Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Strongly Agree
The U.S. military should wait for militant Islamic groups to directly threaten our national security on our shores, rather than eradicate them now wherever they may be worldwide.

More restrictive gun control laws are needed to protect public safety.

The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.

Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self-interest into the most productive economic system there is.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion should be considered under limited circumstances. For instance, a person with health problems should be considered for abortion. Someone that simply doesn't want to have a child after choosing to have unprotected sex shouldn't be allowed to have an abortion. Education is necessary on this topic and it should be left to the states to decide, not the federal government.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Having separated from the British monarchy, they sought a better, de-centralized form of government. Power is derived from the people, not the government. Individual rights are given by God, not the government.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Protestant Christian (Methodist) Values: I live the Army Ranger Creed and Warrior Ethos.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Very Conservative
