Introduction

I know I hit the ground running on my first three blogs, because there was a lot going on in the media. Now that we're at the weekend, it tends to be a breathing moment in politics. I'll use this short break to introduce myself and where I stand on things.

I'm a Paleo-Conservative. This means I disagree 100% with the way conservatives ran our government into the ground this past decade. However, this does not by any stretch mean that I agree with the Democrats on much. In essence, I'm a traditional liberal. By this I mean that I believe in social liberties as well as economic liberties. Democrats tend to believe in holding up economic freedoms for the sake of social freedom, while Republicans believe in holding up social freedoms for the sake of economic freedoms.

I'm for having your cake and eating it too.

Not only is it possible to have both social liberties and economic liberties, it needs to be that way. I see it as a mandatory agreement of both. The only way one can truly be free is to share freedoms in enterprise and freedoms in personal life.

This means I'm for gun rights, against censorship, against big government regulation, frivolous taxes, I'm also for a flat tax, as opposed to a fair tax.

On taxation, I take this stand because I believe that it is unfair to tax those who have a higher income more than those who do not. An even tax for everyone would be fantastic.

Of course no tax altogether would be even better.
I oppose the 16th amendment.

I also oppose the 17th amendment. It's the right of the people to appoint officials through special elections, not the right of corrupt governors to play personal politics and choose in favor of a political party, rather than a common good.

I'm opposed to political parties, I believe they exist just to disagree with each other, and for nothing else. In this situation, winning a vote is more important than having morals, which is twisted and wrong.

I am for gay marriage, but not for government regulation. Marriage is a religious institution, if a religion allows it, then it can happen. If not, tough. On that matter, the main issue of marriage in general revolves around the income tax. same sex couples want to receive the same benefits as opposite sex couples when it comes to filing for taxes and all that good stuff. I want to abolish the 16th amendment, so with that in mind, I want to abolish this whole tax incentive thing. That shouldn't be a concern. Outside of that, marriage is all religion from there on.

I am for abortion, but not government regulated or funded abortion. If a doctor chooses to provide that service, they may, but there should be no handouts for anyone in the process. It's a regular form of surgery as far as I'm concerned.

If I think of anything more, I'll be sure to post
