Can you be more specific. It's difficult for me to shoot down your liberal arguments without a more detailed description. ;D
--- End quote ---
hard to specify to much
well, i want the govnt to not ban things that dont harm anyone who isnt trying to be affected by it. basically stuff like legalization of drugs, allowing anyone to say anything in the media (as long as it doesn't specifically incite violence), this includes the right to blasphamy, as well as the right to say the N-word. i believe in allowing marrige between any 2 consenting adults. i believe law-abiding citizens should be allowed to arm themselves with any weapon they can carry on there own. i believe that if administrative detention is necessary, it needs a time limit. basically personal freedom stuff like that
as far as social programs: i believe we need public education, i think that israel especially should invest into public education and make its schools be on par with the world's best private schools, this should encourage aliyah from people who think Israel's actions are immoral, since they would feel an obligation to there kids. i think we need to help people find jobs who otherwise can't find any, i think we should have a public health insurance system like israel has now. i also think that welfare should only be available to old people and people with disabilities. i dont want too much gov't involvement, but some is necessary.

Did you ever learn how to capitalize sentences? Or do they skip over that when they teach kids English? I think it is a sign of good education to punctuate and to use proper English. It seems that many of todays young people claim to be too lazy to hit the Shift key. I don't find it hard at all because they taught us how to type in high-school.
Also judging from your previous posts answers it seems you would support the Obama administrations health-care system. I am very much against it. It is not sustainable to have systems which require the working class to pay for the health costs of the non-working people. I am a working man and pay very high taxes and I don't want to be taxed more in order to pay for people to sit around doing nothing. My tax money is being used to support non-American citizens who are receiving aide from American taxpayers. I once was a Democrat and called myself liberal. Liberalism doesn't work because the more that you give, the more that they take. Everyone must work together. There must be charity and justice, and they must work together.
I am all for charity and I give a good deal to various organizations and even have housed a man who would be homeless if not for my support. But I don't want the government to take my money and spend it on programs which I do not support. The current administration is allowing all kinds of liberal things to be taught at schools today. I am against homosexuality being taught as a normal life option at schools. I am against the giving out of contraceptives to elementary school girls. I am against the indoctrination of the kids with liberal ideas which revise history rather than tell the facts. Political correctness has become an anchor around the neck of the American people. We cannot even say that Islam is the root of the terrorism in the world.

im very much against obamacare, reason being is that it dosnt have anything anyone likes in it. not even a public option is included, but it does have a mandate (which would have not been tax supported, il go into greater detail if you wish). i support having an israel-style health insurance system, a system which even with all the arabs on welfare manages to be one of the best in the world, we actually don't want higher taxes to fund this since taxes retard the economy, having lower taxes will actually bring in more tax revenue since more things are being bought.

it is very good that you do charitable things, thats very commendable. i don't like too much govt intervention either, but i think some things should be rights.
i think schools should be objective, not neutral, objective. by that i mean, just give the kids the valid facts. during sex-ed (which i do support, again, i will go into greater detail) they should say that no scientists found anything bad about homosexuality, but they should say that some religions oppose it. i am for giving out contraceptives in school, since kids are going to have sex anyway, might as well have them protect themselves. i don't think schools should say islam is the root of all terror in the world, but they should point out that 95% of terrorist activity in recent history has been islamic and also inform them about the objectives of islamic groups and let the kids decide weather its the root of all terror (which is how i got to the conclusion that it is).
of course you should be allowed to say islam is the root of all terror in the streets or on the internet, but you should expect criticism.
