re: How do you describe yourself politically?

The exact word to describe me would be called "Technoliberalism"
I'm basically a center-libertarian. I want a smaller than average government that focuses on liberty, individuality, responsibility, decentralization, and self-awareness.
I do want minor economic controls where the environment, access to technology, and education are concerned. All Americans deserve opportunity to grow - but if you frick it up, then it's on you.
I think the Constitution has its flaws, but it's an excellent starting point when developing policy.

I fall in line with our Forfathers. We live in a very controlled society.

Libertarian leaning, but honestly, all over the place. My views don’t really align with either side or party and often leave me at odds with both.

Democratic Republican
The original party formed to fight the Federalist who wanted a few rich men to own the country. Sadly Henry Clay who started out as a Democratic Republican from good stock changed his tune when his mother's 2nd marriage was to a landed lord and his transformation was complete when he married money as well.
He and other Democratic Republicans who obtained vast wealth changed their tune and split the Democratic Republican Party to join the Federalists and form the Whigs.

As to policy ...
I believe in Scottish bankers when it comes to monetary policy
+ Limited Debt
+ Strong Trade
+ Hard assets in Agriculture, Manufacturing, and Technology
(not exporting factories or crops to Asia because Wall Street wants it)
I believe in capitalism but with a human element
+ Greed is not good for a society to sustain itself long term
+ Local and regional ownership over absentee landlords (foreign and domestic)
+ Public trusts (1/3 business, 1/3 government, 1/3 citizens) for essential services
(water / electricity / gas / etc of utilities for people to live)
+ Bring back the WPA for employing and training American Citizens
I believe in separation of Church & State. If a church owns a church, it is tax exempt but if they own a McDonald's they pay taxes. If they preach the good book from the pulpit they are tax exempt. If they preach politics, they pay taxes. If the minister lives a moderate and humble life doing the Lord's work they are tax exempt. If they live in a 20 million dollar house and do not offer shelter to natural disaster survivors they pay taxes (and possibly serve some jail time).
I believe in education and development of independent thought. We need scientists (college) and we needs plumbers (trade schools) and all work is important, no job is "beneath" someone. That is why Europe was in shambles from a monarchy where you had a small population with immense work and no work ethic.
I believe when you graduate high school you must spend 2 years in public service before citizenship is granted and you get the right to vote.
2 year in military service
OR
2 years in Peace Corps like service
OR
2 years in Americorps like service
OR
2 years in government service

I'm a right wing racist..:
All men are created equal
God has given us the right of freedom
The 2nd ammenment supports the 1st amendment
Marxist are filth - the left
Globalist do NOT have my interests at heart
Support the thin blue line
You should have ID to vote and be a land owner
Stand for the REAL national anthem
Trump is one of the few politicians fighting for the above MAGA
Just a short list.

So you're a lefty, you like to control speech, you don't belive in the 1st amendment.

So you are a sheep following a hack who makes 20M a year to create media hits to line their own pocket. I bet you like Skip Bayless too and probably watch the Kardashians with fervor.

I will defend free speech but when it crosses the line of separation of church and state (a primary anchor of US Democracy, along with shunning monarchy's) it is no longer protected under the principles of the founding fathers. Did you not study history in school?

Go collect some taxes from al sharpton and then come back and make your argument.

Witty response from a school dullard like yourself, when you can not make a coherent point and must resort to deflection and straw man attacks. You are part of the problem of the failure to educate Americans so they will continue to dominate the globe. You are just speeding us to our subjugation to Asian and European communists and their global agenda by dumbing the USA down so they can take control without a war.

And you trust the government to be a fair and impartial arbiter of who crosses that line and who doesn’t? I guess you slept through the Obama presidency?

So if My argument fails, claim I'm being attacked and the opposition is a dullard? Typical Marxist theology. Look at that wall of dribble you typed, there is no freedom there. Everything you typed is a way to control people and order them what to do. Sorry son, that's NOT the principles this country was founded on.
You should retake history and read ALOT of what the founding fathers wrote.

No, stating that if all you can do in name call and deflect, your are a dullard

WTF?
I have been called many things in life, but marxist is a new one

No, educating people is a way to NOT control them but to get them to think for themselves

Having family in every war (French and Indian to Middle East) in US history I am very well aware of the principles this country was founded on
Also, I am probably old enough to be you great grandfather as I am probably one of the oldest posters on this site.

You should study English and understand the use of a lot (it is two words, not one)
As to retaking history, my founding fathers are not only in public institutions but in the family library as well.
