I never let anyone down when they are being honest.
Here we go.
My Conservative Values
(1.) Family, and the sanctity of the family unit. It doesn't 'take a village', it takes PARENTS. I agree. I spanked my children, and they have warned my grandchildren that I will swat if they misbehave in my home. Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child: I believe that to the core of my heart. Honesty, integrity, faithfulness, fidelity, not only from spouse to spouse, but from parent to child as well as child to parent.
(2.) The Sanctity of Life I do believe in capital punishment in extreme situations. I do believe in exceptions for abortion limited to rape, incest, and life of the mother.
(3.) Fiscal Responsibility: I don't believe in BALANCED BUDGETS because at times budgets won't balance in extreme situations (World War II, for instance). SS taxes into only the SS fund, no Xfrs to General fund, with SS reform. Medicare/Medicaid entitlements preserved with reform (I don't know how this will work). Severe reductions in Defense, with 10 to 12 carrier groups, 6 to 8 divisions heavy on light and spec op troops, sufficient air wings and missiles to project immediate retaliation world wide. End all ear marks.
Homes and businesses are required to operate on a BUDGET, our government bears that SAME RESPONSIBILITY. Balance the budget and cut 5% more earmarked for debt reduction. Suck it up, we're BROKE!
(4.) Personal Liberty: Do you mean, "Do whatever you want in your personal space as long as you don't hurt me in my private space?"
(5.) Religious Freedom: I agree that no one can make you a Baptist if you don't want, that no one can make you marry someone you don't want, no one can make you have an abortion. I do see problems in tax-supported venues, in particular in public schools. I don't how to handle multiple belief/non-beliefs in schools other than hands off by the school authorities. I am open to any suggestions.
