AaronP's Political Ideology (NOT in order of importance), if I missed an issue, tell me and I will comment on it!
1. Gun Control - Anybody ever comes to my house and tells me that I can't have my semi-automatic pistol or rifle had better be wearing a flak jacket. I believe that as long as someone is a law abiding citizen, that person has the right to bear arms. I believe that the current laws are MORE THAN ENOUGH to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. IF THEY ARE ENFORCED!
2. Abortion - I believe abortion is morally wrong. I have no religious ideology behind my view, I simply beleive that unborn babies are innocent life, and they should have rights too. The whole "woman's body" crap that the feminists try to push is a corrupt philosohpy. A society is ultimatly judged by how it treats those who can't defend themselves. I think that in 100 or 1000 years, we will be looked back on as savages for allowing abortions to happen.
3. The Environment - I believe global warming is happening, however I do not think it is man's doing. If you look at a graph of the last thousands of years of the earth's climate, our planet's temperature has natural flucttuations. The Kyoto Treaty is the biggest load of crap ever. The HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars that it would cost the US economy for a VERY MARGINAL, insignificant decrease in the warming trend that may not even happen is what I call a BAD INVESTMENT. And hey, the earth's ice caps are actually getting COLDER, its not like the oceans will rise and Denver Colorado will become the last city in the USA! HAHA
4. OIL - I would like to see a large goverment investment (probably in the form of tax breaks) for research, and real progress towards alternative fuels. We need to make the transition eventually, and it's better to start early and take our time building a new infrastructure. I for one do NOT like to be beholden to corrupt middle eastern countries for oil. As for ANWAR, I say drill away! In the Prudhoe Bay oil fields, the Caribu flourish, and modern oil facilities would NOT harm the envirment in that area. It's not like its a great area anyways, its a fricken tundra. AND, the area that they are want to drill is NO BIGGER THAN DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT!
5. Terrorism - I say cut out the crap! We need to take a much harder stance with countries that say one thing and do another (Saudi Arabia). And I beleive Bush was correct in his Axis of Evil statement. Iran is controleld by Mullahs and Clerics would love to see us all die. And North Korea! ever wonder why there is never any cameras or video footage brought back from there? From what little I have seen that has been smuggled out, North Korea is like one huge NAZI concentration camp. The people are in such horrible shape there. Famine, a totalitarian regime. If that's not evil, I don't know what is. And I won't even get started on Saddam.
6. Drugs, Tobacco, and Alcohol - I say legalize pot and tax the hell out of it. Also increase the tax on cigs. I think just about all states have a drinking age of 21, I think it should remain there. Also, legalizing pot should give politicians to go even more hardcore on the hard stuff, crack, cocaine, heroin. I say, keep dumping pesticides all over Columbia till the whole country is Arid, or they do something real to stop their drug trade.
7. Immigration - in england, a law was just passed, all legal immigrants must be able to speak english, I think that should come over here too. Also, I realize there is a need for mexican workers to do the dirty jobs that Americans seem too snooty to want to do know. We need to establish some sort of system to allow them to work here, pay taxes, and work towards citizenship. However, it needs to be tightly regulated. The American southwest is in a cultural war of its own right now, with such a large percent of mexicans living there, and taking advantage of America, while their hearts, minds, and ultimate loyalty still belongs to Mexico. I say, if you come here to work, you'd better get over your beloved Mehico! I think the National Guard should be deployed along the border, and Pat Buchanon's big wall idea wasn't that far fetched.
8. European relations - we can just put up with their sh*t, its all a lot of meaningless posturing, deep down, they all know that the USA is what makes the world go around right now, and they actually take comfort in the fact that big uncle USA is always there to defend em if they need our help. All the stuff we read about liberal Europeans dissing us and talking trash is just a huge case of penis envy.
9. Religion - practice whatever you want, I have no problem with missionary work and preaching, but PLEASE respect other wishes if they don't want to hear it.
10. Health Care - sure, in some sort of Utopian world where everything was efficient, there was no embezzling, some world where Gene Roddenberry could have orgasms all day, government health care would be nice, however in reality, it is just too damn inneficient. I was watching the British House of Commons debate their goverment health care system the other day on CSPAN and it sounded like a nightmare, people being refused treatments, 35 day hospital stays for something that should be overnight, and many other problems. Canada has many similar problems. In the US, NO-ONE will be denied emergency treatment, and frankly, just about anyone who has a full time job can get health care for their entire family for ~50 dollars a month. And despite all the horror stories about HMO's, in reality, they provide a TON of service for a very low cost. I for one defend HMO's.
11. Other stuff : I believe that all interstate Higways (4 lanes or more) should have variable speed limit, 80 MPH during the day, 70 MPH at night. I believe that Mars exploration should become a priorty in the US. The LEAN Mars plan that Dr. Zubrin promotes should be the way the US goes.
I have to pee now, and want to watch Star Trek TNG, so thats's all. I look forward to your replies!
