God,Constitution,Voters,Congress,Supreme Court,Media,Industry,Academia. Are you serious about Professional Sports? If so you should probably rethink that.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Health of the mother.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Christian. I believe that God put us on this earth to be happy and to create a heaven on earth. We are not here to suffer.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Very Conservative

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

My videos and writings on web sites,blogs, interviews etc. I believe in a more traditional conservatism. Burke,Peel, Disraeli and to Coolidge, Eisenhower and Reagan. Modern conservatism is too often confused with status quo and stability. The core of conservatism should be logic and reason. If something should be changed it should be returned to the previous working state. It should not be replaced with a Republican view of big government. This pseudo conservatism is on display when "conservative" commentators point out that Republicans have no replacement for common core, or Obamacare. Why would we replace on disaster with another? Just because a solution is smaller does not make it a conservative solution. Doing something "differently" than the left does not guarantee a logical and reasonable solution. Those of us with a conservative bent would like to be offered a seat at the table for rational discourse on issues like immigration and tariffs.

Additional comment from candidate:

The political establishment is always the last to know that the political landscape has changed. In bother major parties you are witnessing the final spasms of the post WWII political system begin to crumble. This is good for the nation and conservatives must engage to rebuild a more decentralized party.
