Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee recently shared his thoughts on the state of American politics today, including the divide between political parties. He told CBN News, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen it quite so filled with rancor and contentiousness, but part of that is because people feel very passionately about their beliefs, their country. And we have a divided country. What we have is a divide between those who want to lean toward socialism, where the government gets stronger and bigger, where many people think the government is god.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huckabee urged people to remember that freedom \u2014 \u201cindividually or corporately\u201d \u2014 is one of the most important things our government is built on.\u00a0He explained, \u201cWe\u2019re living in a time now where it\u2019s hard to find common ground with people who believe that we\u2019re an evil country. When you have that much of a fundamental difference, it\u2019s really hard to find common ground and find that sort of center of governing.\u201d Huckabee is no longer a politician, but he still shares his thoughts on politics on TBN\u2019s \u201cHuckabee.\u201d<\/p>\n
