Good day, to all of you who have decided to read this blog. Being that this is my Townhall.com debut, I shall tell you all about myself and where I stand. I am almost 26 years old, and have been working behind a bar or in a restaurant for over six of those years. I plan on making a return to college in the future to start an education in journalism or political science.
Politics has been a huge interest of mine since I was about 14 or so, after being fortunate enough to have been in an excellent government class. I have been a registered Republican for nearly eight years now. I believe in small government, fiscal responsibility, tax reform, states rights, property rights and strong defense. One the issues of the day, I can go either way:
1. I was for going into Iraq, on a mission to find WMD, but am very much opposed to the nation building that has gone on since.
2. While I am personally opposed to abortion, flag burning, and gay marriage I do not endorse the idea of what I call "executive and legislative activism" by tampering with the Constitution.
3. I believe the Supreme Court Justices that voted in favor of New London in Kilo vs. New London are guilty of treason.
4. Guantonamo Bay should remain open.
5. While I voted for President Bush twice, I feel he has sold out conservatism to the religious right and big government.
There are many other issues, you will hear my comments on in the future. I welcome all comments and look forward to being part of the great online community that is Townhall.com
