1. Pro-environment. For the most part I completely agree, we should support National Parks etc, but when pro-environment becomes anti-people (California Farmers with no water because of 3 fish in a river; loggers losing jobs over an owl that lives in K-mart signs just as well as trees, loss of power infrastructure to massively inefficient windpower and gerbils on treadmills), there is a problem.
2. Oil and nuclear power are really the only fuel sources that can adequately power the economy. If renewable energy was any good, it would not need subsidies (esp bankrupt solar panel companies).
3. Agree, but also agree with #8
4. Absolutely agree. As Roosevelt said "Speak softly, but carry a big stick"
5. I am happy to support civil unions, but gay marriage (despite the Supreme Court) is an oxymoron. Thousands of years of human civilization have confirmed the unique benefits of a male and female parent bringing up the next generation.
6. There is no "separation of church and state" in the Constitution. Free speech enshrined in the First Amendment is the first for a reason. Yes there are some so-called reverends and fathers who are left-wing whackos. but that's what you have to put up with. The abolition of slavery in the UK as well as USA would not have occurred without the churches speaking out.
7. Completely agree
8. Completely agree
9. Being from the UK, I can provide a unique perspective on single payer health care..... It doesn't work. Health care is rationed, decisions on who gets what drugs are made by administrators not doctors, the wait time for operations such as hip replacements can be years. Yes there is a huge amount of waste and corruption in the health care system, but when the consumer buys health care directly, just like we buy gas or cars or food, prices will come down. It worked pretty well before.
10. Anytime the phrase "common sense" is used before any form of legislation you know that not one ounce of common sense is any where near it. How many thousands of gun control laws are on the books?, why would a new one be different. Let's have someone who will enforce existing gun laws.
11,12,13 Agree with for the most part.
I agree with all of this. Well stated.
