How wrong are you? I'm not on your side. I'm on America's side!!
I am a Republican and I do not agree with many Democratic party issues like supporting public dollars for Abortion, Gay rights, Farm subsidies, Labor Unions, Teachers Unions, Illegal Aliens, and lax corrupt Judges and Lawyers!
I do not support the Republicans on Tax cuts for the weathy, Corporate Welfare, Corrupt Judges and Lawyers, lax enforcement of the Death Penalty, Lax Gun laws, allowing Church to run the State, Charter School Vouchers, Military Aid to dicators and corrupt Governments like Israel, Iraq, Pakistan, so-called Free Trade, Outsourcing of Jobs, Lax Illegal Immigration enforcement, and the basic financial rape of American Citizens!!!
I choose the lessor of the two evils every four years. I trust none of them.
Abortion should be legal but not paid for with taxpayer dollars. It is a personal moral decision and wrong.
Gays already have the same rights as every other human being. They do not have the right to pervert everyone else's lifestyle and freedoms. Gays should not be teaching our children, period. Their lifestyle choice and sexual perversions should not be displayed as normal behavior on TV or anywhere else. I accept that they choose to be that way I just don't want anyone trying to force me or my children to agree with them that it is normal. It is a personal moral choice and a sick sinful one.
Farm Subsidies pay farmers "not" to plant crops and protects farmers profits at the expense of the consumers. It is not about imports. It is about profits and we pay the price everyday. If you believe in fair trade there should be no subsidies. If you want to subsidize someone, subsidize the taxpayers. It is our money! Tariffs should be used if you wish to hinder competition form other countries.
Labor Unions once served a good purpose but have become as corrupt as our government. They steal from their members and again reduce competition so Americans pay higher prices for poor quality goods. They have helped to kill our Manufacturing base along with the greedy corporations. The Auto Industry has been strangled by the unions!! They would rather the companies fail than let go of their death grip! Everything a union touches turns to poop! Schools, Airlines, Roads, Government, Medical care, Construction, and the list goes on and on. Labor Unions support Illegal Immigration at the expense of American workers. Profit first and country never.
Teachers Unions are there to protect incompetent teachers and administrators at the expenses of Student and Taxpayers. They only care about having power that they never should have been given and money they do not earn. When the product you put out is poor you should be fired and replaced!! Another example of a Union killed everything it touches. Just look at the Washington, D.C. fight between the new School Superintendant and the Teachers Union for a few facts! Parents and voters need to take back our school and outlaw Teachers Unions or reduce there influence to about 20% of the decision making ability regarding our schools. Parent should have the 70% and Administrators 10%. Teachers Unions are also being used as tools of the Gay Rights crowd to influence our children and screw up their minds at a key point in their development.
Illegal Aliens have done more to hurt our country and to steal from taxpayers than everyone except Corporations!! This is the biggest Welfare plan in the world. 80% of Mexico's GDP comes form remittances from the USA!! Not from their Oil. They have been allowed to slow down our schools with distractions like English as a Secondary Language and to steal resources we pay for that are meant BY LAW to educate US citizens. THE LAWS THAT LET CHILDREN BORN ON US SOIL BE AUTOMATIC "AMERICANS" EVEN WHEN BORN TO ILLEGAL ALIENS MUST BE REPEALED!!! THE SAME FOR CUBANS THAT REACH OUR SHORES!! Until every American's needs for food, shelter, clothing, and a Job are met here VERY LITTLE LEGAL IMMIGRATION SHOULD BE ALLOWED. WE NEED TROOPS AT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER AND NOT JUST FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. Terrorists, Drug Dealers, and other trash walk right in every day. I would gladly pay more for a quality built home by Americans than to support Illegal Aliens. These CRIMINALS steal from our healthcare system, rape and kill our citizens, crash cars and leave the accident behind, over burden our schools, tax our court sysems and jails, and bring decease.
Lax and Corrupt Judges and Lawyers focus on MONEY and not the victims or true justice. They act for political purposes and if they are blessed by the system they become our politicians o they can continue to rob us blind. Fair sentencing and fair application of the law does not happen. These criminals write the laws to keep conflict alive and an endless money stream!! Criminals can appeal to the Supreme for TEN or more years after a setence of DEATH at taxpayers expense. Civil injustices in favor of Corporations or however has the most money trumps the law. Everyday Americans are the victims of this in both civil and criminal cases. Light sentences for child rapists, violent criminals, rapists and murderers allow them to repeat their offenses over and over again! We need fairness and true justice!!
Tax cuts for the Wealthy and Corporations continue to increase the great divide between the people of this country. I support a flat tax with a work through. Eliminate all tax deductions and apply a 20% top rate($100,000.00 plus), 15% middle rate($50,000.00 plus) and 10% lower rate(less than $50,000.00) to start out for five years. Then 20% for all income over $100,000.00 per year without any deductions, even home mortages. If you work hard you will keep more and it will grow.
Corporate Welfare as discussed above includes Subsidies and Tax Breaks. The corporate tax rates should be the same as indiviual rates and all income from any source should be taxed the same. McCain and other silly Republicans talk about Ireland 10-15% tax rate verses 35% they claim for American corporations. Most of our Corporations pay zero to little tax because they get set-asides, tax breaks, off-shore corporation status, subsidies from taxpayers or pass that tax on to the consumers!! They get richer along with the tax lawyers and accountants at the American people's expense. Ireland was the FIRST country to falter economically in this new economic crisis.
Judges and lawyers, see above.
Lax Enforcement of the Death Penalty further penalizes the community for the actions of criminals we have deemed unfit to live. ALL RAPISTS, TERRORISTS, MURDERERS(WITHOUT CAUSE/JUSTIFIABLE), CHILD MOLESTORS, ARMED VIOLENT CRIMINALS, DRUG DEALERS, ETC SHOULD BE EXECUTED WITHIN 60 DAYS OF SENTENCING! Anyone providing false testimony leading to the execution of someone else should be executed when convicted. The death penalty shold not be handed down without clear evidence of guilt. They highest standards should be used but we should not avoid the decision. If you cannot justify the death sentence then a sentence of no more than 10 years should be allowed. If you don't want this person on your streets after 10 years a death sentence in needed. Prison does not rehabilitate anyone! The cost of one year in prison can pay for one to four years in college from the least expensive to the most expensive in the country! I would rather pay for our future rather than keep our past alive. A prison is a ZOO and nothing more. Yes folks do make a lot of money building/running prisons and jails.
Lax gun laws hurt the people. I support registration of all firearms of all types when purchased or transfered. I support background checks for all transactions no matter where they happen. I support every law abiding citizen's right to carry a loaded firearm after a shooting skill/safety/law test. I support the right of everyone to own up to 50 caliber single shot/semi-auto/automatic firearms after testing as well. You could transport them in your car but not carry fully auto firearms concealed.
I am a Christian but I know that the church should not run our country. Prayer(voluntary) by anyone must be allowed without restriction. Scheduling times for prayer should not be allowed(5 times a day for Muslims). This is a Christian Country just as Iran is a Muslim country. Accept it. The difference is that we allow all other religions to florish here. Christian events such as Christmas celebrations must be allowed in schools and other Government offices. This must be voluntary and others may host a party if they wish. Yes the state should determine what is an aproved religion(no devil worshipers). You can either do this or wait for the Muslims and others to force their way of life on you. We must maintain our identity as a Christian country but be tolerant and fair to others. Acceptance and tolerant is the key. Not conversion or oppression. Religion classes for educational purposes should be voluntary as well.
Charter School Vouchers are a no no. As terrible as our public schools are we must fix them as I have stated above. That means Unions and Adminstrators. Taxes should be paid and we should get what we paid for. If you will not fix the Teacher's Union Adminstration problem of the public schools then they need to be totally abandoned. No tax should be levied for schools and then you can choose the private competitive model. You cannot have both taxing for public schools and crediting back to some who choose private. Fix it today or abandon it tomorrow. When that decision is finally made by good politicians or the people you will get the schools you want and deserve.
Military Aid to ditators and corrupt governemnts. Israel, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, etc. all show what damage we have done to others and to ourselves over the years. It must stop or we will constantly be a war with someone. They will figure it out sooner or later by themselves. We just keep repeating the cycle from one generation to the next.
So-Called Free Trade is not Free!! Fair trade is what is needed and we should only run limited deficits for limited times(1-3 years) with any one country. You can go back to the beginning of this country to today to see what an impact unbalanced trade has on our economy. Remember the Boston Tea Party? Oil and Poorly Created Chinese Product are the source of those problems today!! Cut the source and cure the problems. If we can buy it from them, we can buy it or a substitute from ourselves. We have the brain power and the workers. We have to stop being so lazy and work!! If you employ more of your own people you can pay whatever it costs to create it and buy it. We must be more self sustaining from here on out. We have no true friends in the world, just look at Europe and our own Corporations! Everyone has been allowed to take from us and none give back. None! IT MUST END TODAY!! If not, you have seen the last of America as a first world innovative country. Your children will be nothing more than slaves to Corporations and other countries. Many are that today.
Outsourcing of jobs fits right into the so-called free trade issue. This is what we have truely been outsourcing, our jobs and our freedom!! If you do not have economic freedom you do not have any freedom. Americans are becoming slaves.
Lax enforcement of Illegal Immigration by our government that is lobbied for and supported by corporations is a WAR ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM WITHIN. You are nothing more than a cog in the wheels of the corporate machine to these people, a slave to be substituted with any other slave at a cheaper price. When you finally understand that fact you will act before it is too late. We send troops to other countries to protect their freedoms while we ignore our own. THERE IS NO ARGUMENT TO JUSTIFY ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION INTO AMERICA!! NONE!
Our troops need to be on our borders stopping the terrorism that is Illegal Immigration and Drug Trafficing. That is a prper uses of our forces. We do not need to fill up our jails and court with this trash. When they realize that they cannot get it they will give up, reduce the flow or die trying. Our corporations can open businesses in those countries if they like to help them develop their economies without hurting us. I would rather buy something made well in Mexico by Mexicans living in Mexico than have then draining our systems and commiting crimes here. What would happen if the product we by from China were made in Mexico? It would help both countries. This is what our policy should be. You do not help them be hurting Americans. If you want more folks here from other countries there are a lot more places out there besides Mexico. All Mexican immigration must be stopped immediately, legal and illegal. Try Asia, Africa, Europe and get some balance. Let someone else have an opportunity. Immigration used to bring us the brightest and the moral among other countries. Today we get the worst form Mexico and South America. We should also stop all Arab, Indian, Pakistani, Iranian, Iraqi, Saudi and Israeli immigration immediately as well. How about a few Swedish and Polish.
The Basic Financial Rape of American Citizens is what is happening through most of these activities. Another big one is the Financial Markets. Financial Education must become a manditory requirement to graduate from each level of school from elementary to college. Law need to be writen and ENFORCED to protect American Investors from the criminals within our country and those abroad! This needs to happen tomorrow! How many times must we watch the life savings of others be stolen by Corporate Criminals as we have witnessed again this year without restoration and criminal prosecution. These people belong in jail. There should be a DEATH PENALTY form financial crimes that exceed the life saving(earnings) of the average American. Say 5 million dollars. If you steal five million dollars in total through fraud or other device you die within 60 days of sentencing. That one law would do wonders to clean up Corporate America. In China the kill Financial Criminals. One thing we should borrow form them.
Save this so you know where I stand next time you post something incorrect.
