Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

No answer

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Mankind has a tendency to accumulate power and as such usurp the power of others.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian. Christianity is a way of life for me and not a doctrine. My values as such come from my faith. I believe in defending my spiritual beliefs rather than allow to be trampled over in order to be politically correct. I do not judge but rather I want to talk to see where I can lay a foundation of faith. Finally, it is important to help others and show compassion, but that should not be an excuse to make everything acceptable.

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.

IMMIGRATION: (1)Secure our borders- also a national security issue (2) Enforce the current laws- Conservatives support legal immigration (3)Compassion cannot be at the expense of due diligence for the security of America HEALTH CARE: Abolish Individual Mandate The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)needs to be transitioned via to a financially prudent system. Merely repealing without proffering a replacement only takes us back to another bad system and that is why many voters are skeptical about rep
