LDI supports Huckabee – while holding its nose at ethnic cleansing?

Received this via my Christian Newswire news feed: Catholics and Protestants Urged to Come Together to Back Huckabee:

“Governor Mike Huckabee is the only candidate for President we can support with confidence,” said Douglas R. Scott, Jr., president of Life Decisions International (LDI). “I urge my Protestant brothers and sisters to join me in doing all they can to advance Mike Huckabee’s campaign.”

“We need to back a candidate who has a consistent record of supporting traditional values,” said Thomas C. Strobhar, chairman of LDI. “Mike Huckabee is that kind of candidate. I urge my Catholic brothers and sisters to join me in doing all they can to advance Mike Huckabee’s campaign.”

“I believe it is the responsibility of every pro-life/pro- family American to support a candidate that wholeheartedly supports life–without apology and without compromise,” Scott said. “While the only person I agree with on every issue is me, Mike Huckabee comes pretty close. And since his positions are faith-based, one can be sure he will not sell out the Pro-Life Movement the very lives of preborn children.”

“Pro-lifers have been used and abused by too many candidates that claim to be pro-life only at opportune times,” Strobhar said. “Mike Huckabee is not worried which way the political wind blows. He’s the real deal.”

“I am thrilled that there is a candidate I can enthusiastically endorse rather than holding my nose and supporting the ‘lesser of two evils’,” Scott said. “Mike Huckabee deeply and personally cares about these issues. He is the kind of candidate pro- family Democrats, Republicans and independents can support. The choice is clear; Mike Huckabee should be the next President of the United States.”

Life Decisions International (LDI) is dedicated to challenging the Culture of Death…

So I wonder if they support Mr. Huckabee’s idea of deporting all Palestinians (I guess that includes Christian Palestinians) out of Israel for points unknown in other “Arab lands.” In common terms that’s called ethnic cleansing (thanks to the Young Fogey for pointing to this).

I’m not feeling all that confident in a man who supports ethnic cleansing, deportations (and the deaths that sure accompany that sort of thing – people aren’t going voluntarily), and a continuing war in the Middle East involving our soldiers; a place we should never have gone and which we must leave forthwith.

Mr. Scott, you still have to hold your nose. The stench of death is still there – only its coming from the Middle East.

  1. Wow!If LDI’s leaders are aware of this they should be ashamed of themselves! There is nothing Christian or “Pro-Life” about de-humanizing an entire nationality and treating human beings as disposable! I cannot understand the idea many Christians have that supporting the state of Isreal justifies virtually any kind of behavior…
