Agree: 0.00%
•	Abortion	ConComments For starters, Roe v Wade is an example of bad case law and legislating from the bench. Legal abortion would have a real leg to stand on if the decision was based on something that actually existed. Whether abortion is moral or not, I suppose, is subjective. Even so, abortion was never meant to be a primary method of contraception. I believe it is morally wrong, I understand that is subjective. But I don't understand how someone can disagree with me that using abortion as a primary method of contraception and then sticking the taxpayer with the bill is immoral.
•	Affirmative Action	ConComments It is simply racism. I have never owned a slave, no one in my family has ever owned a slave. Slavery hasn't existed in the US for many, many years. If someone is more qualified or scores higher, they should get the job. Affirmative action continues to pump life into racism.
•	Animal Rights	ConComments Animal rights is nothing more than a vehicle to control people. I am not against treating animals humanely, even the ones raised to be killed for food. I am against magazine limits, lead free ammunition, and telling people what they can and cannot wear.
•	Barack Obama	ConComments A complete disaster. He is not the worst POTUS, not by a long shot. But a complete disaster. In many cases, he is the status quo, the continuation of stupid; gas prices continue to rise, government spending out of control, and strengthening the power and size of the federal government. The fact is, there is a reasonable doubt regarding his birth, one of the few requirements to become President. Universal healthcare was shoved down the throats of Americans. Presided over Operation Fast
•	Border Fence	ProComments Having a physical, man-made barrier to separate countries just plain makes sense, particularly when you have issues illegal trafficking of people, drugs, and weapons. And of course it legitimizes those borders.
•	Capitalism	ProComments Freedom is always best!
•	Civil Unions	ProComments Marriage is a religious institution that celebrates the union of a single man and single women who wish to create a family. A civil union is a government sanctioned union between two adults. The distinction is clear. If a gay couple wants the hospital visitation rights thing, I don't see any reason why not.
•	Death Penalty	ProComments It is natural. It is revenge. It is a deterrent. It offers closure. It punishes. It must be done properly, fairly, and in accordance with our Constitution.
•	Drug Legalization	ConComments Drugs are immoral and offer no benefit to the user nor the country. Junkies and addicts are burdensome, and drugs are very typically associated with crime. There are only two benefits to legalizing drugs; the ability to tax it and not filling our prisons with junkies. Taxes are awful to begin with, the government over taxes and manages to overspend. We cannot tax ourselves out of our problems and quite frankly any new tax revenue will already be earmarked to be spent. The government shouldn't have any more money than it needs to operate. As far as the prisons go, we can offer alternative punishments. Some would say that legalization would promote freedom, on one hand I agree. On the other freedom isn't being enslaved to a substance nor its dealer whether that dealer is a cartel, a government, or a corporation.
•	Electoral College	ProComments Pro. Keeps mob rule down to a minimum. Avoids a nationwide recount. Requires distribution of votes across the country,
•	Environmental Protection	ConComments Like animal rights, it would hold more water if it wasn't a vehicle to controlling people. Instead in the name of environmental protection we have elevated costs of business which leads to outsourcing and job loss, additionally we have the ridiculous lead free ammo bans coming out in force. Waste should of course be regulated.
•	Estate Tax	Con
•	European Union	ConComments Commies.
•	Euthanasia	ProComments A person should have the right to end their own life, if someone doesn't wish to live any longer they shouldn't be forced to live in a prison of their own pain. It should of course be done in an appropriate manner that doesn't put lives at risk, particularly EMTs speeding down the freeway.
•	Federal Reserve	N/O
•	Flat Tax	ProComments In my opinion, much more fair than a progressive tax.
•	Free Trade	N/O
•	Gay Marriage	ConComments As indicated in the civil union section, marriage is a religious institution for one man and one woman to create a family. A gay couple does not fit this description nor does any religious text that I am aware of sanction this. "Anti" gay marriage is not an attempt to keep a gay couple separate, it is meant to keep marriage as it should be. By all means, if two consenting adults want to be together, please do.
•	Global Warming Exists	N/OComments I lean to the con/against side. While there is some information worth investigating the pro/for side has so much bias, junk science, and uses it as a vehicle for weakening personal liberty that they lose credibility. And Al Gore is an idiot.
•	Globalization	N/O
•	Gold Standard	N/O
•	Gun Rights	ProComments I am the most pro-gun person you will ever meet.
•	Homeschooling	Pro
•	Internet Censorship	ConComments 1st Amendment.
•	Iran-Iraq War	N/OComments Don't understand what your asking. How is one pro or con for the Iran-Iraq war?
•	Labor Union	ProComments I am for a group of employees have the right to unionize, strike and picket. Additionally, I support business having the right to hire and fire for whatever reason they wish. Protecting rights, real rights is important. However, I dislike unions and feel they have outlived their purpose and only hurt the employees. In other words I hate unions, but I support their right to unionize.
•	Legalized Prostitution	ProComments Prohibiting prostitution is just ridiculous on so many levels. I'll try to briefly cover them. For starters, you're legislating a private, natural act between to consenting adults that everyone does. They say it is the oldest profession, because it is. All you are doing is creating outlaws from a natural act that is victimless and non violent. What's next? Are you going to go after gold digging wives? How about the boyfriend who gets laid because he made his girlfriend dinner. The benefit of regulation puts pimps out of business, tax revenue, not locking people up for a non-crime, and being able implement health/sanitation codes.
•	Medicaid & Medicare	Con
•	Medical Marijuana	ConComments MJ has no legitimate use in medicine. Pharmaceutical company's pump billions of dollars into creating real drugs. This is nothing more than a vehicle/backdoor to eventually legalize it.
•	Military Intervention	N/OComments How can one be 100% for military intervention or 100% against? Don't the circumstances matter? I am for it when it is necessary and against it when it isn't.
•	Minimum Wage	ConComments Watch some Milton Friedman. Minimum wage was originally a tool to put down minority's. It strengthens illegal immigration and hurts the uneducated, the unskilled, young people, women, and minority's.
•	National Health Care	Con
•	National Retail Sales Tax	ConComments Taxes suck.
•	Occupy Movement	Con
•	Progressive Tax	Con
•	Racial Profiling	ProComments Yes, it works. As long as no laws are broken it should be allowed. Additionally, people should be allowed to have their own biases, that is called freedom.
•	Redistribution	Con
•	Smoking Ban	ConComments I hate smoking. But tobacco is ingrained in our culture, we have too much invested in tobacco.
•	Social Programs	Con
•	Social Security	Con
•	Socialism	ConComments Hate socialism!
•	Stimulus Spending	Con
•	Term Limits	ProComments Of course! That is one of the biggest problems in our county is career politicians.
•	Torture	ConComments I agree with Justice Scalia that 8th Amendment only prohibits torture as a punishment. That being said, I additionally believe that the Constitution only applies to and should only apply to American citizens. For the purposes of the slippery slope, I do not support cruel and unusual punishment.
•	United Nations	ConComments Giant waste of money and haven't done anything worth talking about. Just protect international criminals.
•	War in Afghanistan	Pro
•	War on Terror	Pro
•	Welfare	Con
