Mike Huckabee: I've Got All Sorts of Strong Opinions About How You Live Your Life
There was a Peanuts cartoon I remember. Linus was watching TV, and, without a word, Lucy entered the panel, walked in front of Linus, and turned off the TV.
"You shouldn't be watching this program," Lucy stated with Lucy-like certitude. "Just what I always wanted," Linus said to himself. "My own personal censor." Well, Mike Huckabee wants you to know he's got some opinions about your use of spicy language.During an appearance on the Iowa radio program "Mickelson in the Morning," last Friday (comments at the 6:00 mark), Huckabee said that he found it "trashy" for a woman to curse in the workplace. Host Jan Mickelson asked Huckabee, a Republican flirting with a 2016 presidential run, whether the former governor had experienced any "culture shock" by traveling from Arkansas to New York to host his own show on Fox News. "Absolutely," Huckabee said, before explaining the differences in profanity usage between the South and the Northeast. "In a business meeting ... in Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the f-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting," Huckabee said. "In New York, not only do the men do it, but the women do it!"Tell me more about what you remember of the Techno-City, Grandpa Wanderer.
"This is worse than locker-room talk," Huckabee added. "This would be considered totally inappropriate to say these things in front of a woman and for a woman to say them in a professional setting. ... As we would say in the South: 'That's just trashy.'"That's terrific. It's the height of manhood to begin carrying on like a 90 year old grandmother.

I'm guilty as well of letting curse words slip into places they should not and I have been working to reign them in.

This is useless as is Huckabee. If you want to be a serious candidate start talking about what you intend to do to shrink the Federal government, reduce debt and deficits, combat our enemies, defend the nation and otherwise reverse course and stave off disaster.
If you cannot do that, then get the hell off the national stage and shut the fuck up.

There was a woman at my lab who felt it was edgy and made a statement to say f*** in meetings. I told her supervisor that I would be up on charges if I did that in the same forum, and if he didn't stop her, I would file a complaint. He did. The cursing was bad, but it was really just the utter gratuitousness of it and the double standard applied to its use that I couldn't stand.
Regardless, what's the big deal? Huckabee was asked for a difference and he gave one. He didn't call for censorship (that I know of). It was just his opinion.
And yes, he's a complete twit.

Why is it wrong today for an adult to say out loud what's right and wrong or what's good and bad behavior?
We act like animals today because no one speaks. We are enabling society. Too enabling. Too tolerant of bad behavior. It's okay with me when someone has the balls to stand up and say hey, that's not okay to do that.

Indeed. I'm from Arkansas. I went to school with NYers. This IS one of the culture differences. Not that people don't curse here, but it isn't the same. Also, the hugging that Ace hates? We do that.

If you use the same word over and over again in conversation, when you hear yourself, you sound like a moron. Swearing is the same way, it is odd, but we accept dropping the F bomb more than we do someone saying "like" or "You know".

The F word is a great verb, adverb, noun and pronoun. It also gets the point across. As in the time my boss told me to check in on my cell phone daily while i was on vacation, I inquisitively asked him, "What are you? F*cking nuts?"

At my last job managerial meetings were like gab sessions with the merchant marine. But they made a point of telling us not to swear like that in front of rank and file employees because it did not "project the right image." I pointed out in a meeting how that did not make any f*cking sense and was told essentially to shut up. Still fun though.

And it's not surprising that a Southern Baptist would notice a difference in his climate when going from Southern Baptist World to NYC News Office Land. And one of the differences might well be the saltiness of the language.
Am I supposed to be upset at the word "trashy?" Is that why I'm supposed to be offended? 'Cause I'm not.

I think this varies a lot according to corporate culture and region. I've heard the F-bomb dropped more than a few times in professional settings. But these were usually fairly extreme circumstances where a team had well and truly screwed the pooch and were justified IMO given the seriousness of the situation.

I mean, if you had Al Sharpton type Democrats constantly running and getting airtime saying crazy things, eventually people start associating the Democrat Party with these types of candidates.
It's not that I have a problem with these views, I probably agree with most of them, the difference is Huckabee is not a televangelist. he's running as President of the United States and selling this as "conservatism".
Unfortunately, too many people associate conservative political ideology with extreme religious views and how they are inserted into public policy.

Frankly I see this as a bit of pandering kiss ass garbage on Huckabee's

him about the culture shock from moving from Arkansas to New York. Iowa
does not enter into that unless you want to flatter them as being so
much more polite and proper than those crude New Yorkers.

Huckabee might be, but I think most voters have moved on.
He shares Santorum's fatal flaw - I'm not saying it's universal to So Cons, just these two poster boy not-so-hardy perennial candidates: he can't seem to resist the red cape on low-priority shit. The media matodors these guys into some tangential discussion on profanity or bestiality every damned time. They know it's going to happen, but they just have to say something instead of having some pat blow-off response and moving on to stating their talking points and message.
There are a million things I don't like about today's culture, politics, etc.. I'm not running for office. Nevertheless, I can get through two minutes of speaking on a topic without being drawn into the high weeds by off-topic efforts by my interlocutor - especially when I know everyone holding a microphone considers it their sacred duty to American Progress to make me sound like an ass-clown.
Christ,. NFL players do a better job than these guys.
Why can't Huckabee respond to "What's different in AK and NY?" with something like "things are a lot more expensive here. Your taxes are ridiculous."
Isn't his big priority tax reform?

I don't see it as pro-swearing so much as revulsion towards Huck's well known love of scolding. I don't want that from anyone other than my mother, certainly not my president.
Plus, Huck is lying and pandering, something he's also very good at. I've been in many meetings in the northeast and NYC in particular and the idea that people sit around dropping f-bombs and its worse than a locker room is absurd. NYers and north easterners in general may be more direct than southerns but we also know damn well what "bless your heart" really means.

I have no use for Huckabee whatsoever, but Ace's article struck me as funny. Was Ace putting us on?
I wonder if you took the folks who, like me, think what Huckabee was quoted as saying, per se, is true and ordinary and straight out of my grandfather's rulebook and most of my neighbors would agree with him about business decorum, contrasted with those who, like Ace, pull their hair and think a Christian Theocracy is imminent because Huck noted this - would the two groups show a distinct regional disparity? But what do I know? I'm an old phart and still hold the door for the ladies.
But, the biggest problem is, children who never learned how to wield a cussword. Fortunately, I was taught while young, by a large rock thrown by my step-brother landing on my skull. Released my inner sailor. Said words I didn't even know I knew.

"y'know Mr. MFM propagandist, the country is about to go belly up as a result of big government gone mad while the world is experiencing the opening salvos of World War 3 while Democrats have destroyed our ability to both defend our borders and project power to protect our allies and our interests.

I'm not a fan of Huckabee, and there's probably about 100 million people I'd rather see in the Oval Office. I like to think he has no serious chance in the race. The church lady generation is dying off.
That being said, he's not advocating anybody censoring anybody - he's just offering a personal opinion, and he's RIGHT. In the Peanuts cartoon cited, Lucy is using FORCE to push her point. Huckabee is not only doing no such thing, but he is no way advocating such a thing.
It would diminish my world to see Ace turn into one of those types that throws out stupid strawmen at people he hates. "All is forgiven", but you're totally better than this man!!

Some people don't like to hear your petty 2nd century grott talk? Let's call them "old fashioned", eh? We over here, we speaka like shit fuck piss - like fucking druids, ya know. Druids, maaaaan.
Seriously, you let off infantile cussing in my business meeting and I cancel your contract and hire someone who is a real businessman - not some punk who thinks saying "fuck" is more important than speaking clearly.
If that's common where you're from? Then I hope your pigsty keeps you occupied.

Yeah, I was watching "The Man in the High Castle" the other night and the leading lady, a well bred gal, dropped an F-bomb. This was an alternate universe postwar America, true, but it just wasn't common for your average woman to cuss like that, in this or any other universe. It immediately took me out of the story.

So far, "Sam" Adams is a swarthy scoundrel...with a heart of gold. John Hancock is an amoral greedy schemer. And Ben Franklin is a frisky cad.
In one scene "Sam" uses a boy named Christopher as "lookout" on the street. I suspect this boy Christopher is Christopher Seider, the boy who got shot in the Boston Massacre.
Samuel Adams exploited the boy's death for all it was worth to start a revolt.

I think it's just a case of ace being annoyed at a moral scold again being a moral scold. Is it a bit weak and maybe not as a direct connection to his other actions of being a scold? Yeah. But I don't think something like this would have raised ace's fur if it were coming from someone other than Huckabee.

Ryan. Santorum. Because fuck those guys, too.
That said, the people who say all workplaces aren't alike have a good point. I was getting rid of some junk today and had to go exchange a welding tank.

Agreed, but this particular bit of his platform (if you can call it that) is just fcuking stupid.
Cancer is hundreds of diseases with many different causes. Until we have an essentially complete understanding of the human genome and how genes replicate (don't hold your breath), and then know how to manipulate that (really, really don't hold your breath), it ain't going to happen.

No, this is being smart. The Left will grab on to anything to promote the story that Republicans are old fogey's who DON'T GET YOU. Idiots like Aiken and F*ckabee play into the stereotype.
Focusing on bullsh*t that we can't make laws about anyway scores an own goal. Politicians need to stay in their lane. This is how we got into this mess. Repubs, not just Dems, want to control every aspect of our lives. The voters are sick of it and want somebody to stand up for them. Huckabee is coming across as just another GOP control freak, which he is.

Huckabee isn't serious as a candidate.

Ahnold used to spout the same nonsense here in CA regarding stem cell research. Huckabee's idea that "only government spending can cure cancer" sounds like the typical Deus Ex Machina of Republican Progressives.
I'm not plugged into Pharma, but I'm assuming that the Holy Grail of private sector medical RD is curing cancer, and that it's not still around for lack of funding, but because cancer operates on a very deep and complex level that requires a shitload of time and effort, as well as money, to understand.

Huckabee cited that, stating that only government has no conflict of interest vs. cancer because it will bankrupt MediCare.
I've always been unconvinced of the idea that private industry is sabotaging cancer cures to keep its profits flush, and similar ideas in energy, etc... For one thing, there's too much money to be made for the one who gets there first on cancer, fusion, etc.. for collusion to hold things back forever. I'm a big believer in systems breaking down due to collusion (two party politics, for instance) but it's easier to wall off a political system than an economic or scientific advance. Too many competing companies, governments, individuals, and too many unforeseen events to account for.

I wouldn't vote for him, not really my kind of guy - but few are. (Patton's dead, right?)
He's not saying that he wants to institute a theocracy that jails people for cursing.
He's just saying it was a culture shock to hear foul mouthed women, and I do believe he's right to say it's especially a vile quality in women. There's too much of it.
Trashy talk doesn't belong in most public venues. I don't mind it amongst friends at the bar or whatever, but not in mixed company. Get some class, people.
After all, we have concepts like "ladies" and "gentlemen" because we acknowledge that people are supposed to be able to moderate their own behavior.

All of you are missing the point. Whether his opinion is right or wrong, talking about this *at all* is an unforced error. It's not something that's within the purview of the President of the United States. Hell, Bush I got attacked for saying that he didn't like broccoli. Never give your enemies ammo. Never.
The President's opinions on terrorism, the economy, etc. matter and are valid topics of conversation. His opinions on cussing and broccoli are not.

Josey Wales might disagree. Although that's historical fiction, the basic fact was that Missourians, living in a slave state, tended to be Confederate in their sympathies, although Missouri was knocked out of the war early on.
458 rickb -- you are correct that Missouri and Kentucky are represented on the Confederate Battle Flag. That is not the "Stars and Bars." The Stars and Bars was the official flag of the CSA.
BTW, Delaware and Maryland were also slave states, but did not secede (and thus were not subject to the Emancipation Proclamation). Kentucky was invaded by the Confederacy in 1863 to open a new front but the invasion was unsustainable from a logistic standpoint and was withdrawn. Tis is right around the time West Virginia seceded from Virginia and joined the Union.

C'mon, presidents and presidential candidates get asked these fluff questions all the time. What's your favorite/least favorite food, color, song etc. Sure they jumped on GW Bush's dislike of broccoli because he's a Republican. I'm sure nobody voted against him because they were outraged broccoli lovers.
As plenty of people have noted, there are lots of reasons for a conservative to vote against Huckabee, so this is pretty much a moot point.
I'm not in favor of asking someone to completely erase their personality because they're running for office. We do that and then we wonder why we get such mealy mouthed pols - it's because they're terrified they'll say what they really think about something and half the country will be screaming "I"M OFFENDED!!"

Where do you think unethical, deceitful, and criminal behavior gets it start? What does it mean to be civilized?
It means one follows limits on your behavior. By doing so, it is actually quite freeing. You don't spend a lot of time trying to outcuss, out-outrage, and outshock others in an attempt to get noticed or appear to be top dog.
You spend your time doing not only productive things , but in reality, you garner much more respect.
