My political beliefs
For my first post, I will layout my political beliefs. I believe:
· Our current federal government is too big.
· We have lost the intent of our founders and all of them are rolling over in their grave when they see what we have done with the Constitution.
· The whole tax system is screwed up- starting with the income tax. The income tax, along with corporate taxes, the estate tax, the death tax, and many other unnecessary taxes allow the federal government to grow in size and invade our life more and more each day. The only way to change our system is with a complete overhaul of the taxing system. The FairTax is the best solution for America and its future. The government should let the free market run itself. The bailouts are ridiculous and will only hurt our economic situation. President Barack Obama, or no other president, should ever have the power to fire a CEO or president of any company- no matter what the size or situation.
· Our federal government should be run like a business. I understand that most businesses are small business where the CFO/CEO/president is one hard working American who does not make millions every year or take voluptuous end of the year bonuses. The federal government should have a sound budget like these small businesses do every year. This would be possible if we eliminated our spending on programs like welfare, Medicare, Social Security- that are not specified in the Constitution.
· Welfare is unconstitutional and only makes the situation worse for the people receiving it.
· Affirmative action is unconstitutional based on the 14th amendment and only allows the recipients to be mediocre.
· The best solution to our energy problems is for the government to stay out and let private entrepreneurs drill off our shore and in Alaska.
· The second amendment grants citizens the right to bear firearms. Plain and simple.
· The federal government should follow the 10th Amendment and let the states control all other matter. Let the states be, as Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once said, “laboratories of democracy” like the recent referendum of Prop 8 in California.
· The Supreme Court’s sole responsibility is to interpret the law and should take not part in creating legislation. I believe that Roe V. Wade should be overturned because everyone should have the right to life, including an unborn child
· The current war on terrorism was justified and was a success. We had several terrorist acts on American from 1993 to 2001 when we practiced apathy, and since 2001we have taken the fight to terrorist, no innocent American lives have died.
· The United States was founded on Judeo- Christian principles. Now this does not mean everyone must practice these values, but by recognizing them, the principles of the Constitution and the intent of the founders are clearer.
· Education was never a function of the federal government, but it looks like it is here to stay. Therefore, the best solution to high schools now is school vouchers.
· Global warming is not real. It has become a hoax by the government and liberal scientist and the media as another way to expand the federal government and control the lives of citizens.
· The American should get out of the United Nations. It has done us no good whatsoever.
· The government must crack down on illegal immigration. A fence would be a great way to monitor the border and protect American from possible terror suspects’ crossing over into America.
· As you can see, I am very conservative an all matters of government. However, I am not an anarchist. Government should protect Americans right to life, liberty and property (I understand these are the words of Locke not Jefferson). It should be in charge of national defense, interstate highways, and other minor things specified in the Constitution.
· To save America for as long as possible (since every great nation/empire in the history of the world has eventually collapsed and America will too one day) we must return to the original intent of our Constitution and founders.
