President Forever 2008 + Primaries: Policy Planks

[KeeptheChange]

Abortion: Should be banned in all circumstances and treated as first-degree murder.

Balanced Budget: Should be Constitutionally required of every budget a President submits to Congress.  Meanwhile, the President should have the line item veto and should be Constitutionally mandated to use it if Congress adds to the budget in such a way as to render it imbalanced.

Business Tax: Should be eliminated immediately for small and medium sized businesses, and as soon as the deficit is eliminated, for large corporations too. Then, I would favor a Constitutional amendment outlawing any taxation above one percent.

Education: The federal government has no business in education.  The DoE should be eliminated immediately.  Vouchers should be provided to parents who send their children to private, Christian schools.  Homeschooling should be encouraged and supported, rather than persecuted and demonized.

Energy: We should begin drilling immediately in the ANWR, offshore and anywhere there might be oil.  Pipe dreams like wind, solar and biofuels should be abandoned. Strip mining and shale oil should be encouraged. Nuclear power, coal and oil are our future. Federal and state regulation should be severely curtailed.  The free market and public opinion are not only sufficient, but more effective when it comes to encouraging good corporate behavior. Some of the mining operations in my state are very good corporate citizens.

Environment: Global warming is a myth. My note above is applicable here, too.  The EPA should be immediately disbanded and laws that inhibit business growth and job creation should be stricken from the books. Baby seals, spotted owls and snail darters don't matter one damn bit and it absolutely enrages me to think that some morons care more about baby whales than baby humans.  Jobs, people.  That's what matters.

Gun Control: It is the right of all Americans to own firearms.  This right should be jealously guarded and protected. There should be no limit on the kind of weapon a law abiding citizen can own, with the exception of anything of an explosive nature. Grenades? No.  Machine gunes?  Yes.

Health Care: Is a personal responsibility and a priviledge earned through hard work. Indolence should not be rewarded with welfare.  If I had my way, we would end Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security for that matter.  Since such liberty-oriented ideas are presently unpopular, we should try to limit these programs wherever possible. Let's take what we can get until the rest of America wakes up and smells the opium it has been smoking.

Homeland Security: Should remain a cabinet level department.  I favor the right of federal law enforcement to monitor the communications of suspicious persons.  And I hate to say it.  But I support racial profiling in this regard only. If someone is getting on a plane and is wearing a turban or is named Ali Baba (or whatever)...the chances of them being a terrorist are better than if the name is Joe Smith.  Yes, I hate that this means a lot of patriotic, law-abiding Americans of Arab desent and Muslim faith will be inconvenienced.  That grieves me terribly. But it is what it is.  I also think we have, especially since Obama, become waaaaaayyyy too mindless of the Nation of Islam and extremist black groups.  I don't want to believe this has anything to do with what Barrack Hussain Obama learned at Jeremiah Wright's feet...but if the shoe fits...

Immigration: Deport all illegals immediately.  If the INS lacks sufficient personnel, use the military or privatize some of the work.  There should be absolutely NO health care for illegals, including illegal children.  What these people do is nothing more than spit in the eye of foreigners who came here and played by the rules. And hey...all their countries have Socialist Medicine, so they should be in a hurry to get home to their paradise countries anyway.  Ha!

Iran: No country is as important to the security and future prosperity of the United States as Israel.  If Iran makes any kind of threatening move toward Israel, the US should join Israel in attacking Iran and completely wiping out its military infrastructure.

Iraq: We should withdraw immediately.  This was a mistake and we should admit it already.

Outsourcing: American companies would not outsource if we eliminated the Socialist policies that already exist here...and prevent new ones from taking effect.  Scrap the minimum wage, dump oppressive OSHA regulations (which frequently lead to bribery and graft) and above all, stop worshiping those damned trees and spotted owls... and we will see American business always choose to keep jobs here.  Oh...and getting rid of public schools will help, too. The students who graduate from private or homeschool situations are invariably more intelligent, well-read and eager to work than the dummies who come out of government schools.

Personal Tax: Taxation is legalized theft.  And a good case can be made for the fact that, Constitutionally, it's not even legal. The only question I have on personal tax is whether or not this government should make reparations to its citizens.

Same-Sex Marriage: Marriage is a union between one man and one woman.  Homosexuality is a psycho-sexual disorder that leads to bestiality, pedophilia and sado-masochism. We all know that random gay who is a nice guy and seems completely harmless.  But unfortunately, every study I have read by reputable sources indicates that he is the exception to the rule.

Social Security: Should be ended as soon as possible.  Failing that, it should be privatized.

Unions: While a ban on unionization would please me tremendously, I am not sure such a law would be Constitutional...given the right of Americans to freedom of association and assembly.  But every effort should be made to discourage unions and to defeat them.  They encourage workers NOT to work, defend workers who get suspended or fired for using drugs or stealing on the job and  create a sense of entitlement that is 100% antithetical to all that America stands for. And Unions should be investigated vigorously on matters of finance and criminal activity.  Most are (or have been) a front for organized crime, anyway.

War on Terror: I support it wholeheartedly.  I think the war on terror would have a great deal more credibility if we had a President who did not travel the globe, apologizing for "American aggression" and imperialism. Ronald Reagan understood what Teddy Roosevelt meant when he said, "Walk softly and carry a big stick."  This is exactly the approach we need. Appeasement only sends a message of cowardice and lack of conviction.
