Twenty Things this Conservative Believes

[Fillerguy]

1) Any illegal alien caught in this country should be forever barred from legally visiting this country, working here, or becoming an American citizen.

2) If you take welfare or food stamps or if your kids have to get free meals at school, you should be ashamed. Your kids should feel ashamed by your failure, too.

3) There is no such thing as a conflict between Christianity and science or a reason for any Christian to have his religious beliefs override any conclusions that he'd reach by simply following the science. Any and all apparent conflicts between science and God are just a result of our limited human understanding. If there was evolution, God chose that path. If the world was created by a "Big Bang," God set it in motion.

4) William Bennett once said it was "morally plausible" to execute drug dealers. I agree with him. I'd also like to see the death penalty expanded to cover rape and child molestation as well.

5) It's unlikely to ever happen, but we'd be much better off in this country if the voting age were 25 and only people who paid income tax could vote.

6) All people except the poor should be paying enough in taxes to cover all the services they receive from the government each year. If they don't want to pay that much, then we should cut government down to a level that they think is worth paying.

7) On average, government workers should make less than people who do the same jobs in private industry.

8) Government workers also shouldn't be allowed to unionize. The Democrats give the government unions more taxpayer money and the unions take part of that money and use it to campaign for the Democrats, who then promise to give them more money in return. It's nothing but the Democratic Party and the unions collaborating against the taxpayers.

9) Ninety nine times out of a hundred when someone cries racism, it's either a lame excuse or a political tactic.

10) If you're a Christian, then your faith requires you to oppose gay marriage.

11) I wish the best for people everywhere, but I'm not a citizen of the world. I'm an American and our country comes first.

12) The biggest threat to America's future isn't Al-Qaeda, China, or Iran; it's our own government spending so much money that it bankrupts the country.

13) If you sue someone and lose, you should have to pay his legal bills.

14) Hand counting ballots is LESS ACCURATE than machine counting them and it allows human beings to manipulate the results of the election with arbitrary counting standards.

15) People who think black Americans are too stupid and incompetent to handle getting a voter ID are just as racist as the KKK, although they show it differently.

16) If public universities want to hire terrorists and communists to teach their classes, harass Christians, push around Republican groups, and bring in liberal speakers, but not conservatives, then state legislators should cut off their taxpayer funding until they behave.

17) We don't need to get religion out of politics; we need to get more religion in politics. The politicians certainly don't seem to have any qualms about stepping into areas better left to the church; so pastors have to be willing to encourage their flocks to vote their values to protect themselves from a rapacious government.

18) The whole purpose of our immigration system should be to benefit the Americans who are already here. Therefore, we should favor the best and brightest emigrants from Western cultures. Other immigrants to this country who get in because of family ties should have someone who's willing to vouch for them and take care of them if they have hard times. No naturalized American citizens should ever be eligible for food stamps, welfare, school lunches, or any other hand-outs from their fellow citizens.

19) You can no more change your sex than you can change from a human being into a Water Buffalo. Believing otherwise is a mental disorder that should be handled by a psychologist, not catered to with surgery. A doctor wouldn't cut off a healthy person's leg if he asked or cut out part of someone's brain because a voice in his head wanted it and sex change operations shouldn't be done either.

20) People who've served time in prison for committing a felony may have been punished, but they haven't "paid their debt to society." Repaying their debt would require them to be rehabilitated and to fully compensate their victims, which isn't even possible in some cases. Additionally, even if society forgives, it shouldn't forget. There's no way a felon should ever have the right to vote, own a gun, or teach children among other activities.

I agree

2) If you take welfare or food stamps or if your kids have to get free meals at school, you should be ashamed. Your kids should feel ashamed by your failure, too.

I DEFINITELY AGREE

3) There is no such thing as a conflict between Christianity and science or a reason for any Christian to have his religious beliefs override any conclusions that he'd reach by simply following the science. Any and all apparent conflicts between science and God are just a result of our limited human understanding. If there was evolution, God chose that path.

I don't see anything wrong with this.

4) William Bennett once said it was "morally plausible" to execute drug dealers. I agree with him. I'd also like to see the death penalty expanded to cover rape and child molestation as well.

It's the only viable solution.

5) It's unlikely to ever happen, but we'd be much better off in this country if the voting age were 25 and only people who paid income tax could vote.

People with the most stake in the elections should be given preference. People who pay negative taxes (welfare users and abusers) are really just a special interest group.

6) All people except the poor should be paying enough in taxes to cover all the services they receive from the government each year. If they don't want to pay that much, then we should cut government down to a level that they think is worth paying.

I 100% agree with the this statement.

7) On average, government workers should make less than people who do the same jobs in private industry

.

Government workers add no value to the economy. They such get would their economic output dictates, not what some lobbyist can argue for.

8) Government workers also shouldn't be allowed to unionize. The Democrats give the government unions more taxpayer money and the unions take part of that money and use it to campaign for the Democrats, who then promise to give them more money in return. It's nothing but the Democratic Party and the unions collaborating against the taxpayers.

I'll go a little farther and say all federal protections for unions should be removed. Unions are a government protected monopoly.

9) Ninety nine times out of a hundred when someone cries racism, it's either a lame excuse or a political tactic.

yup.

10) If you're a Christian, then your faith requires you to oppose gay marriage.

It's in the bible and all Abrahamic religions forbid homosexuality.

11) I wish the best for people everywhere, but I'm not a citizen of the world. I'm an American and our country comes first.

Nationalism is the best global political system.

12) The biggest threat to America's future isn't Al-Qaeda, China, or Iran; it's our own government spending so much money that it bankrupts the country.

There is no greater truth than this.

13) If you sue someone and lose, you should have to pay his legal bills.

Much more is needed to fix our broken tort law court system.

14) Hand counting ballots is LESS ACCURATE than machine counting them and it allows human beings to manipulate the results of the election with arbitrary counting standards.

I don't agree. Machine counting is open to the same manipulation if not worse.

15) People who think black Americans are too stupid and incompetent to handle getting a voter ID are just as racist as the KKK, although they show it differently.

Yup.

16) If public universities want to hire terrorists and communists to teach their classes, harass Christians, push around Republican groups, and bring in liberal speakers, but not conservatives, then state legislators should cut off their taxpayer funding until they behave.

Liberal bias in Colleges are a huge problem. I can tell you that from personal experience and the experiences of 100s of thousands of others who have been through the Extremely biased colleges.

17) We don't need to get religion out of politics; we need to get more religion in politics. The politicians certainly don't seem to have any qualms about stepping into areas better left to the church; so pastors have to be willing to encourage their flocks to vote their values to protect themselves from a rapacious government.

I disagree. Separation and church and state is a must.

18) The whole purpose of our immigration system should be to benefit the Americans who are already here. Therefore, we should favor the best and brightest emigrants from Western cultures. Other immigrants to this country who get in because of family ties should have someone who's willing to vouch for them and take care of them if they have hard times. No naturalized American citizens should ever be eligible for food stamps, welfare, school lunches, or any other hand-outs from their fellow citizens.

I disagree. it should be the best and brightest from all countries not just Western Cultures.

19) You can no more change your sex than you can change from a human being into a Water Buffalo. Believing otherwise is a mental disorder that should be handled by a psychologist, not catered to with surgery. A doctor wouldn't cut off a healthy person's leg if he asked or cut out part of someone's brain because a voice in his head wanted it and sex change operations shouldn't be done either.

There's no way a felon should ever have the right to vote, own a gun, or teach children among other activities.

I agree, and the "cruel and usual" punishment clause from the constitution needs to be amended

Another misguided hypocrite.

The only thing on here that's even remotely plausible is the Tort reform suggestion. Most Western states put the onus of legal fees on the losing side, and it's a good way to discourage frivolous lawsuits. However, there needs to be some leeway when dealing with corporations, who have a huge amount of capital at their disposal and could dissuade lawsuits through the sheer size of a legal bill.

Odds this man says or yells the words "******", "spic" or "chink" in private?

On one of his points: He said people should be "ashamed" to take welfare. Well, that's the case in the Scandinavian countries and Germany. Their populace sees the social safety net as a necessity and a right, but stats show that those who go on it (outside of the immigrant populations) quickly leave it as soon as they can. It's a culture thing. That's not the case in America.

9) Ninety nine times out of a hundred when someone cries racism, it's either a lame excuse or a political tactic.

And these idiots wonder why minorities, especially blacks, don't vote for Republicans.

 

[Fillerguy]

How are you using the bible as reference for homosexuality then turn around and say evolution doesnt conflict with Christianity.
