Where is a fiscal and social conservative to turn? None of the major parties represent our interests -- at least not in the race for the Presidency.
It seems as though every special interest group in the country is represented except mine.
What is my special interest group? It is the group of folks in this country that believe at least a majority of the following:
1. Marriage means one man and one woman.
2. Abortion is murder.
3. Homosexuals should not be identified for any particular special treatment or recognition.
4. An individual has the right to own and bear firearms unless convicted of a felony crime.
5. American citizens have the right to privacy (that means that our conversations, behavior, etc should be private unless there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing for a judge to issue a warrant) .
6. Capital crimes warrant capital punishment.
7. Discipline should be enforceable within our schools.
8. Our borders should be sovereign. Illegal immigrants should be deported.
9. Government regulation of our lives should be kept to the minimum necessary to ensure the smooth function of society.
10. Citizenship requires responsibility. It affords privilege. It demands loyalty.
11. The right to freedom of speech and expression does not include the right to bombard us with pornography.
12. The United States Flag and its military servicemen and women should be shown respect and treated with special dignity.
13. The Constitution of the United States should be the template for the function of government. It should not be superceded by the whims of judges voting to appease special interest groups.
This is only a partial list. What would you add? Put it in the comments.
