I’ve been told Its hard to figure out where I stand politically. A lot. I’m not that hard to figure out. what you do is take a basic amount of common sense, a strong desire to leave other people to hell alone, and an even stronger desire to be left alone, and you have my political viewpoint.
I should end this post right there, but then I’d have people praying for roscoe to chew my nads off , and we can’t have that. So what I’m going to do is list some things I feel strongly about, why I feel that way, and maybe even ad lib a little..just for a change of pace.
Abortion. I think this is the issue rolled out every four years to incite the masses so that we can get a whopping half the people in this country to vote. I am neither for nor against. I do not have ovaries. what I am for is letting a woman choose what to do with her body.
Gun control. very important. If you don’t have control you may not hit what you’re aiming at, and I’m very anti-miss on that. I think guns are inanimate objects, and therefore should not be legislated against. I do however believe that because people are so incredibly messed in the head that it should be a very difficult process to get a gun. There should be medical and criminal background checks, including fingerprinting. there should be at least a 30 day waiting period, and each state should have a “gun board” that deals in nothing but approving or disapproving gun purchases.
Healthcare: I believe there should be a safety net for those who are not able to work, and I believe that if you have the wherewithal to hire people you should have the wherewithal to insure them. If this means controlling the cost of insurance I’m ok with that. Lets face it, demanding that we carry auto insurance causes car insurance to go up. If the government is willing to force prices upward they should also force prices downward.
foreign policy. Its hard to negotiate when you’re the toughest dog on the block. you’d rather just bite the bastard that’s pissing you off and get it over with. I think the use of our military globally should be a last resort, and when diplomacy fails and it is used we should use it without mercy. If it’s worth going to war over it is worth doing the “terrible swift sword” thing, and annihilating the opposition.
Immigration. Unlawful immigrants should be detained and removed without prejudice. they should be able to have a hearing to seek political asylum and then should be sent home. Legal immigration should be open to anyone without regard to need, ability or ethnicity. A lottery would work fine as far as i’m concerned. We make issues like this harder than they are. has anyone sought to grant amnesty to the millions of americans who went to prison for crimes against property (versus crimes against a person)? Nope. They let them carry that label for life. So why give amnesty to people that come from elsewhere illegally?
Voters rights. This one is the cause of all our problems. I don’t think just anyone should be allowed to vote. I think you should be required to pass a test. Voting should never be a right, but rather a privilege for those who take the time to understand what is going on. Don’t hand me crap about to expensive and to time consuming. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles could administer the test along with your driving test.
Gay Rights. I’ve known a lot of gay people. they act just like hetero people…except for the whole sex thing. This one is simple. they should have the same rights as anyone else, including marriage. What do I care if rosie wants to marry Paula Abdul? or If Ron Paul wants to marry Henry Gibson? I don’t care if you marry a panda as long as you keep your hand off my ass without my consent
political corruption. This should be treated like a cop who commits murder. They have been put in a position of trust, and if found guilty the punishment should be fair firm and impartial. Loss of all benefits should be part of the punishment, and the sentence should reflect the feelings of society at large…in other words if they embezzle tax payer money the sentence should be the same as if they embezzled funds from a company. If a congressman wants to go there and do nothing ala Ron Paul then the voters have the choice to get rid of him…thats not a crime.
sex crimes. I love the registry, but I think we need to go further. I think the deth penalty should be an option on the second offense, and no less than 20 years in prison on the first. I know its a disease they say, but a lot of this type of diseases can be cured with a bullet through the medulla oblongata. No mercy for these sicko’s that destroy others lives, and to be honest they should start by imprisoning the judges who make light of sex crimes…and there are a lot of them.
Diet soda. It should be outlawed. No questions asked, and the people who produce it should be taken into the town square and be flogged until they are unconscious. All diet soda’s taste worse than …well…anything else.
Corporal punishment. I am for. If you get caught stealing a good asswhipping in front of the townspeople will probably discourage that behaviour in yourself and those who view it. We spend to much money on incarceration when flogging would be inexpensive, and quite likely more effective.
capital punishment. I’m okay with it if the case is a prima facie case. No other case should even have it as an option. Certainly not a circumstantial case. Here again though it should be public. Let everyone see exactly what happens when you kill your wife, or nanuk at the convenience store. Deterrance hidden behind walls is not deterrance.
this isn’t everything, but it makes a nice starting point.
