Shame on La Raza and Mr. Lynch!

I may not be a "Bad American" but I am certainly an odd one...

1) I believe that America is the most successful experiment in classical liberalism and liberty the world has ever known -- I am proud to be an American!(and as such, I believe flag burning should be protected speech)

2) I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior and am in awe of His power and of the Man who is the greatest advocate of individual rights the universe has known (and as such, I believe religion should stay out of our public institutions -- my God is powerful enough to not need sanctioning by the state -- is yours?)

3) I believe in free markets and that the ability of people to freely purchase goods and services and to offer their labor in exchange for pay will, over time, cure most societal ills (and as such, I believe that relaxing visa requirements and finding an orderly way to legalize all those allowed in by lax border enforcement is in America's best interest)

4) I believe the American way of life is worth protecting and that a strong and modern military helps decrease the odds that we'll ever need it -- and that we should spend even more perhaps (and thus, I feel we should pull-back from the majority of our deployments overseas to just a handful of strategic locations -- military spending should go to technology, equipment, recruiting, and training and not the operation of bases where we're not wanted. Oh, and we should not have gone into Iraq)

5) I believe in the beauty and profound wisdom of our founding fathers in protecting our freedoms such as gun ownership, religious affiliation, and the very real right to privacy found in our government documents. Federal judges should make decisions based on the constitutionality of laws - the literal intent of our constitution alone (and as such, I believe Guantanamo detainees, captured during an undeclared war, should have been extended at least cursory constitutional rights once moved from the battlefield to a permanent base and that warrantless wiretapping is a danger to us all)

No wonder I have one hell of a time voting!

I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.
