Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

There should be a strict constitutional spending limit for state and local governments that would tie the rate of spending to the rate of population growth plus the rate of inflation.

Strongly Agree

Marijuana should be legalized and regulated like tobacco and alcohol.

Strongly Disagree

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

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.

Strongly Disagree

Free-market competition for education dollars, rather than a government monopoly, would create a better education for all students.

The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree

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

That man suffers from inherent weakness and depravity. America’s Founders knew that people are basically weak, sinful and corruptible, and will pit one men against another other, making it difficult to pass laws and make changes that are fair to everyone, because the majority often rules by self-interest and with passion and feeling, and are moved by the sentiments of the time.

Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.

God, Constitution, Voters.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. Life is the first unalienable right that should be protected from conception to natural death. Marriage is between on man and one woman.

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.

I don't know what part of my track record is publicly available; however, my public statements include my firm commitment to protect the unborn, to a small, limited, and efficient government, support for a strong military, and my commitment to enforcing our borders to maintain U.S. sovereignty.
