While Huck’s long record of cultural conservatism and fiscal moderation bordering on outright liberalism has been well documented, little is known about his foreign policy views. According to Soren, Huckabee appears to be carrying the banner of foreign policy realism, with an anti-trade stance and an opposition to immigration included for good measure. Money quote: David (Adesnik), who might even accept the label “neoconservative,” finds this troubling. Frankly, I do too, on a certain level. While I wouldn’t accept the “export our form of government” language, it seems clear to me that the United States has a clear role in the world. Some of this is because we are still the strongest superpower, with the strongest economy, the strongest military, and the most dynamic popular culture (which conservatives here and abroad hate) [...] […] Soren Dayton has put together a comprehensive post on Mike Huckabee’s foreign policy record and finds that Huckabee’s domestic views aren’t the only thing out of sync with today’s GOP.
