Strongly Disagree

I believe abortion should only be allowed in the case of rape (which I see incest as rape), or the mother's life is in danger. God has created us in our mother's womb and life begins at conception. I believe that if a couple do not desire a baby, they should take steps to prevent pregnancy at the outset - abstinence for singles is preferred above all else.

Strongly Disagree

I believe in equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. We live in the greatest nation in the history of man with the greatest economical philosophy - capitalism, aka self-responsibility. We can be as much or as little as we desire dependent upon our personal efforts.

Strongly Agree

I am an accountant by training. Just as individuals, the government should never spend more than it takes in. I believe our government needs to budget based on the previous years tax revenues. A percentage should be used to pay down the debt, the rest for the needs of the nation.

I believe in a flat tax. And, I believe all property taxes should be replaced with a value-added tax. We don't pay tax on water or food, and we should not pay tax to have shelter.

Strongly Agree

I am a pastor by vocation and clearly see that the Church and Christianity, in particular, are under attack. The very faith that made this nation free and gave us success is now being criticized and denounced. Our Founders realized this would be the case. As a result, they instituted the protection of religion under the first amendment.

Strongly Disagree

In a free society, individuals and businesses should be free to provide services or deny them when their personal beliefs are infringed upon. When the Christian baker is asked to make a cake for a gay wedding, and the baker declines, the gay couple have other bakers whom they can go to. No one should be forced to go against their beliefs, especially those beliefs as detailed by God's Word, the Bible.

The State is not to infringe upon the Church, but Christians and pastors should not be disqualified from serving in Government. There should be freedom of religion in our government, schools, and nation, but not a freedom from religion. God will bless the nation who seeks Him. Our Founders were clear in that belief and fact.

No government, school, or employer should ever mandate vaccinations. Every day, we let our freedoms be taken in response to the fear of the moment. This must stop.

I am with C. People have paid in to Medicaid and Medicare for years and it would be wrong to take that investment they made and do away with it. I do believe it would be great, over time, to move away from government care. Self-responsibility and planning ahead is the duty of every citizen. It remains imperative that we care for those who are unable to care for themselves - the sick and those handicapped.

A - I believe we must defend freedom wherever it is threatened. Sadly, freedom is threatened within our nation currently. We must clean up our house and secure our liberties, or we will have no standing to help any other nation.

Strongly Disagree

We must stand with Israel always.

Strongly Agree

China is the greatest threat to our nation inside and outside.

We must deal with the terrorists where they are. We must also close the border to the United States where terrorists are crossing. It is going to be an arduous exercise, but we must track down those who have already come in who mean us harm.

Strongly Agree

We must build the wall. Technology is not sufficient. Technology shows us where people are coming in, but it does not apprehend nor deter them.

Strongly Agree

Sanctuary cities are illegal and should never receive a penny for their transgressions. We must be a nation of lawful citizens and lawful governments.

Those who come to this nation, should come because they want to be Americans. They must come the legal way. They must not come under some dual allegiance. They must learn our language and become acclimated to our way of life. We should screen who comes. The U.S. should not be the dumping ground for other nations to rid themselves of dependent or lawless individuals.

Strongly Disagree

In the beginning, God made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one. There should be no catering to the belief that we can randomly change our gender. For those who say they follow the science but allow people to identify as a gender goes completely against the science and the DNA each body holds.

Strongly Disagree

We fought a war among ourselves to end slavery. We passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to solidify the rights of every human being in this nation. History is being revised for liberal and destructive motivations. We must reject such, including CRT.

I am a Bible-believing Christian and a Bible-preaching pastor. My spiritual beliefs are not based on a denomination nor on societal norms. I hold to one firm foundation - God's Holy Word, the Bible, personified in His Son Jesus Christ, the only way anyone can be saved, go to Heaven, or be right with God.

Strongly Disagree

We require photo id for every other facet of life to prevent fraud and to hold each person accountable. It is irrational to not require photo id for voting.

I believe in photo identification. I believe that mailer-ballots, absentee, and early voting must be strongly watched. I believe there should be random audits each election cycle to ensure all elections are carried out fairly and honestly. To go along with that, if an audit finds fraud, then the election should be overturned.

Strongly Disagree

Those who were slaves had a right to receive some form of reparation, but anyone beyond that, those who are offsprings of slaves should not. Each person is responsible to make the most of the opportunities this nation gives. People gave their lives to set others free. Many lost everything to set others free. Reparations for today can be defined as the peace and opportunity that every person has to move forward.

No. I do not believe racism is prevalent today. I do believe we use our race as an excuse for why we are where we are, instead of taking inventory of where we are, and why we are where we are. We must then make changes, get an education, hold a job, give our best at the job, seek reward on merit, marry, be faithful in marriage, raise our kids, and look to God and ourselves to make a better life. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians, that we are restrained by our affections. It is the mistakes that we make that hold us down primarily today, not race. Domestic security is threatened by those who continually stoke the fires of past sins and carry it over to todays excuses, breeding a new and unwarranted type of hatred.

Strongly Agree

Each nation must use their strength for survival. America is strong in oil and gas. We are weak in rare earth minerals. China holds the monopoly on rare earth minerals. To go from what we have plenty of - oil and gas, and to promote what we lack, only makes us dependent upon our enemies. We must frack, drill, build pipelines, and be self-dependent. China needs oil, gas, and coal. We must use our strengths to compete and win in the world economy.

A - The strict environmental laws and regulations are not necessary and is the government's thumb on the scale of our free economy. Capitalism ensures that the customer makes the decisions and will do business with the firms that are most responsible. Capitalism is its own regulator. Government needs to stay out of it. Our free market, unhindered by government, will be more efficient, more effective, and make better choices for all of us.

Very Conservative

My Facebook page over the years, my sermons in the pulpit of Church at the Cross and on Youtube, endorsements I received for 2020 and interviews all validate the previous question.

No.

I am a pastor, a rancher, a patented inventor, and an award-winning published author. More than that, I am Christian who loves this nation and am willing to fight to preserve it. My legislative priorities are: Education - Ensure that parents have primary say on what their children are taught Reduce Crime - Crime rates are at record highs. We must properly fund the police, hold all accountable, and ensure that our court system is doing its job. Close the Border - Thousands illegally cross our border daily. Many are well-meaning, but some bring crime, Covid, and worse. We must close the border and screen who comes in for our safety. Defend Oil and Gas - Electric and Wind are great, but in the winter, they will not suffice alone. Nothing compares to the power, efficiency, and economy of oil and gas. Balance the Federal Budget - The Government's debt is unsustainable. Our nation grows weaker by the day because of it. We must balance the budget, set the annual budget based on annual tax revenues and nothing above that, and pay down our debt. Build Our National Defense - Russia upgraded 80% of their nuclear weapons. China's naval power has surpassed ours. Both have become overly aggressive and now act in concert. The only way to hold our enemies at bay is to remain strong militarily. Set Term Limits for government officials - The longer a politician serves, the less attentive they are to their constituents. Government officials must serve the people and not themselves. Eliminate Property Taxes - Mankind needs food, water, and shelter. Food and water are not taxed. Shelter should not be either. Each citizen should be able to own a home and pass it on to family.

Agree

I believe the key words are "consistent with departmental policy" and "qualified immunity". This is not to say that police officers are not to be held accountable for their actions, but they must not be afraid to enforce the law and bring order and peace.

Strongly Disagree

The problem on our streets is not mental health for the most part. The problem on our streets is clearly not because there aren't enough community programs. The problem on our streets is because everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes. At the heart of the matter is selfishness and lawlessness. If we do right, we have no fear of law enforcement. If we do wrong, we should fear them. Fear of repercussions is our only leverage. Lose that, there will be no place safe.

I just believe the only gun restrictions necessary are for those who are felons, illegal aliens, and those who have had a history of violent domestic behavior.

Strongly Disagree

The gun is not to blame for the violence nor is the legal dealer or manufacturer. Self-responsibility. The one who kills or commits a crime with a weapon, gun or any other, is the only one who should be liable.
