Bloody Boots on the Ground Huckabee

Bloody boots on the ground with medals on their chest

Anyone else notice the repeated use of this phrase by brother Huck? Kind of odd for a man of the cloth?

Why do you find this odd for a man of the cloth? More blood has spilt on this earth over religion than for any other reason well with the name of love taking a distant second.

That point cannot be argued, most of the blood spilt was for secular reasons, i.e. power grab in the name in relgion, case in point Thirty Years War, English Civil War, Dutch Revolt. I think if you look at Huckabee's use of language, which is important for it gives insight to his thinking and his mind, you see a lot of violent words. Bloody boots, bath tub with razor blades, his comment on the hunting trip. As a Methodist I have rarely if ever heard a single "violent" word uttered from the pulpit.
