I love the America that was founded, that I read about in our books, so much like home. But there have been many mistakes made, the invasion of the Native American homelands, from the first invasions in the 15th century, continuing on until the USA was completely established. The horrible persecution of the Native American population, the mistakes made in America’s attitude toward other nations (too many to mention here), the failure to abide by legal treaties and verbal or written promises and, finally, America’s attempting to force democracy on countries that don’t want it, their intervention in other peoples civil wars, their attempt to be the worlds police force and their use of military force to protect their own business interests in other countries. If another country want’s your business out of their country, with some manner of compensation, that is their right. As an example of their mistakes, look at how your other nations all seem to hate America, even the ones that smile to your face and curse you behind your back. America will soon be partially destroyed, from within and without, and will never be the power it once was. I hope most of you will avoid the destruction, but some of you will, many of you will not. It is sad how The Creator made such a beautiful land, that was preserved by the native peoples love of His Creation (however, they to came here from elsewhere too) and the invaders, though some with respect for the creation, laid waste to it and will soon see how war and pollution and desecration can ruin this creation and the people that live in it. May The Creator bless you and keep you from harm.

Very strong libertarian but moderate when it comes to money issues. I have to be a little different when it comes to money because money is power. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. No single man can handle that responsibility.
I am a liberal/conservative. I believe in more state control and less federal control. I believe in a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
I believe, as our founders did, in a government based on the principals of “God-given rights”. I believe in freedom of religion and non-interference in religion by government as our constitution says. It does not say that any public entity cannot display religious symbols. It says that the government cannot impose a particular religion on any citizen. All religions have the right to be represented in the USA, without interference. The ACLU does not have the right to interfere with any religion or any persons right to do what their religion suggests, unless it violates a different law.
- Democracy is the best way to preserve the rights of the individual in society, which I feel is extremely important. Dictatorships and anarchy are both bad ideas in this respect.
- A one world nation is a good idea that would enable business to flourish as well as ensure the government can handle global threats and provide more relief to poverty and disaster stricken areas. War would be almost non-existent.
- Patriotism is wrong.
- Developing science and technology is important to improving the world we live in.
- It is important to have elements of both socialism and capitalism in society.
- Though I do not believe in the abolition of money or private property, high taxes are a good way to ensure everyone has their basic needs.
- Corporations need to be monitored because they cannot be trusted to voluntarily protect the environment.
- I am opposed to high military spending.
- All drugs should be legalized, but closely regulated.
- People should not be forced into a career choice or lifestyle by society, so long as they obey the law.
- The justice system should focus on rehabilitation more than punishment.
- The government should be secular and not racist, sexist or homophobic. Citizens and private businesses have a full right to express their prejudice in these areas through freedom of speech and press.
