There are so many parts of my belief system that are moderate. I don't like the extremes on either side. I mess around on this thread, call people names and just have a little fun. But I know the guys who post along with me and if treated fairly I think the democrats of the thread would be surprised

My Beliefs

Legal abortion - not a good method of birth control but people have to meet their own maker and explain

Legalize Pot - waste of money to put pot heads in jail. Take the market away from the dealers who pay no taxes

Gun Control - I hate guns - I was shot with one but I don't think making handguns illegal is a solution. We'll created a black market that only criminals will use

Religion - take it out of politics. No God that we pray to would support war. That doesn't mean no wars but war in the name of god and civil rights doesn't work for me

SS - We need to invest SS into areas of growth. We should all own our SS accounts and be able to place them in areas we see fit. Pride of ownership is a great thing.

Banking - Banks are making a mistake by dropping credit cards with 10k limits to everyone. I understand that its up to people to be prudent but I think banks must also be prudent. When people get in over their head because a bank has extended too much credit I'm not so sure I want to bail out the banks.

Gays - I don't care if people are gay. Leave them alone. Extension of benefits is where I draw the line. Marriage was always a religious thing. The reason it started being done by a justice of the peace was because as we moved west we didn't have enough Ministers and Priests. Marriage is a religious thing and should not be extended to gay people.

Loss of property - the loss of personal property for the benefit of rebuilding to create tax dollars is wrong. People who own property in an area where developers want to build should be able to hold up developers for the highest amount possible. Thats capitalism and the American way.

IRS - we should put this out of our misery. We can find a better way to tax with consumption based taxation. Businesses would collect which would lower the amount of tax cheats. The also usually own property so if they cheat we can seize assets.

Global relief - Its time to put an end to billion dollar payments to countries to be our friends. In most cases aid in the form of drugs etc. would be better for the people of those countries. It also would lower corruption by their Governments.

War - don't go to war unless you can answer this question with a yes. If at the end of the day you're not willing to lay waste to an entire population you probably should re-think things.

Pork - its on both sides and it needs to end. Both parties are responsible - only the direction of spending changes.

More freedom - fewer issues of having big brother watch.

Child molestation - 1 event and you're out. Prison for life.

Rapists - 2 strikes an you're out. Women are victimized by this process and I don't want that to contune. If someone had raped my ex-wife I would have hunted them down and killed them. She's the mother of my child so I might still be willing to kill over that. I don't understand killing like we had Monday but I do understand revenge killing over rape and child molestation

Alternative fuel - we need a Nasa like effort to get off oil

Death Penalty - in clear cut cases - go for it

Term Limits - its way past time

I could go on and on and I think most repubs on the board would agree with a lot of what I'm saying
