News from the clown car: Radio host suggests enslaving the poor, Huckabee agrees

"Huckabee Suggests Poor People Should Be Sold Into Slavery For Stealing"
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2015/1...e-slavery/
Quote:Host Jan Mickelson began by bemoaning that the “criminal justice system has been taken over by progressives.” In order to fight back, he argued, conservatives should look to the biblical Book of Exodus. “It says, if a person steals, they have to pay it back two-fold, four-fold,” Mickelson explained. “If they don’t have anything, we’re supposed to take them down and sell them.”
Mickelson went on to argue why jails, which he claimed are a “pagan invention,” are inferior to slavery: “We indenture them and they have to spend their time not sitting on their stump in a jail cell, they’re supposed to be working off the debt.”
“Wouldn’t that be a better choice?” the host asked.
“Well, it really would be,” Huckabee replied without missing a beat. “Sometimes the best way to deal with a nonviolent criminal behavior is what you just suggested.”
You just can't make this shit up. Complete with demonizing liberalism and everything! "[The] criminal justice system has been taken over by progressives" - um, no. If it *had* been taken over by progressives, it'd look a lot different than the system we have today, fucktard. Guy doesn't miss a beat.

Isn't there already some sort of work privilege program in place at some prisons?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I'm sure a lot of people agree with him. They're fucking nuts. I wouldn't be surprised to hear he rises in the polls after this.

There are many advantages to running for President. One of those advantages is that you get this really big soapbox to stand on and a really big megaphone to spew your shit from. For some candidates, this is all they want. They know they can't win but they get this awesome platform which they can use to advance their cause.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

His last name is Huckabee. How much can you actually expect?
However, I don't believe he meant sell them into slavery. Just make then indentured servants. Still stupid, but again Huckabee.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Please do not let Huckabee into the white house. I'd take Trump over this guy, as bad as he is, because I haven't heard Trump go on about turning America into a theocracy. I will leave this country. I don't know how, but I will do it.
