QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
The Supreme Court was correct to send this issue back to the states.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
I remember reading a story years ago, where a young lady had died from taking these medicines. We are required to have consultations with doctors for items I consider quite minor, and this is not minor. Some women are more sensitive to it, and if it saves one woman to have them monitored, they should be.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I am running for federal office. This matter has been sent to the states where I believe it should be decided. I will vote against federal funds for it.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
This matter has been sent to the states where I believe it should be decided. I will vote against federal funds for it.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The federal government is not permitted to "establish" a church. It does not mean you can't say prayers in public spaces, or have the 10 commandments, et cetera. The Supreme Court has applied much of the Bill of Rights to the states through 5th Amendment incorporation doctrine. It essentially amended the Constitution without going through the amendment process. The Court should learn some humility and stop doing this.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
I believe in real freedom, not the fake freedom we operate under now. We have a God-given right to freedom of association and freedom of contract. If you don't like someone, or their beliefs, it's a violation of your inalienable rights to be told you have to serve them. That being said, if this is the way the game is going to be played, then Mark Zuckerberg and every other big tech operator, must be required to make their platforms completely available to everyone, no deplatforming whatsoever
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.
I am between C and D. Geo. Washington gave good advice: no entangling alliances. Our current leadership class detests us. Otherwise, why would Ukraine's borders, Middle Eastern borders, et cetera, be more important than our own? Why do we spend hundreds of billions on Ukraine when for $20 billion, our own southern border could be secured? Also, why do they import so many other parts of the world here, causing us now to see riots in our cities between factions belonging to foreign countries?
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
I believe most Americans do not grasp that other countries' leaders, including China's, are not Christian and have very very different values than Americans. Some of the brutalities in China, sanctioned by the government, are unimaginable in America. China does not work towards the Christian goal of goodness; it works purely to advance its power. This makes it ruthless in ways Americans do not comprehend. This naivete is dangerous for us.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Did not answer
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Healthy young men do not want to hear about trannies. They do not want sensitivity classes. They want to learn to wage successful war. Our military is no longer about that.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
It is acceptable to require it for those in the military deploying overseas, but not any experimental vaccine.. I was in the Army, and I was given many vaccinations, but none of them were experimental. For everyone else, none.
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.
Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are wise in the long run. The more medical insurance we have, the more expensive medical care becomes.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Reduce federal spending to 2019 levels to begin with, because excess spending is the major contributor to inflation. Voter against every budget that spends more than comes in. Deport 25 million illegal aliens to reduce demand on food and housing.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Neutral
When I was at Emory, I was offered grants ("free money") and loans. I said I didn't deserve "free money" and opted to take the loan. To make up the difference, I worked full time at AT&T's training center. After I made my regular payments for Emory's tuition, I'd have $20 left from my paycheck. When I filed my tax return, I "owed" money because of this decision. I was infuriated. Anything for which "free" money is given, a tax deduction against income should be given instead.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
These are schemes so that people who are not billionaires can leverage the assets of hundreds of thousands or millions of people to direct decisions about the conduct of businesses worth hundreds of millions, or billions of dollars, which they themselves do not have the wealth to control or direct. These folks have a much higher opinion of themselves than is merited. It is one of the most outrageous piles of trash imaginable. Their use of proxy votes should be revoked. Humble them.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
A Yale Management School study found in 2018 that there were probably at least 22 million illegal aliens, and perhaps as many as 35 million illegal aliens in the United States. Add to that the millions Biden and Harris have admitted for the current number We should build a fence along the entire 2,000-mile southern border. ALL OF IT. We should hire however many ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) officers we need for interior deportations to deport at least 25 million illegal aliens.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We should have a moratorium on all immigration for no less than 100 years. Immigration from those in Central and South America is particularly problematic because unlike those in earlier waves of immigration, it is very easy for them to travel back and forth to their home countries so they never fully assimilate. Further, those governments wrongly interfere in our internal affairs by encouraging their people to vote for those favoring these foreign countries' interests and brag about it.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Competition is the mother's milk of good products and services. I also oppose the existence of any teacher's unions. If necessary to effectuate these choices, it would be appropriate to remove jurisdiction from the Supreme Court over such programs pursuant to Article III, Section II of the Constitution. The Court has a habit of destroying very sensible legislation and that predisposition should be muscularly restrained.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
It's not permitted in the Constitution so it is another thing that simply should not exist.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
This is a web of problems and we need to examine what has changed in our culture, medicine, etc. that has caused the problems we are seeing. Andrew Pollack's book, "Why Meadow Died," discusses the shocking dismissal of discipline and law enforcement which enables so many potential school shooters to walk onto schools undeterred and kill students.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
We should impeach each time they usurp the people's or the Congress's powers, which is often.
ABOUT YOU
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?
Very Conservative
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Did not answer
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No.
VALUES
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
The Supreme Court justices that supported the decision in Obergefell should have been impeached. That they were not emboldens them to continue making arrogant, tragic and damaging changes to our culture without any basis whatsoever. Again, Congress should remove jurisdiction from SCOTUS to hear cases in this area and a host of others. As we all know, the definition of marriage is interwoven so thoroughly in our culture, this decision fundamentally altered it.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Too many LGBTQ++ were tragic victims of crimes as children. Therefore, they frequently do not have the same boundaries as those of us who were not. Some suffer from dissociative identity disorder and need a great deal of therapy. I have been told EMDR therapy can be helpful, though very intense. It can take decades to work through. Children are entitled to their birthright of normalcy and it is wrong to let fads or courts destroy that. No to LGBTQ++ adoptions; no to medical transitions.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
No taxpayer funds - or any other funds - should be used for such "services." They are mutilations of healthy tissue and contrary to the Hippocratic Oath. Instead, all monies used for all types of therapy or counseling or mental health treatment should be tax-deductible and individuals that contribute for such care for another person should be able to deduct it from his taxes. For those that cannot afford mental health services, government should provide it.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Did not answer
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I support photo identification 100%. We deserve to have honest elections. If you oppose honest elections, then your motives could not stand the light of day.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
The electoral college, by diffusing those doing the counting, helps reduce the likelihood of fraud. Although not fool-proof as we have seen, it is still an aid. There are many other reasons I support the electoral college, but time is short.
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Americans conquered the land itself and other peoples to be here, the place it seems everyone wants to come. I'm very, very proud of our American history and only wish to be worthy of it. Many in media who have moved here from other countries criticize us all the time. If you are going to do that, go home. It does not make you seem better than us; it reveals you are manipulative and have figured out you can leverage Americans' desire to do right into getting more from us. I'm onto you.
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 Agree
They should be offered therapy. Their injury due to being a victim of crime as a child should not be the basis for changing the aspects of our culture that are healthy.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
All students should be required to study botany and chemistry to understand these systems better.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural gas, oil, coal, and nuclear power. I do not support any subsidies for any power source and oppose any low intensity source such as wind, that kills birds and whales in the name of the environment.
