Social IssuesAbortion: Banned except in to save the mother's life. Abortion is a barbaric act and our descendants will feel the same way about us as we feel about slaveowners now.
Same-sex marriage: This is a church issue, not a state issue. Privately, I don't want gays getting married in my church.
Drug legalization: Legalize and regulate marijuana, step up the drug war on items like Meth, Cocoain, Heroine.
Prostitution: Oppose
Guns: Handguns, rifles, and shot guns should be left alone. Ban assault weapons, grenade launchers and the like.
Education: Less of this stupid "everyone needs a degree nonsense." Stream students based on academic success. Lots of vouchers. Encourage homeschooling
Immigration: Stricter border controls. Put in a point system like in Canada to encourage skilled, English speaking workers to immigrate.
Stem Cell Research: Ban embryonic stem cell research. Non-embryonic stem cell research should be legal but not funded.
Euthanasia: Most abused medical procedure ever. Old people in places like the Netherlands are afraid to go to hospital because so many people manage to get euthanized without their consent. Ban euthanasia.
English as the official language: English only for government services. french is ok in Canada though.
School Prayer: I support permitting voluntary, non-led prayer in public schools.
Pledge of Allegiance: The Pledge of Allegiance is a dumb practice, and I frown upon schools taking part in it. I support legislation to ensure that states can't make it mandatory.
Economic IssuesAffirmative Action: Winds up helping high income blacks and rich white ladies. No way.
Trade: Free trade but don't sign deals with countries that subsidise their exports.
Health Care: Federal government should provide catastrophic healthcare insurance funded out of payroll taxes (and maybe sin taxes). Cut medicare/medicaid and let people pay for routine things. Deregulate and encourage things like generic drugs to cut prices.
Welfare: Use a guaranteed minimum income instead.
Minimum Wage: Worst idea ever for low skill workers. Eliminate or cut the minimum wage.
Taxes: Guaranteed minimum income paid to everyone except claw it back from the 75k to 100k mark. Flat tax on all income including capital gains, dividends, interest, and earned income.
Regulation: Some are necessary and should be implemented where they're necessary, but others tend to benefit large corporations at the expense of competitors and consumers through regulatory capture. Regulate/deregulate on a case by case basis.
Spending Cuts: Cut wasteful spending, especially in the military. Slash and burn baby!
Energy: No subsidies for big oil, but allow more drilling. Cut green energy subsidies.
Social Security: Create government pension plan out of SS with funds set aside and invested. Encourage people to invest more on their own.
Unions: Support open shops and right to work. Ban unions in key areas like police.
Foreign Policy/DefensePATRIOT ACT: Kill it with fire!
Afghanistan: Set up a puppet who is able to hold onto power, then leave.
Iraq: Make the situation stable then leave.
Israel/Palestine: Support one state with equal rights for Palestinians.
Iran: Be prepared to attack Iran if attacked first. Isolate and embargo for now.
Syria: Do not get involved. We will just wind up setting up another Islamist regime.
Cuba: End the stupid embargo already, it isn't helping anyone!
Military Spending: Cut so that the USA returns to a proper defence force.
Electoral Issues/Government
Voter Regulations/ID Cards: Support voter ID cards.
Electoral College: America should go Westminister anyways
Washington D.C.: Let them have a voting Congressional representative. Don't make them a state.
Puerto Rico: Referendum in PR to decide.
Senate: Abolish the filibuster.
Congress: Cut down on gerrymandering by establishing "Elections USA" to create districts.
