Bottom line is that there are some beliefs that I find extreme and overly irrational. I am sure there are beliefs that you would classify the same way, you just aren't honest enough to admit it.

When it comes to religion in politics, I'm willing to give people a wide berth. To use a little dramatic hyperbole, I don't really care if a guy believes in the tooth fairy and the man in the moon, so long as he governs responsibly and shares my political values.

You've made no cogent argument as to how this "extreme" view might affect Huckabee's performance in office. It doesn't amount to a whole lot more than the religious bigotry levelled at Romney's intelligence for believing the "extreme" Mormon teachings.

Frankly, I expected something more rational from you than just, "Creationists are stupid."
