So my rants, thoughts and beliefs tend to lean right of center. My children are named after two Republican Presidents that I respect, admire and occasionally disagree with.
To let the 4 or 5 readers that will find this know a little bit about me, I thought I'd jot down a few things.
1. I'm no fan of amnesty but I understand that you can't round up 12 million (and counting) illegals and send them back home.
I do believe you can incent these people to become "legal" and find a way to penalize them for coming in illegally.
I do believe that you can deport the rest as they are found.
I do believe that businesses that employ illegals need to be punished.
I do believe the borders need to be secured first. When a pipe breaks under the sink, do you fix it before shutting the water off?
2. You can not overturn Roe v Wade. I understand the basic need to allow for them. Back alley and coat hanger abortions are a thing of the past in this country and we do not need to return to them. Making an abortion illegal will slow the rate down, but it also has the great potential to kill those who feel the need (for any reason) to have an abortion.
3. At the end of the day, if the government has money left over, I want my share back.
4. People fall on hard times and we need to help them. We need to help them get out of the situation at hand and make a better life. We don't need to allow them to use social welfare programs as a way of life. All programs need to have requirements for getting money and a hard end date.
5. The dems lost, get over it.
6. The Dems lost because all they had was hate and venom to spew. If they had offered anything close to a sensible resolution to the the issues they complained about, they probably would have won. Both sides complain about the other side, I get that, it's what you have to say outside of those complaints that gets you votes.
I'll stop now because if I say anything else, you'd have no reason to come back.
