Huckabee recently said in a radio interview that Sarah Palin is wrong and instead is siding with Michelle Obama on her nutrition issues. And this my friends is why so many have concerns about the Huck. Look, no one is arguing that America hasn’t gotten more obese over the years and that it affects children more so than it used to. What we are saying is that it’s not big government’s problem to fix with legislation that takes our choices away. The burden of personal responsibility belongs to each person, and in the case of children, their parents. Well, you say, what about that single mother that has 2 jobs and is barely home enough to make dinner for her children! I say, you want to take away millions of American’s choices because there are single mothers who have found themselves in very difficult situations, either through their own bad choices or through unforeseen circumstances? I say no way. We have to get back to the ideal that there are consequences to decisions we make, whether life is fair to us or not. And in this instance, big government isn’t just encouraging us to eat healthier, they are legislating it for our children. Sure, it’s public schools today, but have you listened to what these know it all libs say? They would tell us all what we could eat if they had the authority.
I’ll prove that to you later this week or next but for now, here’s Huck with his masterful wisdom on this issue. Thanks to Radio Equalizer for catching this!
