My Stand

Earlier today I was talking to a friend about his stand on several different issues of politics. He then asked me my stand and it got me thinking about that subject. I realized that while I may have stated my beliefs about a few different areas, I have not clearly defined my stand on this blog. So here it goes.

I would consider myself to be a strong, right wing Conservative. I do not believe in abortion, I do not believe in gay rights, I do not believe in giving illegal aliens citizenship, and I do not believe in backing down from this war.

I do believe in a strong government, but not to the point that it overtakes the people’s freedoms. I believe foreign relations is important, but not so much that we fail to assert authority when needed. Some people say we should not “police” the world, but when there’s a dictator (aka. Sadaam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Kim Jong-il, etc) who no one else will stand up to, it is our position (whether they directly threatened us or not) to ensure the world’s safety.

I do believe that Reagan was by far, one of our best Presidents ever, and I do believe that Carter and Clinton would be in close running as the worst Presidents so far. (Although if Hillary gets elected, she will win the prize in my book!)

As far as religion, I am Baptist. Hence, I do hold to alot of the old traditions and values of morality on which our country was founded.

These are my beliefs….I know they arent very popular but hey, thats okay! I believe what I believe and I will vote that way! I feel it is necessary to take this (and every) election seriously and to do my part as an American citizen to keep this nation great! (Oh I forgot to add that I am nationalistic….as if you couldn’t already tell )
