Ideologically, I am a libertarian conservative, but I want to know if I lean more towards libertarian or more towards conservatism.
-Abortion: I am pro-life except for when the mother's health is at risk. However, I think leaving abortions up to the states is the closest pro-lifers will come in America. I also support working to reduce the amount of abortions that occur through teaching responsibility, providing birth control, and offering alternatives to abortions.
-Homosexuality: I am mixed in this area. I do not support same sex marriages or child adoption by homosexual couples, but I do support civil unions. Homosexuals are people and the government should not discriminate against anyone based on sexual orientation. I also support open homosexuals to serve in the military.
-Drugs: I am for drug legalization personally, but I think it should be left up to each state to decide as it is now. However, if it is legalized nationally, the government should regulate it to make more money, not for moral reasons.
- Death Penalty: I support the death penalty, but only for serious crimes like homicide and terrorism.
-Immigration: I have nothing at all against immigrants as long as they come to America legally. We do not need more laws regarding border control, instead we should enforce our current laws. However, offer amnesty immigrants who come here illegally only if they contribute to society.
-Euthanasia and attempted suicide: I am all for these things as long as the patient or their relatives has given the doctor permission to do so.
-Economy: Free market capitalism with some regulations for the health and safety of the workers and to prohibit monopolies. I support balanced trade. I support a flat tax.
-Welfare: Welfare should only be for people who actually need it and it should be temporary. A person who is qualified for welfare is someone with a serious disability or someone who is unemployed. Once they get a job and make enough to get by, they should get off of it.
-Inalienable Rights: I believe all people have the right to life, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of movement, freedom of religion, right to assembly, and the right to bear arms.
-Foreign Policy: America should not go to war unless it has been attacked. Justice should be served, but America should not be the world's police.
Education: If the government gave vouchers to parents, then there would be more money for private school and more kids in private school. This would mean the public schools would have less money and continue to be bad. Therefore I oppose government vouchers.
The public school should not favor any religion, student led prayers are okay, teacher led and school led prayers are not. Teach both evolution and creationism and stress that they are both only theories, or do not teach any origin theories.
