QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
As a libertarian the non aggression principle prohibits aggression against anybody. As per usual the state has been complicit in the murder of over 70 million babies. Seems the best thing we could do to prevent abortion is to remove the state from the issue and localize it as far as possible. And the last thing we need to do is destroy the lives of young scared women who will have to live with the thought of killing their child for the rest of their lives.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
Yes
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means each individual has a right to their beliefs,their life liberty and property as long as they are hurting nobody. And why were separating the state from our private lives we should also separate the state from education and the market.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Disagree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
America’s foreign policy should be that of non-intervention. Our intervention in places like Iran in 1952 under operation Ajax has changed our relationship with the entire Middle East for over 70 years. We are now dealing with blowback. The greatest threat to this nation are the 545 members of our own government and bureaucracy that is never held accountable. We should remove our military from 150 countries around the world. We should open up trade and remove government from private interactions around the world. We are goods and services cross borders tanks in armies do not. We should be advocating for peace thru liberty.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
The first thing I would do is remove the government and the corporatist from the equation. Private markets TV Lasik plastic surgery and craft beer that have been D regulated have seen staggering advancements and cost reduction. There is no constitutional authority for the federal government to interfere in domestic markets.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Unfortunately Social Security and Medicare were lies, a giant Ponzi scheme. There is no money in either. Entire generations were forced or coerced into paying the government to invest in their future, we must end that lie now. America is broke. America is $26 trillion in debt. It’s time people were free to invest in their own future in line with their conscience. America will default on their debt. And the banks will eat that debt that they perpetuated. There isn’t a fair solution. But in the end the right solution is to free people and further generations from the slavery of death in taxes. #Taxationistheft.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
First foremost I’m never going to support a continuing resolution. Furthermore I am never going to support robbing Americans by force or coercion. If it’s not constitutional per article 1 section 8 of the constitution then there is no authority to spend any money.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Do you want me people that should be paying off loans are the people who took out the loans. There are many people that made a responsible financial decision not to go to college. Those responsible people should never have to pay for those people who decided for themselves to take on the debt.
IMMIGRATION
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.
Disagree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Strongly Agree
State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.
Neutral
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Strongly Disagree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration is a constitutional matter of the states. Naturalization, the process of becoming a natural citizen of the United States of America is a matter for the federal government. Per article 1 section 8 clause four.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Gay married couples should be able to defend their cannabis farms with fully automatic weapons. To ensure safety in America we should disarm the government. Their track record is abysmal. The US federal government is run by thieves & murderers and they are the last people that should be armed or have security.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Neutral
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Agree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
I will introduce legislation to in the wars including the drug wars as my priority. I will also introduce legislation to end the fed. I will also introduce legislation to kill as many unconstitutional bureaucracies as I possibly can. And lastly I will introduce legislation to abolish compulsory government indoctrination camps so that our children may receive the best education that exist. I will also introduce criminal justice reform to include ending the drug war, ending qualified immunity, ending mandatory minimums, freeing all the non-violent criminals and ending prison for profit.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Biggest threat to domestic security is the tyrannical government and it’s propaganda machines that work around the clock to divide disrupt and demonize the good people of America that just want be left alone.
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
No Answer
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I believe in maximum freedom. That means you have a right to your life liberty property and your rights that no other person may take from you by force. You can listen to my ideas through hundreds of hours of podcast at radicalpod.com
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
I’ve never even been accused of a crime.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
Democrats and Republicans have run this country since 1865. Since then they have both given us more debt more spending more war and less freedom. Once every few hundred years do we have a Moment to take a giant leap in liberty for all. 2020 is that time and we can do it without firing a shot. We must in the wars. We must in the Fed. We must end the empire. Only then can we usher in an era of peace liberty and free markets for all.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Disagree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Much like Thomas Jefferson I believe in nature’s God and natures law along with all the wonders and possibilities our little human brains can barely imagine. I live by a couple rules; Don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff, and good ideas don’t require force ever.
