QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Neutral
I do not consider abortion wrong. I only oppose it as an institution. In other words, I am for privatizing it, not banning it.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Neutral
Same as above.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Elective? Only through private funding. Make it expensive as f*** and out of pocket, if abortion and abdication of responsibility is that important to you. Let me be clear: Rape, Incest and the Like, are not elective and should be a public service..
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
For all the talk of Pro-Choicers about keeping the government away from women's bodies, they sure do love being taxed for the very sake of getting the federal government involved with their bodies. If Pro-Choice and Pro-Life should be aligned on anything, it should be based on privatization of abortion. Which only is possible due to the overturning of Roe v Wade. Thank you President Trump and his SCOTUS. :)
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means that any institution that poses extreme doctrine, be it Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Secular, LGBTQ+ and so on, should not have ANY VOICE IN GOVERNMENT WHATSOF******EVER. A true blooded Amurican supports a lolbertarian-minarchist utopia.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Disagree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, but in the worst possible way: Mutual abusers. Imagine America as Johnny Depp (a flawed man, but a human nonetheless) and Israel as Amber Heard. I'll let the rest of you carry that analogy as far as you wish.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
The fact that we as a people learned NOTHING from 9/11, learned NOTHING from Obama and homegrown ISIS terrorism and yet STILL ELECTED A FOOKING MUSLIM AS A MAYOR IS INSANE! Islam cannot and should not be allowed in this country. Islam specifically. Anyone who has read the Quran, knows how much hatred and antipathy Islam has for American Freedoms. The Quran treats American Freedom as the ultimate devil's perversion. Fight against Islam ON SIGHT.
HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Disagree
Sorry but no. America is specifically existing to waste everyone else's money. Make America Great Again Bay-Bee! America First! F*** the rest of the world.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Drastically military reduction DOGE (Especially getting an Oregon chapter) I hate to support this but: SSI cuts
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anybody who follows the law, but on a VERY strict set of rules, with a VERY strict wall system with extremely robust systems to prevent hostile agents from entering. Now I'm not saying I'm for or against a white ethnostate. The data just does the work for me. Its out of my hands.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
Hell no. I'm actually fine with sanctuary states being razed to the ground in nuclear hellfire. That being said, systemic deconstruction is also permissible.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The DoE created the worst version of Oregon's education system: No merit based graduates anymore. Kotax and Kate Brownpants made sure of that. Disgraceful Funding is built on attendance numbers. I can think of plenty of wars that could go south. Massive violence in so-called "public" schools. Imo school choice is one of the most vital, yet most underrated and underexplored issues in Oregon. I will destroy the Kotax-Brown legacy and atomize it.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Neutral
Yes and no. At this point, why is Oregon even in charge of education anymore? At least China has good education proficiency.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Disagree
It sounds good on paper, right? Problem is, the duty is of the parents. The problem with governments being involved is pretty simple: What takes government intervention, is made worse by government intervention. But make no mistake: I'm a person who is about practicality and precedent. Kids should not be on the net PERIOD except in school controlled environments with supervision and limited access for knowledge. The internet is dangerous in nature. But so is the government.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Very minimal. The one time the government actually succeeded in protecting people with gun tyranny, is making sure a gun is not in my hands. Congrats gun tyrants. You got one win amongst 340 million losses. What an abysmal score for gun tyrants.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
Full disclosure, because I am the Devil You Know: Yes. When I was 14. Four Class A Felonies, Four Class A Misdemeanors. Ended up being vacated after going through a long, rigorous process that f***** with me mentally to the point of psychological fracture, all to demonstrate that I was no longer a threat. It is that psychological fracture that you can trust in, to make yourself feel safe around me.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No. I plead guilty before both plea offers or official charges were set up. I plead guilty because I knew I f***** up and did some of the worst s*** known to man. I chose, mostly of my own will (with encouragement of my late father and the man who saved my life) to atone. That both saved my life and taught me valuable life lessons. I say no because the question is conviction and a guilty plea is not a convinction.
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Lean Liberal
Maybe the Hasan Piker Left doesn't consider me such, and my MAGA associations certainly don't help my image, but I'm very much a hippy "occupy wallstreet" populist, anti-authoritarian, anti-establishment, Jeffersonian-Franklin, lolbertarian, minarchist, one man hippy army type of liberal. I despise the government in every fiber of its being.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Absolutely. My policy is simple: When you're old, bitter, financially stable and have a stable home and miserable like the rest of us, then you can decide what you do with your body. Once you hit 21-25 (raise age of consent in all forms to 25. Including medical bills and smoking/alcohol/tattoos) well, we're all rotting corpses at that point.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Neutral
You lose me at one man and one woman. Do I think its religious? Ehhh, yeah to an extent? It definitely sources etymology from their. Like, marriage rituals literally depend on what religion you follow.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I hold none. I both have the utmost contempt for "God" but zero enmity for religious people who just wish to be left alone. I have my reasons.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Look, whether you believe Trump on voter cheating or not is irrelevant. All it takes to support the SAVE Act is basic pragmatism. What can go wrong, will go wrong. By that logic, we must take every practical measure to lock this down.
EQUALITY
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Disagree
The way I see things, we have these restrictions for a woman. I've studied anatomy and physiology before (I have a hunger for knowledge, information and control, limme alone) and women and men are practically foreign as creatures. Like, we share very little in common. To have people whose sex is male, is endangering women. I used to not understand why, when I was in my early 20s, why we had separate gender sports. Older me knows now.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
From the people I've talked to, nuclear power all the way. Let's make it efficient, make it clean.
