In response to former president Jimmy Carter's statement that the Bush administration's foreign policy is "the worst in history," Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckaby of Arkansas has withdrawn from participating in the upcoming New Baptist Covenant Celebration organized by Carter and Mercer University. Huckaby also stated that the roster of speakers "does seem to tilt left." Those are diplomatic words considering the Carter and Mercer University represent about as far left as you can go.
Speaking of diplomacy, Carter showed none in his vicious attack on the Bush administration. Whether or not he agrees or disagrees with the policy of the White House, he should have known better. His withdrawing his words carries little weight after the fact. I commend Huckaby for his stand on both levels, the lack of diplomacy from Carter and the liberal agenda by these professed "Baptists." You can read the entire story on Baptist Press.
My commendation of Huckaby should not be taken as an endorsement of Huckaby. It is too soon to make that call. But it is refreshing to see someone out there willing to take a stand that I deem to go beyond simply politics. Kudos to Mike Huckaby!
