Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
4>4 Personal answerI think this is a State's rights issue and the federal government should stay out of this area. |
Social › Gay Marriage
4>4 Personal answerAgain, this is a state's rights issue and the federal government should stay out of it. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
4>4 Personal answerYes, especially since it has been shown over and over again that our government is INCAPABLE of properly screening these people. And again, we have substantial needs amongst our own people. Why should taxpayers subsidize these refugees? Why can't they stay in other parts of their own country where the ISIS danger does not exist and where they can be protected by participating nations as a whole? |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
4>4 Personal answerPlanned Parenthood initially was set up to help people. It should never have taken any stance on abortion or ever assisted women in this regard. Pregnancy prevention, not pregnancy termination, should be its motto. It should look to charitable foundations for funding, not taxpayers. |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
4>4 Personal answerNo, and eliminate all wage standards |
the Environment › Climate Change
4>4 Personal answerIt has been conclusively proven that global warming was a hoax, that the "scientists" and others supporting this hoax intentionally ignored, and selectively cited, current and historical data, and we now know the Earth is in a cooling trend. Weather is cyclical. Our climate has remained the same for the hundreds of years records have been kept. The last book Michael Crichton wrote before his death, State of Fear (2006) completely debunked the global warming myth. But not before Al Gore and his ilk got obscenely rich off of it. |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
4>4 Personal answerNo, private businesses should decide the amount of competitive incentives they offer to employees instead of a government mandate |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
4>4 Personal answerService should be a choice unless the threat to our country is so great and we are at war, that more soldiers are needed. We should also take better care of our Veterans, including providing better pay during service, and better benefits upon leaving the service. |
Immigration › Immigration
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only if born here. And, their illegal parents should be made to follow the rules to become a citizen. |
Social › Death Penalty
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Marijuana
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only for medical use |
Social › Government Mandates
4>4 Personal answerNo, the government should not decide what services a private business can provide |
Social › Confederate Flag
4>4 Personal answerThe Confederate flag was a symbol of the Southern fight for state's rights. Much like we did when we revolted against England, one of the main reasons the South seceded was financial and lack of representation. The issue of slavery did not arise until the later years of the war. Many Northerners also had slaves. Lincoln reluctantly made it an issue when the war was not going well for the North. The flag is not racist in itself, even though some have given it that connotation. The federal government should stay out of this issue. Let each state, county and local government decide itself what flags can be flown on their respective properties. |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo, it is unconstitutional to deny someone’s rights without due process |
Social › Women in Combat
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Medicaid
4>4 Personal answerNo, and each state should decide their own level of coverage |
Immigration › Border Security
4>4 Personal answerYes, and both the federal government and the state government should work to see our borders are secure and immigration laws enforced. Borders, Language, and Culture need to be protected and preserved, or we will cease to be the United States. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
4>4 Personal answerQualifications should determine who sits on the Board. Government should not be involved in private business. |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
4>4 Personal answerIllegal immigrants know they broke the law by coming here. How can anyone possibly justify them getting benefits for which we legal citizens pay? Even if they pay taxes, they broke the law and are continuing to break the law by being and working in this country. Taxes are a consequence of their illegal actions. The better solution is to enforce strictly our immigration laws and encourage immigrants to seek citizenship legally. We have a difficult enough time taking care of our own citizens who need assistance. Why should we subsidize people here illegally/ California is Bankrupt due, in no small part, to the substantial amount of revenue it expends for those illegally in theis country, including health care, education, welfare, disability, etc. |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
4>4 Personal answerNo. And the government should stay out of private business, especially the energy business. The behemoth Department of Energy was established in 1977 with the main purpose of reducing US dependence on foreign oil. Almost 50 years later, after spending hundreds of billions of dollars, we are even more dependent on foreign oil than in 1977. |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Voter Fraud
4>4 Personal answerYes, this will help prevent voter fraud. Look at all the other things in our life that require us to prove our identity in order to take advantage of such services. Getting a photo ID in every state is easy and inexpensive. There are a number of organizations which will even assist for free. |
the Economy › Government Spending
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Israel
4>4 Personal answerYes, but respect Israel’s sovereignty and do not dictate how it should interact with its neighbors |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
4>4 Personal answerYes, and remove multilingual translations from government documents and services |
Social › First Amendment
4>4 Personal answerNo, religion is an important aspect of our country’s history |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Euthanasia
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
4>4 Personal answerI do not know enough about this issue, including what is needed and what effect on the economy. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
4>4 Personal answerHelp, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Education › Common Core
4>4 Personal answerNo, education should be handled at the state and local level instead of the national level |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
4>4 Personal answerYes, and deregulate the energy sector to let the free market determine the best energy sources |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
4>4 Personal answerThe UN is an extremely corrupt and ineffective organization. The US should withdraw and remove the UN from this country. The US should form and organization with its allies and not let any countries wishing us harm to join. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
4>4 Personal answerNo, government should not be involved in healthcare |
the Environment › Fracking
4>4 Personal answerYes, but increase oversight |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
4>4 Personal answerNorth Korea is China's puppet. It will do what China says. China constantly uses North Korea as a dupe to test the international climate. Right now, North Korea is flexing its little muscles for China and the result is that all the other nations seemingly are not willing to do anything except bluster and rhetoric. Both China and North Korea should be assured that, if North Korea commits one aggressive act, it will be invaded and it government dismantled. Most North Koreans live in perpetual fear. Millions are incarcerated in prison camps under horrendous conditions. Multiple generations are born in those prisons and never get out. The life expectancy is very low. North Korea is amongst the tops for human rights violations in the world. Why hasn't anything been done? Because China protects its puppet and everyone is afraid of China. |
Foreign Policy › Torture
4>4 Personal answerEnhanced interrogation should be allowed as well as psychological interrogation. These terrorists perform extreme atrocities on anyone, including innocent civilians. Our enhanced interrogation is child's play compared to what they do. This question should really be answered by someone under the threat of terrorism, or who has family of friends in captivity or otherwise affected by a terrorist act. You can pretty much guess what the answer will be 99.9% of the time. |
Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops
4>4 Personal answerSend in what it takes in a joint effort with other nations to eradicate ISIS. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
4>4 Personal answerThe aid should be substantially decreased across the board. No country espousing, condoning or causing any harm to the US, or which fails to support US policy, should be given one penny of aid. We cannot afford to pay billions of dollars to other countries when our deficit is so great. |
Foreign Policy › Drones
4>4 Personal answerYes, if the particular country permits such. If the particular country is at war with us, then no permission is necessary. |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
4>4 Personal answerNo, they are enemy combatants and should be treated as such. Trial in a Military Tribunal and no Constitutional rights for non-citizens. For citizens who are accused of terrorism, they get the rights allowed by the rules of the Military Tribunal. |
Foreign Policy › War on ISIS
4>4 Personal answerWe should jointly, with other nations do whatever is necessary to eradicate ISIS, what term one wants to call it. |
Science › Space Exploration
4>4 Personal answerYes, including for strategic and military purposes. |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerIt depends upon what the surveillance consists of. I am confident our allies spy on us as well. |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
4>4 Personal answerYes but we need guarantees from Cuba to end all of the human rights violations it commits. And the trade scale should be balanced. |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
4>4 Personal answerNo, end all government subsidies and let the free market run its course |
Foreign Policy › Russian Airstrikes in Syria
4>4 Personal answerIf Russia is truly trying to take out ISIS, fine. But I suspect there is an alterior motive about which I have not yet researched. |
the Economy › Property Taxes
4>4 Personal answerNo. Reduce spending. |
the Economy › Pension Reform
4>4 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Bitcoin
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
4>4 Personal answerNo, there are too many hidden provisions in this specific agreement |
