From the lips of America's next President:

"And nobody yet has, nobody yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak and no, not, not real enthused about what it is that that's being done on a national level and from DC in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt. And, in these areas that are so volatile right now, because obviously it's not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings, we know that now more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House. We need to know what it is that America stands for so we know who it is that America will stand with. And, we do not have all that information yet."

I'm linking to this Card essay on talk radio because I have an honest question: has Card always been this cool on Huckabee?

Many conservatives also dislike Huckabee because he believes that an inseparable part of Christianity is caring for the poor, and extends this principle to the Government. He also believes that God expects us to conserve the Earth.

Not if you buy sterilized birdfood; I'm pretty sure I've bought millet, for instance, that's been heat-treated to prevent germination.

He just needs to know that along with them comes a mess, no matter where he puts them.

Er.... yes. You will find very few obsessive-compulsive birds.

I think I broke something.

"Does he think there's no welfare available to the poor?"

Are there no workhouses?

I believe Card also believes in the government caring for the poor, but I forget what he thinks about environmentalism.
