On what issues do you buck the standard party line.

[Willy Woz]

I mosty agree with the Constitution Party, but I think they should be a little less anti-immigration...

Yup, for all my fiery rhetoric.

Yeah. Immenent Domain and Public Smoking anger me, too. 

[phk]

Economically centrist.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I am strongly pro-life, and strongly anti-gay marriage (though I do support civil unions).

[Person Man]

Gee why won't fezzy become a dem and Okie become a republican?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Gee why won't fezzy become a dem and Okie become a republican?

There are many, many things -- Iraq is the major thing, economic issues are the other major thing.  I am pretty liberal economically.  I consider myself to be what one could call a "religious right Democrat".

Do you support the imposition of your own interpretation of Christian values (which from what I know, to me is a poor and wanting interpretation) onto the national arena? Or do you respect the seperation of the church from the state and for the state and law to hold a different statute to that of the Bible?

I support the separation of church and state to an extent.  I believe we as Christians are supposed to tell other's what we believe and tell others what God has done for us.  This world, in my opinion, would be much better off if we allowed God back into our government and our schools.  I believe the Bible is the ultimate "how-to" book on life and government.  I believe the Bible is above the US Constitution which is above every other document in the United States.  The Bible, being God's Word, is the source we should consult for everything about life.  I will never diminish the importance of the US Constitution, but it was never meant to stand on its own.  It has always been meant to work in conjunction with the Bible.  The Bible can stand on its own, but the US Constitution cannot.  The Bible says "to give unto Caesar what is Caesar's" and it also says to "obey those in authority over you", meaning obey your government, which means to obey your Constitution.

So, while I believe in separation of church and state, in terms of forcing your beliefs down one's throat, I also believe that the two are inseparable in the way the government is run.  The Bible should be the outer layer of the umbrella over which our government conducts itself.  The Constitution should be the inner layer of that same umbrella.

Believe me, God knows whats best for our country, better than any citizen of this country does.  It would serve us well to default to what He wants for this country.

Thats why I want a President who will get down on his or her knees every morning and ask God to guide him or her in the decision making for this country.  Sometimes they make mistakes, because they are just human, but if they only attempt to consult God in their decision-making, this country would be much, much better off.  Violence would be down, Crime would be down, Pornography would be down, and the morale of the people would be up, way up.

[afleitch]

First of all you contradict yourself. How can church and state be seperate if you believe that the Bible is above and should be above the Constitution? Nothing in US law is above the constitution and that has always been the case. The Constitution was not written to be read in conjunction with the Bible, it was written to be read in conjunction to previous state colonial legal documents and other international (mainly English) legal documents right back to the Magna Carta. It is more closely related to Roman law than some 'law of the Bible.' Which poses the question; which law of the Bible should be followed? It's not codified, nor is it uniformly consistent throughout the Bible. I hate to tell you but the Bible is not a law book (unlike many Islamic texts for example) Secondly how can you say you don't believe in forcing 'religion down peoples throats' when you wish a religious text to be the basis of law!

It's all slightly naive. You and I need to talk

[Person Man]

It is contradictory, yes, but I beleive there is a way that he comes to that in an honest way. However, his idea is based on that he knows everyone's interest and the sooner we learn to focus on making the horse drink, instead of forcing a horse to water, the better off we will be in America. I think fezzy understands that, but he also believes there is no way for us to come together as individuals.  Like Okie, I believe everyone wants the same thing and that the Bible can help us get there. However, like fezzy, I believe that appreciation of what is good and holy comes from appreciation and not paternalism. My ultimate belief is that one must individually develop morally, physically and spiritually in order to be able to take a sincere acceptance of virture and that the public may non-violently assist that individual to do so.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

I buck the democrat line on national security, immigration, drugs(I support ending the war on drugs as opposed to small token measures), gay marriage(unlike the dems I favor tossing DOMA and haivng legal gay marriage) and economics to a degree(if thE DLC owned the dems as opposed to the socialist I wouldn't be bucking them as much)
