HuckaGenius 1998 Statement: “A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband”

Allah predicts the defense will be that it’s an orthodox statement of the Christian view of marriage. Me thinketh this won’t help him with the female vote.

In August of 1998, Huckabee was one of 131 signatories to a full page USA Today Ad which declared: “I affirm the statement on the family issued by the 1998 Southern Baptist Convention.” What was in the family statement from the SBC?  “A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ.”

The ad wasn’t just a blanket, “we support the SBC statement,” but rather highlighted details. The ad Huckabee signed specifically said of the SBC family statement: “You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband’s sacrificial leadership.”

Greeeeaaaaaat. And this man is believed capable of beating Hillary? Brak at Hot Air writes:

So I guess the “Golden Rule” just applies to foreign nations, not your wife.

Apparently.
