Instead of saying what you are 'against'...I'd like to know what you are 'for'...?

Question

Its easy to think of all the things we disagree with, but not so easy to think of the things that we would like to see in this country/world.

What are you 'for'?

Answer 1

choice-
the choice to live
the choice to be pregnant/have a baby
make stupid decsions including drugs
use their bodies as they see fit
express themselves (with in reason)
the choices for people to live their lives as they see fit as long as they don't hurt others

I'm for options. I am pro-choice in many ways

Answer 2

Super... no one wants to take the platform for what they are for. It is not politically correct to be for anything because regardless of what you say, it will offend at least one person. That is the world today. The true answers are tough and unpopular, so if people answer them honestly, they are politically done.
Welfare in this country is a joke. Responsibility of actions by individuals is gone. It is easier to blame parent/s, teachers, the government, genetics, whatever. People are taught to want more than they have and what they have is inferior. I just got back from India and the poor/lower class people in this country have no idea how good they have it. The midde class doesn't know how good they have it, and the rich know how good they have it but still want more. The answer is God or faith and morals.

Answer 4

People are the source of the greatness of this nation
This also includes those Americans that mistakenly believe that America isn't all that great
Only when people are granted liberty do they prosper and grow

American becomes greater with the proliferation of liberty at home and abroad

Upholding the Constitution and the ideals of the Declaration of Independence
All men are created equal and that they have certain unalienable rights granted from God
That Governments are instituted solely to uphold these principles

Understanding the Constitution and the Declaration of Independece in context
Maintaining Federal Government within it's Constitutional restrictions
The role is to protect American citizens from foreign and domestic threats to liberty

It is NOT to provide Social Security, Medicare, and other social programs
All powers NOT assigned the federal government are the responsibility of the states and the people that make up this union

Judges should interpret law and base decisions on historical context
They should not make new law based on their own whims
They should not make new law based on false contexts presented by lawyers before them
The President should not make law by Executive Order
USC Article. I. Section. 1. "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."
The Government serves the people
The Govenrment and members of it must be held to the same standards and laws that the people they serve are
No double standards

The right to practice one's religion freely SHALL NOT be infringed
Congress shall NOT establish a national religion and force people to worship in a certain way "or else"

Congress shall make NO law that makes a religious establishment beholden to the state
The right to PEACEABLY assemble upon public property shall not be infringed

The right to cause a disturbance, even in a non-violent fashion, is NOT included in this
The right of citizens to petition for redress before government shall NOT be prohibited
The right to keep and bear arms for each citizen SHALL NOT be infringed, even at the state level
Guns do not cause crime or harm, evil people using guns do
The people of the United States have a right to privte property
The United States government does not have the right to place the land (i.e. the means of production) off limits to the people
Evil must be confronted where ever it exists because evil is incompatable with liberty
Socialism, Communism, Fascism, Nazism and other left-wing ideologies are not compatable with liberty and are by corelation evil

Truth is more important than personal politics
America is NOT the policeman of the world but we should never turn our backs on peace loving and "democratic" people under attack by evil
We are NOT the bank for the world and it is NOT our role to write checks to help foreign countries that oppress their people and refuse to generate their own wealth to solve their problems.

Abortion is murder
Roe v. Wade is an unconstitutional court decision, NOT a law
Roe v. Wade violates the unalienable right to life

Criminals must be punished as the law dictates
You must be willing to extend the hand of frendship to all
Those that refuse the hand of freindship are enemies of the United States and shall not be dealt with as freinds but as enemies
When we extend this hand and it is accepted by some and rejected by others we reserve the right to make war and peace as our principles dictate

The Government in order to fullfil it's assigned duties must collect taxes

Answer 5

I am for using our power as responsibly as is humanly possible -- it seems to me that a country as powerful as the USA has, along with that power, the responsibility to use it wisely and to set a good example for the rest of the world. I am for working with the rest of the world to build concensus about what will be best for everyone's shared future, whenever possible, but leaving the final decisions about that to each individual country, since not all cultures develop at the same rate or value the same things. I am for encouraging industry, but also taking care of those who are simply incapable (through age or disability) of being industrious. I am for education. I am for respecting every adult's right to make his or her own decisions, as long as those decisions do not hurt another person (not as in "demoralize" them, but actually "pick their pocket or break their arm"). I am for an open dialogue whenever possible, since violence can never be taken back and thus should be used sparingly.

Answer 6

I am for a strong military and intelligence agencies.

I think we need to help our poor, but *not* with handouts. People don't appreciate anything if it's handed to them.

I believe in free education, but I *don't* believe that schools should be used to indoctrinate children to *either* side of the political spectrum.

I believe that we need to quit wasting money on corporate welfare and use those funds to take care of our people.

I also believe that all this bickering is *exactly* what the politicians want - we're so busy fighting with each other, we're not paying enough attention to THEM.

Oh, and I believe our media should be unbaised. Won't be holding my breath for that one!

Good question!!

Answer 7

I am for any and all alternative energy solutions to replace the US addiction to oil that not only harms the environment/Global warming but also finances Muslim terrorists, dictators and autocratic Govts. around the world. Oil is the root cause of the 2 biggest problems in the world today: Terrorism/radical Islam & Global Warming.
