    The TEA Party should be embraced by all who love the United States of America.

    My Politically Philosophy is easy:

    Open the Holy Bible, read it and do exactly what it says.

    You can call me conservative church-going bible-believing born-again Christian who like the Tea Party.

    govt should have no role in the market at all, There should be no welfare, private, corporate or foreign aid, we should have no troops overseas (other than in our nuke missile subs and any bases needed to maintain same). no SS, no Medicare, no taxes, much less differential taxes on income. there is no basis at all, in reason, to tax any man more than another, nor in fact, to use force to do anything to the innocent (which is what taxation is/does). Indeed it's what government itself is/does.

    I DO believe in a creator God. I do NOT accept that the Bible gives an accurate evidence of what God desires of us. The Bible states quite clearly to my mind that those PEOPLE who have corrupted the attitudes of God in their personal desire to have dominance over others are evil and have consistently caused harm to the majority!

    It is the responsibility of all of us to do good to all others we meet. This quite obviously is NOT the norm in our social and community circumstances. We strive against those with minimal negative attitudes towards society while allowing without ANY complaint, the powerful and rich to impose laws and attitudes that are appallingly evil and destructive towards global harmony and sensible, sustainable environmental protection that will benefit the future of all!

    I will ONLY worship a Good God. We should all do so. And we should all oppose accepting the evil that is consistently asked of us by our political leaders and the SCUM dominating our capitalist societys!

    I believe in morals tests on a for-profit basis since we know drug tests are useless for that.

    90 % of so-called 'politicians' are corrupted liars, therefore I prefer to believe only God.

    There is only one God which is described in the Holy Bible.
    It is not your business to judge about your creator.
    If you refuse to worship your God you will go to Hell, if not than you can be blessed and probably have an everlasting life.
    That's easy.

    Indeed I support the Second Amendment, but I have not a gun because as Christ I am against violence and murder.

    If that were the case, every state and city would collapse in the stagnation and partisan wasteland of inaction.

    This interpretation would have left open the possibility for our people to be stripped of their guns, which of course was a tool for survival then, and even in some places today. The gun was an essential tool, still is for many people who don't buy their meat, but harvest deer and such. That the founders would even consider taking away such tools is ludicrous. You may as well have tried to take away hats and coats. They knew the power of the gun, in keeping a free republic. They didn't trust one man rule, or the people like the tories that would side with a one man rule, or the destruction of this republic by man. That is why the People have been able to own guns since the founding of this nation, and it was put down as a right.

    States are sovereign within our republic; it is in writing in our federal Constitution.

    - - - Updated - - -

    And, you would be resorting to an unsound line of reasoning which could lead to a fallacy of false cause or composition. Well regulated Militias of the People have literal recourse to our Second Amendment. It is only gun lovers of the People who are infringed by State and federal laws regarding gun control, that are specifically enacted for Persons considered unconnected with militia service, well regulated.

    So....It was actually commentary on executive power. Then I disagree based on the realities of congressional gridlock in todays congress. If only the Congress was able to act....the country would be paralyzed.

    We are discussing two different things.

    Only our federal Congress is delegated the social Power to write words on formerly blank pieces of paper and have them enacted as laws in our Republic.

    Don't forget the fact that guns can prevent violence and murder. They do millions of times a year.

    Me, I'm a libertarian. I believe in small and unobtrusive government, very low taxes, free market capitalism, and the Constitutional rule of law.

    I don't believe in governmental enforcement of morality. I believe that people should be left up to their own beliefs and live their lives how they want. America is a nation for people of all different creeds, codes, and morals. I'm a very devout Christian, but I don't think that my beliefs should decide how other people get to live their lives.

    I support drug legalization. Alcohol prohibition was tried and failed miserably. Criminalizing drugs had led to the creation of more potent drugs; for example, crack was created because cocaine became too expensive. Same with more potent marijuana being created. In addition, this has led to crime lords gaining power, a la Al Capone during Prohibition. Plus, thousands of "criminals" have been separated from their jobs, friends, and families and shipped away to now overcrowded prisons because of something they did that I don't necessarily approve of. And finally, the drug war has cost the taxpayers of this country millions of wasted dollars.

    I'm against American interventionism, gun control, and welfare, and support open immigration, the Second Amendment, government removal from marriage, and the individual.

    I eschew ideological predilections that take precedent over pragmatism, and recognize that the individualist/communitarian tension is an inherent aspect of all societies.

    This is an thoughtful, pertinent commentary upon it by John Terrell:

    CHRISTIAN FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND A STRICT CONSTITUTIONALIST.

    That speaks for itself.

    HONOR YOUR OATH, TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. WE HAVE TOO MANY OATH BREAKERS AND TRAITORS IN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND MILITARY.

    Some take themselves much more seriously than is remotely justified.

    "O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us. To see oursels as ithers see us!"

    Lighten up!

    Cartoon versions of "the other" abound around here - and if anyone needs to spoof my pragmatic philosophy, have a go at it, by all means!

    No one's immune.

    "It is the entity the invests in the things that private industry either can't . . "

    Do you know where they get the money they "invest"? Are you talking about investments like the war on poverty where trillions haven spent to eradicate it yet nearly the same percentage of people today are in poverty as before it started?

    "by making sure that the largest number of people can enjoy a comfortable and secure life from the fruits of their labor"

    Are you talking about the concept of living wage? If so, explain to me how someone that has a very low skill set should be paid more than that skill set is worth simply because they breath.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Do you think that tax money should be used to fund abortions in cases where the one making the choice to have one can't afford it?
