Huckabee: Children Are Not Puppies; Daily Dude: But It's OK For Them To Look Like Cows?

Mike Huckabee this week dismissed gay marriage, equating it to drug abuse; and in the same breath compared adoption by same-sex couples to a science experiment.

"You don't go ahead and accommodate every behavioral pattern that is against the ideal," Huckabee said when asked about same-sex marriage. "That would be like saying, well, there are a lot of people who like to use drugs, so let's go ahead and accommodate those who want who use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accommodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, so we should accommodate them."

In the interview with a New Jersey student newspaper, he continued: "I think this is not about trying to create statements for people who want to change the basic fundamental definitions of family. Children are not puppies. This is not a time to see if we can experiment and find out, how does this work?"

In the same vein, wouldn't it be unacceptable to allow fat bigots to raise children on the off-chance that they would raise morbidly obese children?
