Last week I was surfing youtube and unfortunately found my way to a FoxNews video from June of 2008. They're talking about/bashing Barack Obama in whatever way when Mike Huckabee brings up Obama's comments about the sermon on the mount, which he claims Obama said is outdated (which is true, in the sense that it doesn't fit any dating period). Colmes quickly corrects him, saying that Obama said that the defense department wouldn't be able to stand under the sermon on the mount (I did read that part of Audacity of Hope). Huckabee attacks this view saying that the sermon on the mount was "never intended for use in civil government."
Check at about 1:40 in the video.
The funny part of it is that Huckabee is a Christian. When he said that, I immediately thought, "That's the whole point!" You don't need a civil government if we're following Jesus and his example. If we're serving each other and considering others better than ourselves we'll work Obama and all his political pals out of their jobs. I'd that Mike Huckabee contradicted his beliefs on air and should've quit his job right then.
As Christians, our allegiance is to Jesus Christ first. Ultimately, it's supposed to be our only allegiance. Not your job. Not your country. Jesus.
Peace.
