My Views On:

Abortion: I see no way to get around 2 things. First, the fetus is alive. Second, it is a woman's decision to either keep or unkeep the darn thing. If we had a strong social welfare organization, then I'd have been against abortion so long as, in all cases, the government could be counted on to appreciate the implications of child birth. But in a country where close to forty percent go without health insurance each year... you can forget that. I'm for abortion and against any reconsideration of Roe V. Wade (until the Republicans get their social welfare paradigm straight).

Gun Control: Forget the 2nd amendment... I'm a free man. I need no amendment to legally protect mineself and mine family from morons who stray into my yard.

Taxes: We need the money to kill al kaeda. You can keep the rest.

Homosexuality: This will never change. I think it is abnormal, but I know believe it is fostered upon humans at a young age. But for the grace of god I believe I'd be gay today, considering my childhood experiences. And, I've recently seen two young gay kids made gay by their overbearing mother, and father with homosexually weak tendencies--as far as raising his kids goes...

Death Penalty: I think it ought to be abolished except for in rare cases. Justice is often not attainable, though it can be simulated. The US has abandoned rehabilitation in lieu of punishment, which does nothing both for the victim and perpetrator. I'm not so strong on rehabilitation, since it is not proven, but it is better than punishment.

Campaign Finance: It is a shame that US government is "determined" by money. A big shame. When I heard that Clinton and Gore got campaign donations from foreign governments I quite literally changed to a Republican, and I'm now very comfortable in a conservative role. It is not that Republicans are less shameless, in the pursuit of individual ends, but their self-righteousness often forces them to adhere to noble standards of politicking, lest they get caught in hypocrisy. In a true democracy, anyone ought to have a shot at the presidency... and I mean ANYONE.

Gay Marriage: I have given this complex argument already but few seem to understand how to word it. It is perfectly acceptable to be even hostile to unproven institutions that threaten social continuity. I am against gay marriage... at this time, but am always willing to listen to arguments for it, at any time.

Gays in the Military: Understand and honor a soldier who says that under the current ways and means of the corp, open homosexuality threatens... military perfection. Just get it... Don't ask don't tell? Well, I'd be a foolish one to turn down offers to fight for my flag... so certainly, I'm for gays in the military... after a mature dialog and a, like it or not, a designation on roles (considering the psychological implications and all).

In God we Trust and One Nation under God: I had spoken to the King Atheist in Atlanta and though few would deny evidence of God during that dialog, another atheist was soon to rise and deny God. There is nothing I can do. I agree with the atheists. It is unconstitutional to force God to protect fools.
