Privatizing SS. Please do it. Private companies are more open to lawsuits than government organizations. Hence, if i don't ever see the money they take away I have a better chance of getting it back. Since Democrats spend so much money on Pork Barrel projects, it seems that SS money is being spent for reasons other than intended; if we privatize SS, the unnecessarily huge Federal Govt. will have less accessibility to my money.
Gay Marriage. No! There are rights and freedoms granted to all citizens in this country, and privacy too. It is my right that when i engage in a marriage, it will be an act meant for a man and a woman to devote their lives to one another. I agree, that it has lost meaning these days, but the right should exist nonetheless. It is unnatural, it should not happen.
It's unnatural, God meant for something else and they chose otherwise. To keep their inherit rights intact, they freely express themselves in public and are rightfully allowed to perform whatever acts they may see fit. Now, they want their union legalized, in other words, legally accepted by society. We tolerate it, but do not have to accept it... especially in a legal sense. I've been accused myself quite often of these things, and the fact that there were accusations but tolerance lets me further know that their culture can thrive without forcing others to accept it. When i marry my wife, I want to know that this is a binding act under the eyes of God, and that we should not tell him that he is gonna have to accept something else.
Welfare. LOL! Welfare does need reform, but in a different sense. There should be screenings to qualify for welfare, so that people who have done acid more than 10 times are no longer qualified for welfare. All future welfare recipients should have at least a GED to qualify, and welfare money should be spent to get them one if they don't. All future recipients should be processed for work or even given training to help the process. There should be federal positions available for these people, and the Federal Govt. should take some welfare money to try to find jobs for some of the recipients. That's "well" fare. Not only would they be getting federal money to help them, they'd be getting a push in the right direction, instead of "here's some money, now go leave the working people alone."
Abortion. Here's where i surprise most of my conservative friends. A woman has the right to choose, until. She has the right to choose in the first trimester, and after that she no longer has the right. I don't like even the fact that she can abort life, but woman have the right to choose and I have to accept it. Women who abort, with the exception of rape and to save their life, should not be able to birth a child for 10 yrs after the abortion; i say this because they chose, but must deal with consequences. It seems strange, yes, but here's how I look at it. You had the right to choose to be foolish and get pregnant, you exercised your right to choose abortion, but now there are consequences for your actions because you've shown that you're unable to act as a parent or be responsible there are preventative consequences to face.
Multilateralism. I am a strict advocate to unilateralism where multilateralism has failed before. WWII. The United States and England have been warning Europe that Hitler's build up is of ominous interpretations. The US, England, and a very clueless Europe "negotiate" with Hitler for years even after he invades the Rhineland. Then WWII happened, because other nations were unwilling to deal with problems in their own part and they spilled over to here. Unilateralism where Multilateralism has failed; Multilateralism where Unilateralism has failed. If everyone takes care of problems in their own places, they will not spill over. Iraq could have been handled better in terms of post-war planning, but i still support the decision.
Regulating Business. Whether small or BIG government has the right to regulate these businesses. The reason is not to control them and tell run them, it's to give them parameters to and limits to work within. Businesses have and always will try to take your money, even their own workers' money, so government has the job of keeping business legit. They also have the right and duty to help businesses to grow, because their tax money comes from the business, its workers, the taxes on the goods they sell, and the taxes on the supplies they buy... it's like an investment.
The Terri Schaivo case. Republicans wanted the feeding tube kept in because we didn't have a right to kill her. We didn't have the right to keep her alive if she would not have a chance at a normal life, i disagree with my party on this one. It was her time.
That's all i got. I hope that peoples have gotten to know how i feel; Republicans don't hate people and eat black babies. We just have different opinions, but we believe in the better good like the Dems-on-craks, i mean Democrats.
