Strongly Agree

Our country was founded on the principles of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" as God-ordained inalienable rights. Since life begins (scientifically) at conception, this is when those rights must be enforced.

Strongly Agree

Chemical abortion drugs are inhumane and murder an unborn human being made in God's image, and should be banned completely!

This is really asking, "When is murder allowable?" We answer this differently based upon war, or capital offenses, or abortion. I am not unaware of my own inconsistency on these questions. If I am against taking human life, then I should NOT be for capital punishment or sending people to war to fight "for democracy"--yet I have been for them until recently. I wish people could be trusted to govern themselves, but since that's currently unrealistic, I oppose all "legal" forms of death-dealing.

I believe that Life needs to be protected and that federal legislation may be necessary to do so. That said, our government has VASTLY exceeded its authority in trying to legislate almost everything, and I'd like to see most of it repealed (or replaced). But life is a fundamental right of every human being made in the image of God, and if it is necessary for our federal government to step in to protect those rights, then it should be done. But the less centralized power (Federal) and the more decentralized (States) that we can manage, the better I like it. Government must serve the people, not the other way around.

Our monetary system, taxation, and policies need complete overhaul. We need to audit the Fed! Our current system is BASED on debt, NOT wealth, which is an inversion--as are all satanic systems. We need transparency in Federal financial matters.

Strongly Agree

No

These are Big Brother tactics meant to force conformity, and are nothing short of totalitarian strong-arming of our citizens. We MUST NOT allow any of these to prevail!

This whole discussion is based on a letter by the Danbury Baptists to Thomas Jefferson and has been completely re-interpreted by an activist Supreme Court seeking to kick God out of public discourse. The original intent was that GOVERNMENT would not impose a state-sponsored church system, but it has been turned upside-down to try and make it that God must not be included in our civic discourse. The current interpretation is, once again, an inversion. God should be welcome in our public policy.

Strongly Disagree

Government has no Constitutional right to compel or force citizens to violate their moral, ethical, or religious beliefs.

Under NO circumstances!

In traditional Chinese medicine, the doctor gets paid when the patient GETS WELL! Our current system is an inversion--Western medicine is based on sick patients having to pay doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies BEFORE they get well. The system's incentive is to “manage” sick patients, not cure them! Insurance options are also based upon this upside-down system. Answer C is adequate--but we MUST fix the broken and upside-down system itself!

E. None of the above. No one could accuse Gen. Dwight Eisenhower of being anti-military. Yet in his last address to the American people as President, he warned us of the “rise of misplaced power” by the military industrial complex. It is this same gremlin that we currently must tame, otherwise NO lasting peace will be seen on earth again. When incentive favors war, and not peace, we will have war. This is another upside-down system.

Agree

Agree. However, an even greater threat is coming from WITHIN the United States. Whether it’s called the “Deep State” or “Administrative State” or anything else, rogue elements in our own government have captured many, if not most, of the agencies and apparatus. We MUST root out the perpetrators and, as President Donald Trump has said, “Drain the Swamp!"

Israel has been an ally of the U.S. since its modern founding. As the only democratic government in the Middle East, it is imperative that Israel’s enemies, who have sworn total annihilation of the Jewish people, be stopped. That said, the modern government of Israel is not immune to the same corruptions that we have faced here in America, so we must use critical thinking in our friendship and support.

The nonsensical WOKE agenda has infiltrated our military and caused many good men and women to leave early, and many more to refuse joining in the first place. They are literally “shooting themselves in the foot” as the saying goes. Additionally, geopolitical instability has not helped recruitment, as Biden has indicated he wishes to send U.S. troops to Ukraine (and possibly other locations), even raising the question of reinstating the draft.

Strongly Agree

Our Souther Border is completely out of control!

Foreign citizens who are in good standing in their native country and have a valid reason for wishing to come here should be allowed to go through a normal vetting process where their applications are treated fairly and honestly. Currently, our system is almost completely broken. We need comprehensive immigration reform, better scrutiny, and better means of dealing with "gate crashers" who come here illegally.

Strongly Agree

Yes, I strongly support parental rights, including school choice and related family-friendly policies. Education is the responsibility of parents, and any public educational service to support parents in their duty is simply government supporting parents and not parents serving the government.

Strongly Agree

If I am elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, I will push for the elimination of the U.S. Department of Education and the return of education to the individual states. We do NOT need centralized control of our children!

Agree

As a Christian, I agree that marriage (indeed, sexuality itself) derives ENTIRELY from God. However, adding the words "legal union" to this definition wanders into Statutory Law (which is most decidedly NOT derived from God but created by humans--and is completely separate from Common Law/God's Law). When we mix legal definitions, we risk trouble. The primary issue resting within this question is the outright attack on the family unit. Space doesn't permit an adequate response.

Strongly Agree

Most unfortunately, children are the pawns in the war against the family unit and societal stability. This is coming directly from the forces of darkness that have controlled so much of our planet. Yet many people are now waking up to the facts, and the assault, on both children and our family structures. Much more needs to be done to stop WOKE advocates and other perpetrators from assaulting our children in the spirit of their ideology.

Strongly Disagree

Absolutely not!

I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior when I was 12 years old and was baptized by immersion when in High School. God has been absolutely central to my life and my understanding of the universe and all that is in it. The Holy Spirit is a present reality, and I seek God’s wisdom and guidance daily as I live life. I met my wife at a Christian college in California, and we raised our three sons to be outstanding Christian men.

Strongly Disagree

As a Software Engineer/Architect, I understand perfectly that until we have developed unhackable voting systems that are FULLY TRANSPARENT and auditable, we simply MUST require photo IDs and ALL other relevant means to eliminate voter fraud and abuse. This means PAPER BALLOTS for the foreseeable future. Both 2020 and 2022 had systemic fraud, and my opponent validated Biden by voting to confirm him despite the evidence.

Disagree

The Electoral College was established in 1787 by the United States Constitution. Therefore, I feel disinclined to support any changes to our system unless there is VERY clear improvement that does NOT take away from the current advantages of our system.

Strongly Disagree

There is only ONE race—human! Until we recognize EVERYONE as made in the image and likeness of God, we are like chickens running around with our heads cut off. It’s time to STOP this incessant race-baiting and attempts to DIVIDE us as human beings. We have ONE human family, and that’s it! Any discrimination based on skin color is wrong. Period! But we’ve got to get past these manipulations that are dividing us.

Strongly Agree

100% agree!

Strongly Disagree

Man-made “climate change” is a complete hoax and globalist manipulation to justify broad societal changes that would NOT be tolerated otherwise. Our climate may, indeed, shift over time, but this has almost nothing to do with human control or intervention. The hysteria coming from Leftists exists solely to promote broader globalist agendas that seek population reduction, control, and forced compliance with their dictated mandates.

The most reliable (though not yet commercially available) energy source is Zero-point energy. But until the patents currently locked away by “National Security” orders are released, our most reliable sources are: oil, coal, hydroelectric, and nuclear

Very Conservative

I consider myself both strongly conservative and libertarian. I am opposed to government overreach in ALL its forms, and am disposed to want to push as many decisions as possible directly down to the individual and only escalate them when absolutely necessary. We have far too much government control as it is, and people have forgotten that government is here to serve us, NOT the other way around! Our government is We the People!

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” ~ Declaration of Independence

No.

No.

Strongly Disagree

The LAST thing we need is to pack the courts!

Disagree

Police are generally underpaid as it is, so directing funds elsewhere (whether good or bad "elsewhere") isn't wise. We need a whole lot more prevention, that is true, but that actually comes from reforming our upside-down systems (Healthcare, Money, Defense, etc.) rather than applying bandaids. Society is under EXTREME pressure from almost all directions. Until we stop THIS, no amount of triage is going to "solve" such issues. WE NEED COMPREHENSIVE CHANGE to fix our upside-down systems!

All mentally sound citizens of legal age (who have not been convicted of a felony) should have unrestricted access to any firearms of their choosing, and should not be required to register, obtain "permits", or have any other governmental restriction or interference. The federal government is NOT our master!
