About Me:	I am a nice and kind person who likes to get into issues of politics and so on. So I found this debate.org site and really like it. I found it when I was researching how great Richard Nixon was because we all know that and that is how I found debate.org. Nothing much you need to know about me, but I excel in history class and have gained a great interest in several subjects. I guess the question is if my vast knowledge in history can help me in debates It is a terrific site and I hope I have some jolly fun here! PS: I tend to lean more conservative than liberal. I would like to become a politician, possibly a governor for my state.

•	Abortion	ConComments Its your choice to have sex with another person. You should be aware of what can happen even if you use protection. The whole point of sexual reproduction anyway is to produce children. I only take an exception to rape victims.
•	Affirmative Action	Con
•	Animal Rights	ConComments Animals should have some rights so they are not hurt and violated, but we should not give them the same rights as humans. They should only get limited rights.
•	Barack Obama	ConComments Wasting spending and raising taxes. He has been a bad president.
•	Border Fence	ProComments There are so many benefits to a border fence. They are often a very cheap and at the same time effective measure to stop illegal immigration. Meanwhile, the costs of illegal immigration, which is often dependent on government aid, is spiraling out of control.
•	Capitalism	ProComments This economic system allows anyone to rise to the top and become successful.
•	Civil Unions	Con
•	Death Penalty	Pro
•	Drug Legalization	ProComments Drugs should be legalized in favor of more free markets and economic growth.

•	Environmental Protection	ConComments I believe that we should keep places that are already protected. There is no need to currently heavily expand our environmental protection.
•	Estate Tax	ConComments A wasteful tax.
•	European Union	Con
•	Euthanasia	Pro
•	Federal Reserve	ProComments Central banks do have a place in monetary policy. The Fed can work well if under good leadership and a gold standard would greatly assist it.
•	Flat Tax	ProComments The flat tax is a pro-growth and pro-equality tax plan.
•	Free Trade	ProComments Free trade is a human right. It allows everyone to work hard to become wealthy.

•	Global Warming Exists	ProComments It exists, the debate is over if it is man-made.
•	Globalization	ProComments Free trade is an important system to bring more prosperity to the world.
•	Gold Standard	ProComments It would raise the value of the country's currency.
•	Gun Rights	ProComments Statistics have shown that gun control does not reduce crime. The Second Ammendment is there for a reason.
•	Homeschooling	Pro
•	Internet Censorship	ProComments I am against child porn.
•	Iran-Iraq War	ProComments This war helped weaken both Iraq and Iran. Overall it benefitted the United States. It would be good to fuel another war between the two nations and supply both sides to make it long and hard for both of them.
•	Labor Union	Con
