I believe:
I am assuming that if you clicked on my political link, you
are curious as to what my political beliefs are, and what I stand for....I will
tell you...
I believe in big government. I don't buy into the John Birch
Society b. s. that conspiracy is abroad. I believe in the democratic way. I
believe in individual rights, the constitution, and the amendments. I believe
that society has the potential to heal the sick, fund poverty, and provide
conditions that support equality. I believe the government should provide for
the common defense; both in and out of this great nation. I believe that
bipartisan action is not a dream bigger then Martin Luther King. I believe
Reagan's foreign policy with FDR's domestic policy will create a political
deity.
I believe that education is the solution to many of
society's problems. Catch a man a fish....etc. I also believe the deteriorating
of the family unit is a major problem with society. I believe that certain
industries compromise their ethics for money. I believe that as corporate
profits rise, a percentage should be provided to the workers, which strengthens
the consumer. I support free trade pacts and feel that our economic success
depends largely on other countries.
I don't agree with monopolies, welfare abusers, greed, or
tax loopholes that only the wealthy can find. I don't believe in oil for blood,
nor for the oil companies themselves. I don't agree with privatizing social
security. Fiscal irresponsibility, politically influenced intelligence,
fighting wars alone, negative foreign policy, abuse of power, economic
instability, hidden agenda, describe the present day administration. I don't
agree with certain political talk show hosts who make a living out of degrading
a country in which too many paid the price for with their blood. I disagree
with euthanasia, and believe all life is worth fighting for. However, I do
agree with the death penalty. I disagree with The Patriot Act, citing civil
liberties and privacy issues which make such an action faulty.
I believe platforms do not make the party. I believe in
marriage between a man a woman, the life of the
unborn, equal rights for every American regardless of race, origin, religion,
or sexual preference. I believe in stem cell research, handgun control, healthcare and welfare reform. I believe that the whole of
worker's unions are generally well founded, and provide a good balance for
shareholders.
I am a Democrat. I am a Liberal. I am also a practicing
Mormon...and no, I don't believe this is a contradiction.
"In short, the liberal seeks to make better the day in which he lives, and he becomes therefore a crusader for the betterment of the human race." ~John A Widsoe.
