You, Mr. Huckabee, I think you owe an apology!
What you said in an interview with Cavuto on FOX News is highly offensive:

Most of my new year's resolutions have focused on re-ordering the week to make the best use of time. This is a flawed premise to begin with because we can't always make that judgment, only what we think is best. Every day is a tussle between the demands under our nose and the agenda we feel...

Mother Teresa was born in Albania in 1910. She spent years of her life as a Catholic nun dedicated to humanitarian work for the poor, sick, dying and the orphaned carrying out numerous missions the world over for hospices and homes for people with HIV, leprosy, tuberculosis and much more. She is...
