Maybe because it is the right wingers, such as Huckabee, who are the ones who want to morph the Constitution into a religious dictum.
----------------------
You know contendah, when you get going on homosexuals you come across just like bill or a huckabee type. So it's wrong for them but OK for you? Got it. Oh, and the right can't mention religion but pelosi, hillary, jackson, all that bunch can go into churches and tell them how jesus wants them to vote for democrats.

The theocratic sector of the right wing does far more than "mention religion." And pray tell, who is saying that "the right can't mention religion"? The right is replete with representatives who mention religion all the time. You need to get yourself better educated on where these theocrats are coming from. Surely you do not consider Huckabee's ideology, below, as simply some kind of "mention" of religion!
From the arch-theocrat of Fox News:
"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that’s what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family."
Are you ready, Best, for Huckabee's Constitutional reforms?
--------------------------
No, I'm not ready and I'm not worried either because it won't happen. Again, your views line up more with huckabee's than mine. I say the right can't mention religion without the wrath of the left falling on them. I don't agree with all that either, but for one side to use religion just as much as the other, yet get a pass on it, is just wrong. I want religion out of politics, and that means both sides using it and one side attacking another for that use needs to stop.

So now you have migrated from your previous all-subsuming assertion that "the right can't mention religion" to the Revised Standard Version of Bestworking, namely that "the right can't mention religion without the wrath of the left falling on them." From the absolute to the qualified-- good for you, Best. And perhaps you will think twice the next time before venturing into that kind of insupportable, dogmatic, and absolutist assertion.

Frankly , I don't really give a damm if the right, or the left mentions religion, or anything else, as long as they don't attempt (as Huckabee has tried to do ) in forcing their particular beliefs on our laws in some form of stripping of existing Constitutional rights of citizens.
Our Constitution has only ever had one, and only one amendment that stripped away rights, and that resulted in one of the biggest crime waves in our history.
We don't need any more "thou shalt not" laws.
Leave people and their private lives alone !
