Abortion: I don't like it, but Roe v. Wade is the law of the land. Repealing the SCOTUS decision creates legal anarchy which is even worse.
Separation of church and state: Keep the churches out of the government and the government out of the churches so that both can have some independence and integrity.
Affirmative action: Necessary and appropriate as a correction in some places -- overblown issue. Nepotism is bigger.
Gun control: The "well-regulated militia" clause is often forgotten; that obviously excludes criminals, addicts, lunatics, illegal aliens, and others that one doesn't want as part of a "well-regulated militia"... other than that, firearms are much a part of American life.
Death penalty: Barbarous!
Flag burning: Does more harm to the reputations of those who burn Old Glory as a form of protest; better that a$$holes burn a flag than that a$$holes in government burn books that they don't want us to read.
Euthanasia: Dislike, but I can think of worse.
Gay Marriage: What's the problem?
Prostitution: The criminalization of prostitution causes more problems than it solves.l
Immigration: Fair wages for HB-1A... now!
Drugs: Legalize Marijuana but crack down on the rest.
Economic Issues
Taxes: I'd rather earn more money and pay more taxes -- wouldn't you? Health Care: Too old not to care. Trade: Our trading partners do not deserve blame for our own faults. Spending: Eliminate or reform ineffective programs and cut military. Welfare: Should be strictly a temporary safety net. Corporate welfare is a travesty. Education: Let's have free (tax-paid) education for anyone who can reasonably derive benefit from it. Regulations: Support antitrust/ monopoly regulations.
Foreign Policy
Military Involvement: Only if the President can live by an honor code.
Israel: Support right to exist.
