My Views
"That government is best which governs least."
Often attributed to
Thomas Jefferson.
Though these exact words do not appear in his writings, this is Jefferson's
sentiment, exactly. These words also appeared in Henry David Thoreau's
Civil Disobedience.
Adhere to the
Constitution! Constitutional Originalism. Limited government!
Never surrender US
sovereignty to the UN!
Capitalism not Socialism.
Individualism over Collectivism.
Government
does not create wealth - Government uses wealth created by the private
sector.
Liberalism, Progressivism, Socialism, Marxism: A Wrong and Ruinous Continuum
Maintain the strongest
military possible.
Peace
Through Strength.
Maximum personal freedom.
Self reliance. Personal Responsibility. Live and let live.
Reduce government
spending!
Cut
bureaucracy!
Reduce
excessive and burdensome regulation.
Reject the
"nanny state!"
Shrink the
welfare state.
Abolish
non-essential departments:
Abolish
the Department of Education.

we spend, the worse it gets.
Get the
federal government out of education.
Return
control of education to the state and local level.
Abolish
the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Section 8
Housing is a disaster.
Many other
departments, agencies, bureaus, and programs should be abolished. For
purposes of discussion,
Ron Paul's list of what should be abolished is below:

Abolish
public-sector unions. Labor unions have outlived their usefulness. Unions
have contributed mightily to the destruction of American manufacturing.
Unions are playing a major role in the ruining of American public education.
Public sector unions, like their private sector counterparts, are part of
the insane push toward Socialism.
Privatize
Social Security.
Lower taxes. Tax code
simplification.
Take tax
code manipulation away from rascally politicians and reduce their power!
Flat Tax
Fair Tax
Allow nothing to infringe
upon the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Recognize so-called
"social justice," "economic justice," and "environmental justice," as
socialist/progressive non-sense. "Social justice," "economic justice," and
"environmental justice" are socialist code words for anti-capitalism and
redistribution of wealth. Schools that preach "social justice," "economic
justice," and "environmental justice" are propaganda organs for the
socialist/progressive movement. Churches that embrace "social justice",
"economic justice," and "environmental justice" are misguided and naive at
best, if not actually in partnership with the foul progressive/socialist
movement.
Energy independence.
Encourage
nuclear power.
Clear the
way for market forces and natural innovation to develop next generation
energy sources. In the meantime, as our economy is based on fossil fuel, we
should drill here and now!
Stop illegal immigration.
Legal
immigration is good. Illegal immigration is bad.
Guard the
border.
No
benefits for illegal aliens.
Stop
employers from hiring illegal aliens.
Amend the
14th Amendment to disallow "anchor babies." Babies born to persons in this
country illegally should not have automatic citizenship.
Require voter ID.
