Okay, I think some elucidation on my part is in order.
First, just because I feel betrayed by the actions of the Bush administration DOES NOT mean that I suddenly wished I had voted for Kerry. I NEVER said that, so please don’t put words in my mouth.
Second, if you wish to admonish my points, go right ahead. But for those of you who have said “no wonder, this guy has less than 100 posts on THR” or “why do they let people like this post,” all I can say is that I have no respect for you and have nothing else to say to you. I have few posts on this board because up until very recently I was working full time AND going to college. But if you people want truly informative and worthwhile debate, then I think you would welcome those with slightly differing opinions then you own. I am just as fit to make points and have positions are any person who’s made 1000 posts to this board.
Third, here are my positions. If you think I’m still a “flaming liberal” then you’ve fallen off the apple cart one too many times to be regarded with any seriousness.
My Positions
----------------
1) I am a complete and total supporter of the 2nd Amendment and everything it stands for. I believe in the unadulterated existence of civilian firearms ownership. I believe in nationwide legalized concealed carry, the sunset of the ‘assault’ weapons ban, and an end to the 1930s firearms act which in many ways effectively bans civilian ownership of automatic weapons.
2) I believe in a 3% FLAT TAX with NO deductions for anyone, from working poor to elite corporation-owning millionaire. I believe this money should be used for building roads, schools, strengthening the military, NOT for bailing out failing private business ventures.
3) I believe in the disillusion of Social Security. It is a failed program that can and is raided by the federal government at will to pay for pet projects. It will NOT be around when my generation needs to retire, so we should be allowed to opt out and invest our savings how WE choose.
4) I believe in a strong and secure border with both Mexico and Canada. I believe that ILLEGAL aliens should be stopped from entering this country at all costs. I believe that the solution to the alien problem is NOT another broad spectrum amnesty program, which only rewards criminals.
5) I believe that the United Nations is a dangerous tyrannical organization which stands as a direct threat to national sovereignty and our constitution. I believe that the United States should immediately withdraw from this body and cease the unthinkably gargantuan contributions that we give to it on an annual basis.
6) I believe in the immediate repealing of unconstitutional and discriminatory affirmative action policies, which clearly violate the 14th Amendment in both letter and spirit.
I could go on and on, but clearly, I am NOT a big government socialist liberal. I do not see the Bush administration as DIVERGENT from true principles of classical “leave me the F alone” classic conservative principles. If you wish to attack me because I don’t support your golden boy, than go right ahead. But remember, that in so doing you may have lost yet another potential ally in your struggle to get this country back on the right track.
