No press 1 in government, but private citizens and business get to do what they want here without government interference. <BR/><BR/>Would Americans who only speak English be allowed to go to non-English speaking countries? <BR/><BR/>2. The shock of doing that quickly would cripple our economy. <BR/><BR/>3. Free trade helps everyone. Make sure it is free--If someone else adds taxes and restrictions to stuff we sell, we do the same to them. <BR/><BR/>4. People who served honorably for most of their life will be drafted? <BR/><BR/>5. <BR/><BR/>6. If we are going to have welfare, people should be doing something useful--Picking up garbage, or manning a border tower. If you've got money from drugs, cigarettes or alcohol you don't need any more of my money. <BR/><BR/>7. The government should not do anything with pro athletics. That means teams build their own stadiums, pay their own taxes, <BR/><BR/>8. It needs to be possible to live a lawful life--I don't think it is possible now. Real crimes with real victims should be really punished. <BR/><BR/>9. Nobody will buy. <BR/><BR/>10. Foreign aid should be done cynically, and only when it directly benefits America. <BR/><BR/>11. Not in schools. Requiring a forced pledge under duress weakens the idea of honor. It isn't duress for Congress, that's their job. <BR/><BR/>12. What sporting events, and why? Kids soccer games? Pick-up games? <BR/><BR/>I don't see this platform as conservative, I see it as fascist--More government control, less freedom. A government powerful enough to do these things you want will be powerful enough to do a bunch you don't want. We need less government, period.Sevesteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439626386416115766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192245773038975219.post-77023410717430301902008-08-29T00:37:00.000-05:002008-08-29T00:37:00.000-05:00If only we could elect someone with those kind of ...If only we could elect someone with those kind of stones.nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550167783969561280noreply@blogger.com
