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, “I’ve 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.”

Huckabee urged people to remember that freedom — “individually or corporately” — is one of the most important things our government is built on. He explained, “We’re living in a time now where it’s hard to find common ground with people who believe that we’re an evil country. When you have that much of a fundamental difference, it’s really hard to find common ground and find that sort of center of governing.” Huckabee is no longer a politician, but he still shares his thoughts on politics on TBN’s “Huckabee.”
