Sounds like we've got a college kid trying to use us as an experiment.
Ok n00b you ate trying to claim you're not a lib...how do you feel about current proposals on:
Immigration reform.
Obamacare.
Social Security reform.
Energy independence.
Abortion.
Gay marriage.
Not asking for a college dissertation on them like you've been doing with your previous responses. Just short concise answers on why you are for/against the above issues.
Nice ad hominem attack. Anyway, I'll ignore that and give my positions on the subjects above.
Immigration ReformI'll just talk about the immigration problem in general.Immigration is one of the biggest problems in this country today. Here's how we can fix it.
- Simplify the citizenship acquisition process.
- Offer a path to citizenship for current non-criminal immigrants in the country.
- Establish more infrastructure to deter illegal immigrants from entering the US.
- Allocate more funds to border security.
First off, simplifying the citizenship acquisition process means that potential legal immigrants won't have to wait years to gain entry into the United States. Secondly, offering a path to citizenship for the current immigrants (who are non-criminal) will enable us to tax them. Drawing revenue for which we could eventually pay the next two things on the list off. Thirdly, establishing more infrastructure to deter illegal immigrants (and other undesirable elements such as drug cartels) to deter them such as fences, more border checkpoints, motion sensors, cameras, drones to watch the border, etc. will help in keeping other illegals from getting in. Lastly, allocating more funds to border security (such as Border Patrol) will enable them to expand and be able to defend our border and apprehend immigrants who got past the infrastructure.
I bet you were looking for me to say "Nobody's illegal", but I'm not a hippy or an OccuTard. Sorry to disappoint.
ObamacareI am in favor of healthcare for those who can't afford it, but Obamacare isn't a perfect policy, and it definitely should not be done in a recession. We should focus on paying off our debt first.
Social Security reformNo privatization. Privatizing Social Security makes it fall into the hands of the few, for the purpose of bringing profit to these few people. Social Security is meant to help the populace, not draw profits. So I believe it should stay in public hands.
Energy IndependenceI believe the United States should definitely make efforts to become independent in regards to energy. We don't want to fall to the feet of foreign oil cartels. However I believe we shouldn't pollute our environment trying to get our hands on oil. Fracking isn't exactly the most beneficial to the environment, and the Tar Sands? Forget about it. We should look into green alternatives instead of trying to please a few oil barons here. We should stick with nuclear, solar, and hydroelectric energy.
AbortionBan after the first trimester, there can be exceptions though such as the pregnancy later becomes a danger to the mother's life, or if certain circumstances prevented them from getting an abortion in the first trimester. The circumstances better be something good too, not just "I was lazy and didn't feel like going until now" or "I changed my mind" or some other bullshit.
Gay MarraigeI don't see the point in not letting them get married to be honest. It's just a word. Let them eat cake and toss each others' salads.
On another topic, holy shit this thread got huge.
