Good Huckabee show this week

Mike Huckabee had a great show on Fox News this weekend, originally showing on Saturday but my family saw the rerun Sunday night. It was a great lineup of guests that we enjoyed hearing from ... John Stossel from ABC's 20/20 ... David Barton from Wallbuilders, the Duggars of the TLC show "18 Children and Counting," and Ray Stevens playing with Mike Huckabee's band and singing a song about 10% being enough for God ... why isn't it enough for the government.

John Stossel has spoken at the past two Americans For Prosperity conferences, spreading his common sense thoughts about government to those attending as well as viewers of his show.

I first heard David Barton speak at the Home Educators Assocation of Virginia (HEAV) convention in Richmond in 2004. I was deep into the George W. Bush reelection campaign and everything Mr. Barton said struck home. We are a country build on Chritian values and those values have been slowing eroding over the years while too many people have sat silently on the sidelines. Wallbuilders offers books, CDs, and more on American history and our Christian heritage.

The Duggars are a home schooling family from Arkansas who now have 18 children ages 7 months to 21 years. We saw their first TV special over five years ago when the father, Jim Bob Duggar, was in the Arkansas legislature ... he and Mike Huckabee are friends because of that ... and the follow-up specials led to a weekly TV show. They have the values of a Christian home school family and remind us of the home schooling families we have know the past 20 years during our home school journey.

Ray Stevens was a hit with the twenty-somethings sitting in the living room watching the show with us. They had heard some of his songs from the past ... "The Streak," "Ahab the Arab," "Everything is Beautiful" and agreed with his song about 10% for God should be enough for the country. Funny song ... but it rang true.

Good Huckabee show.
