Social › Abortion
4>4 Personal answerPro-life |
Social › Gay Marriage
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Equal Pay
4>4 Personal answerNo, the current requirements in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 are already sufficient |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gender Identity
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
4>4 Personal answerYes, we need to stop all immigration until ICE can show that they have an EFFECTIVE screening process. We could simply ban Muslims, but the terrorists have been recruiting Americans and Europeans, so you can't tell whether they are potential terrorists by their ethnicity. And Islam is the only faith that is also an integral social, cultural, legal, financial, political, etc., SYSTEM, so singling out Islam is NOT un-Constitutional. Muslims are supposed to convert any society in which they live to be 100% Muslim. It amounts to much MORE than an overthrow of the government. They would convert the US to a caliphate, a theocratic dictatorship, impose Shari'a law, eliminate our Constitution, impose Islamic financial rules, etc. No more free speech, pay dhimmitude (tribute) to continue living without converting to Islam, theft would be punished by amputation of a hand, there would be the death penalty for homosexual behavior, etc. |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Climate Change
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
4>4 Personal answerWhen I was young, in the 1950s, every physically healthy male was required to give eight years of military service. It was called a "Universal Military Obligation." It could be eight years of active duty or eight years in the reserves or National Guard, or any combination thereof. I think young people benefitted enormously from that experience. It was an education by itself. |
Education › Student Loans
4>4 Personal answerNo, government-backed student loans only enable universities to raise tuition and expenses. Convert current student loans to privately-managed accounts and get the government out of education. |
Immigration › Immigration
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Death Penalty
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Marijuana
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Government Mandates
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Confederate Flag
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo, it is unconstitutional to deny someone’s rights without due process |
Social › Women in Combat
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
4>4 Personal answerYes, all illegal immigrants should be turned over to federal authorities and deported |
Immigration › Border Security
4>4 Personal answerUnless we know who is coming and going, we are not a sovereign country, other countries can send their police or troops here "in hot pursuit" and we have no complaint. That was the situation 200 years ago, when we sent our Marines after the pirates. Tripoli had open borders so the government couldn't complain about our action. In our situation, there are a number of fairly severe risks presented by our open borders. Terrorists, criminals, diseases, etc., can come here as easily as anyone else. |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
4>4 Personal answerNo. Illegal immigrants should be rounded up and deported (with their kids), the way FDR, HST and DDE did, in the 1930s. 1940s and 1950s. That practice only stopped with the "Great Society" in the 1960s. The law should be changed to end the "anchor baby" practice. |
Elections › Voter Fraud
4>4 Personal answerYes, it will reduce voter fraud, we are required to show a photo ID to buy over-the-counter drugs, take out a book at the library, etc. Photo IDs are free. You can't get by today without one. |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
4>4 Personal answerThe reason FDR, HST and DDE deported illegal immigrants (and their kids) was that Americans were looking for work. Americans don't need to be competing with illegal immigrants for their jobs. |
the Economy › Government Spending
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Israel
4>4 Personal answerIn 1946 there were only a handful of "Palestinians" in Palestine. When it looked as though a new nation of Israel would be created, hundreds of Muslims moved there, hoping to prevent Israel from coming into existence. Israel is the only nation in the region which provides its people real self-determination, but she is surrounded and greatly outnumbered by Muslim nations which hope to wipe Israel off the map. She needs our support and our respect for her sovereignty. She is a tiny nation, smaller than Rhode Island. Her antagonist neighbors have at least 1000 times her land area, and much more land per person, yet we keep suggesting that she should give some of her land to them. Place a book of matches on a football field sideline at the 50-yard line. The book of matches represents Israel. The out-of-bounds area is the Mediterranean, and the football field represents her antagonist neighbors. We should increase our funding for her and move our embassy to Jerusalem. |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
4>4 Personal answerYes, and remove multilingual translations from government documents and services |
Social › First Amendment
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
4>4 Personal answerNo, it is sometimes necessary. Prison sentences are punishments for crimes. Rehabilitation is nice if it can be accomplished at little or no cost, but that is not the purpose of prisons. |
Social › Euthanasia
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
4>4 Personal answerDecrease the number of temporary work visas given high-skilled immigrant workers. Our education industry needs to MUCH better prepare Americans for real-world employment. Take the 1895 Salina, KS eighth-grade final exam (it is available on the Interest), and you will get an idea of how our education has declined, while education costs have escalated. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
4>4 Personal answerFDR was right in saying public employees should not be able to unionize. 'Collective bargaining' is a fraud in the public sector because the employer (the taxpayer) is not involved in the bargaining. Unions 'bargain' with politicians they own and the taxpayer gets a raw deal. |
Education › Common Core
4>4 Personal answerNo, education is not a federal responsibility. Common Core is the educational equivalent of Obamacare, a government takeover of another industry. Get the government out of education. There is no Constitutional provision for it, it will only increase costs and compromise real education. |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
4>4 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
4>4 Personal answerNo taxing income is wrong. The Founding Fathers gave us a consumption tax system which worked very well for almost 150 years. Since we adopted Karl Marx's 'graduated income tax,' it has all been downhill, Congress meddles with it non-stop, passing more than four Tax Code Amendments per day (more than 20,000 over the past 30 years), giving us a Tax Code with which we can't comply and which the IRS can't enforce. It is patently unfair, inefficient and a burden on the economy. |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
4>4 Personal answerNo, and all illegal immigrants should be deported |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
4>4 Personal answerNo, and remove the UN from the US. The UN has at least 150 member nations which are dictatorships or monarchies. Most are antagonistic toward us. We are less than 5% of the world's population, yet we pay 25% of the UN's expenses. Our enemies use it as a base for espionage. have HUGE "delegations" which we allow to travel anywhere. Move it to the Azores or Switzerland, where there would be nothing for their spies to do. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Fracking
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
4>4 Personal answerYes, with help from China and Russia, she is developing an ICBM capable of carrying her nuclear warheads to the US. We have an ABM system, but unless it has a perfect batting average, some major US cities could be wiped out. 'Diplomacy' with North Korea is a joke. As with Iran, she can't be trusted and she won't allow us to verify. |
Foreign Policy › Torture
4>4 Personal answerYes, we waterboard our own troops (anyone who might be captured, i.e., fliers, special forces, 'ground pounders' in combat areas, etc.), to show them what to expect. Insofar as I am concerned we do NOT "torture" our own troops in doing that. Since combatants captured on the battlefield in civilian clothes are classified as spies by the Geneva Convention, and subject to summary execution, I have no problem with waterboarding them. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
4>4 Personal answerToday, our National Debt is headed toward $20 trillion and yet we give foreign aid to most countries in the world, including China and Russia. It is a ridiculous situation. |
Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops
4>4 Personal answerIf necessary, provided our "allies" in the region contribute meaningful numbers of troops to the effort too. We shouldn't be providing the majority of the troops, planes, tanks, or what-have-you. Our military experts should determine the numbers, and we should NEVER say publicly when we will send them or when we will bring them home. |
Foreign Policy › Drones
4>4 Personal answerAs part of our war effort, yes. We can't declare war, in the traditional sense, because these terrorist groups don't have diplomatic relations with anyone. |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
4>4 Personal answerThe Geneva Convention defines a combatant wearing civilian clothes as a SPY, and says he may be summarily executed. He has to be in a recognized military uniform to be classed as a Prisoner of War, in which case he is incarcerated and given food, housing, and medical care for the duration of the conflict. |
Science › Space Exploration
4>4 Personal answerNo, the government should leave human space travel to private companies |
Foreign Policy › War on ISIS
4>4 Personal answerDeclaring war is a "diplomatic" action, involving ambassadors, to give the other country notice. In this day and age, I think we could declare war via the Internet. We don't have ambassadors to these terrorist groups, so we can't call them home, normally the last thing belligerent nations do before actually declaring war. And there are no neutral nations which have diplomatic relations with these terrorist groups either, so we have to give them notice ourselves. Doing that would make giving aid and support to them an act of treason. |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerOur allies spy on us and we spy on them, only we can't admit that. In general, though, they seem to be better at it than we are. Much as the Muslim Brotherhood was infiltrating our government decades ago, while we were pretending that the MB was just a Muslim civic organization, we still haven't purged MB personnel from the Administration or declared it a terrorist organization, the way Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc., have. |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
4>4 Personal answerNo. Cuba reaps all the benefits and the US gets nothing, not even a verbal promise to stop exporting socialism or supporting terrorism. Our recognition of Cuba is already opening up all kinds of financial benefits for the government, but nothing for the Cuban people. |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Russian Airstrikes in Syria
4>4 Personal answerRussia has been making a fool of us again, pretending to be attacking ISIS while actually attacking the Syrian rebels, in support of Assad. We have been pretending to attack ISIS too, flying only 10 or 12 sorties a day, about 80% of which return to base with their bombs, because we don't have any forward air controllers (FACs) to guide our aircraft to their targets. Also, we commonly send planes on sorties carrying one bomb. In the Iraq war, we often flew more than 1,100 sorties per day, our planes carried 10 or 20 bombs and came back empty. Today's campaign is a sham. |
the Economy › Pension Reform
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Bitcoin
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
4>4 Personal answerNo |
