Fox News host Mike Huckabee says the Newtown shooting blame should not be on soft gun control laws, but on a lack of God. That the Secular-Progressives have ′systematically removed God′ from our schools. Concepts such as what responsibility means have been lost in our society thanks to Liberals and their political objectives. So is Mike Huckabee correct in his hypothesis that the reason Adam Lanza shot up the Sandy Hook school, killing 6 adult women and 20 First Graders is a lack of God? The issue of gun control laws have already been raised, but could there be a different reason?

Former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney visited Iowa for the first time this year yesterday as he prepares to declare his candidacy for the 2012 presidential race. In Des Moines, Romney spoke about how Barack Obama has failed as a president “When it comes to the economy and jobs for the American people, President Obama has failed, his policies did not work.” Romney′s speech was interrupted when a popcorn machine set off smoke detector alarms, causing a brief evacuation. Iowa has been a touchy subject for Romney, who lost in 2008 to Mike Huckabee despite spending some $10 million dollars in the caucus state. Romney attempted to distinguish himself from Tim Pawlenty on the subject of continuing Federal subsidies for corn-based ethanol production. Pawlenty opposes the subsidies, Romney is in favor of them.

Mike Huckabee consistently is ranked either as the first or second choice for President in 2012 by Republican voters. But, thus far, he hasn’t made a decision on whether he wants to seek the position. Well, that will change soon. According to Real Clear Politics, Fox News, his employer, has told Huckabee that he must make a decision by the end of this month or lose his job. Many analyst have speculated that one reason for Huckabee’s reticence in declaring his Presidential intentions is that he is paid a great deal of money for his program on the news network. Since he does not have a great deal of wealth, he has been reluctant to recuse himself from his television job. Earlier this year, two of the analysts for Fox, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, were forced off the network when they refused to make their own Presidential ambitions clear.
