I don't fit into any political mold.

I strongly support:

1. gun rights/self-defense rights for Americans
2. hunting/shooting sports/sensible wildlife conservation/sensible game regulations
3. laws protecting people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation
4. a clean environment, stewardship of our land and waters
5. strong laws protecting tenants from slumlords
6. strong health, hygiene and sanitary codes for employees and businesses in food and beverage industry and heath care professions: I don't want beard hairs or rat droppings in my food
7. strong laws protecting consumers from unsafe products
8. more generous welfare benefits and decent and clean housing for all poor disabled Americans truly unable to work for a living income, senior Americans, all able-bodied low-income Americans truly seeking work in earnest and low-income working Americans who truly need supplemental assistance to make ends meet
9. more generous benefits for veterans including dental care for all veterans
10. medicaid expansion in states where it is now limited
11. much more extensive and serious medical research for those suffering from various undiagnosed/undiagnosable fatigue/weakness/energy-loss chronic disorders as fibromyalgia, myalgic encephalopathy and chronic fatigue syndrome as well as much-improved healthcare for those people
12. a penalty of being confined for as long as the person shall live (death not brought about by a state execution) without the possibility of parole for the worst offenders as murderers
13. strict following of the Constitution for the United States of America all all manner of law which pursues the same


I strongly oppose:

1. the death penalty (there's the inevitable risk of executing an innocent by error)
2. lack of robust immigration and border control measures
3. foreigners who come to America just to take and not give
4. disregard for our nation's infrastructure
5. cruelty to animals
6. people who act like slobs and lack good hygiene, decorum and demeanor in public
7. employees in service industry and healthcare jobs who appear like a homeless bums in the presence of paying customers or patients as well as employers and laws who/which tolerate such dishevelment
6. corruption in law enforcement and government
7. people who litter
8. the appearance in plain view from public streets of rough-looking vehicles, indoor furniture and lack of good home/garden/lawn/weed-control care in residential neighborhoods: I can't stand to look at brown, weedy unmown lawns, broken/leaning/sagging fences, mickey-mouse black coaxial cables sloppily tacked all over houses and well-weathered peeling paint and loose sidings, gutters and moldings
9. hypocrites in religion, government, the military and everywhere else: I hate holier-than-thou sorts of people
10. human ignorance, lack of good education, lack of manners and lack of proper upbringing
11. human apathy
12. society's and government's general total disregard for the trucking industry and the lives of truck drivers, the poor infrastructure trucking operates in and sheer lack of accommodation, living conditions conducive to good health, job safety measures and effective personal security measures for truck drivers; truck drivers are only human and their health, safety, security, spirituality, human feelings and well-being on the job does matter
13. verbal/physical abuse of the elderly, the invalids and the disabled by care-givers and healthcare workers: the physical abuse of healthcare workers toward patients, quacks in the healthcare professions

I have found that where I stand on the political spectrum depends entirely upon with whom is placing meon said spectrum.
To some, I am an extreme conservative.
To others I am an extreme liberal.

Thus I pay no nevermind to the over subjective political labels.

Let me know when you find that island with population one, where you'll find perfect humanity.

Nobody fits in to any political mould. That's why they're moulds.

Whether you fit or not, tribal types here will assign you 1 or 2 boxes to define you.
And then it won't matter what you say you believe.

The Pitifully Flawed, Unreliable Judgment Behind Voting for Trump for "No War"

I'm largely apolitical though I vote and write Congress. I vote for what my conscience feels is for the good and healthful for ALL the American people and for true social justice. I vote for America First. The government should protect lawful American citizens and veterans militarily, socially, culturally and economically. The government should not compromise "US" (us) to render foreign aid, hand-outs to the rest of the world and free rides for illegals here at the expense of the American people.

For what it's worth, here are my stances on ten important issues:

1. Our government is extremely corrupt, and multinational corporations hold too much power.
2. Americans should be legally allowed to own guns. Strict background checks and certain situational bans are okay, but only if implemented in such a way that does not reduce gun ownership to the average citizen.
3. Abortion should be illegal in almost every situation, except in extreme circumstances involving rape or pre-teen pregnancy.
4. We need to desperately need extensive taxation reform, that addresses the issue of automation in the workplace. A VAT tax, for example, would do very well here.
5. Climate change is very real, but many people jump to too many conclusions and are unscientific in their study of it. More funding for the scientific research and environmental protection procedures needs to be made available.
6. Healthcare needs to become a public resource, with a single-payer program similar to Canada.
7. Mental health treatment needs a LOT more funding.
8. Stronger border security needs to become a reality, and we need to clamp down on illegal immigration. However, we should also make the path towards legal citizenship simpler and more cost-effective. We also need to be more open-minded to other cultures in general.
9. Our defense budget needs to be cut back by about 20%.
10. The internet needs to be treated as though it were a piece of public infrastructure. We need to go back to net neutrality, so ISPs can't monopolize and control it.

Why would you illegalize it?

Now I’m thinking of trying to help educate people about political identities. Only, I’m not sure how much good that can do without people first learning better ways to try to satisfy their psychological and some social needs.

I wish you the best of luck in that endeavor ("endeavour" for our Limey friends).
