Kung-fu fighting, Delta Force-Walker, Texas Ranger-Total Gym star Chuck Norris endorsed Huckabee for president today, calling him “The David among them” in his WorldNetDaily column.
Given Huckabee’s underdog status, Norris “recalled another leader in ancient times that didn't match up in the line up: King David. Seven men were poised and paraded for the position of king, but David was left in the field shepherding because he wasn't ‘a frontrunner in the polls.’ They overlooked the best because they were too busy judging by outward appearance. But God appointed David king.”
Norris also writes that Huckabee’s “not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs.”
On the rest of the field, Norris, who promised not to leave us “in suspense,” writes, “Though Giuliani might be savvy enough to lead people, Fred Thompson wise enough to wade through the tides of politics, McCain tough enough to fight terrorism and Romney business-minded enough to grow our economy, I believe the only one who has all of the characteristics to lead America forward into the future is ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.”
According to his Internet Movie Database biography: Norris, a six-time World Karate Champion, has long been a supporter of the GOP. He campaigned for George Bush in 1988 and attended George W. Bush’s 2001 inauguration. He has given thousands to Republican candidates, committees and causes and is a member of the National Rifle Association. He and his wife also serve on the board of the National Council of Bible Curriculum in Public Schools.
Here's a fun one. Our favorite: "There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live."
