced at gunpoint no less–to listen to every David Barton message, and I think our country would be better for it. I wish it’d happen.”

Uh huh. Rotsa Ruck with that 2012 thing, Mike. Maybe it depends on what the meaning of "almost wish" is.
