Huckabee: "What we have is a sin problem."

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R) weighed in on the massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. on Friday, saying the crime was no surprise because we have "systematically removed God" from public schools.

"We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools," Huckabee said on Fox News. "Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?"

This line of reasoning isn't new for Huckabee.

Speaking about a mass shooting in Aurora, Colo. over the summer, the former GOP presidential candidate claimed that such violent episodes were a function of a nation suffering from the removal of religion from the public sphere.

"We don't have a crime problem, a gun problem or even a violence problem. What we have is a sin problem," Huckabee said on Fox News. "And since we've ordered God out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn't act so surprised ... when all hell breaks loose."

Mike Huckabee is sounding more like an idiot every day.

His commentary has no relevance to the tragedy.

The real problem causing these tragedies is that some people have serious mental illness.

. . .God knows we see more evidence of that everywhere!

What are the odds this "kid" grew up playing violent video games and listening to music filled with hate and contempt.

Just sayin........

Probably about the same as the odds of him having the Bible shoved down his throat ...

Yeah, why blame guns when you can blame gay marriage?
