On Abortion: Only candidate of any party that is 100% pro-life

Unlike Hillary Clinton who recently said, "unborn persons have no constitutional rights", I know that all "persons" have the right to life and both the 5th and 14th amendments confirm that position. I also know, as does Mrs. Clinton in the deep recesses of her heart, that those waiting in their mother's womb to be born are in fact persons. There are many things that a Constitutional President could do about abortion but I will give you a couple.

1. Veto and refuse to spend every penny of funding for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
2. Recommend to Congress, and work to convince Congress, to take away the Supreme Court's jurisdiction over such matters.

On Budget & Economy: End the Federal Reserve

On Budget & Economy: Lower taxes, lower regulations, and lower spending

A: I'd institute lower taxes, lower regulations on employment, and reductions in government spending. I'm also calling for an end to the Federal Reserve and a return to currency backed by gold.

On Civil Rights: No same sex marriage; no gender neutral bathrooms

A: Well, I'm a Christian, so I'm opposed to it. I don't think it exists, because it violates God's law. But as president, I don't think it's any of government's business. I want to see the government out of the marriage business altogether.

Q: How do you feel about gender neutral bathrooms?

A: Well, that's an easy one folks. I'm very much opposed to it. I'm opposed to it for reasons of dignity, of privacy, and common sense. A group of people have decided that it's discriminatory for us to have separate bathrooms like we've had for millennia I guess. I'm very much opposed to it. It violates every sense of privacy and decency and I don't think we should give in to it.

On Education: Stop using the education system to corrupt our children

A: Education is a big problem. If I were president, the Federal Government would not be using the education system to corrupt our children. I want education to be local. Every year we spend more money, and every year our kids seem to get dumber. Third World countries are beating us in math and science education, and it just gets worse and worse. We aren't going to be able to change much if we don't change how we educate our children.

On Foreign Policy: Withdraw from the United Nations

Many people, including many in our own government, would love to see American nationhood fade into history. They fear not only the power of America, but also the ideas that still make us the most powerful nation on earth. Those ideas serve as a contradiction to the way the rest of the world operates, and would serve us even more if we were once again an independent nation.

The ideas of America are not compatible with membership in the United Nations. The UN is world headquarters for the church of unbelieving humanism. The fundamental doctrine of the U.N. is that the world should be a global collective, redistributing shares of material prosperity to every human on earth. That is a religious and not a political idea. Faith in God is replaced by faith in Humanity.

On Immigration: No asylum & no path to citizenship

A: I believe that immigration in all its forms should be stopped until we can vet immigrants properly and our borders are under control. We can't be allowing people with terrorist ties, or who are carrying dangerous communicable diseases, to enter our country unchecked. But once we have regained control of our borders and the flow of immigrants, we can admit as many as we choose, in a controlled and lawful manner. I do not favor asylum for those here illegally nor do I favor a path to citizenship. Welfare or entitlement programs, if you choose to call them that, should be strictly for American citizens. I have said that I would not deport wholesale but I would not hesitate individually if the need arose.

On Tax Reform: Apportion federal taxes to states by census, not by income

A: I have proposed a taxing system whereby taxes would be apportioned to the states as the census dictates. If my state of Tennessee had two percent of the nation's population, for example, it would be liable for two percent of the budget. It would be incumbent upon the representatives from Tennessee to help hold down Federal spending. The Federal Government would be encouraged to spend less not more. The states would be empowered and Washington would be dis-empowered. Washington's hold over the states would be broken and the states would be sovereign again--Washington would have to ask the states for money. States would be free to collect their revenue as they see fit. Alaska might tax its natural resources and Florida might tax tourism. In Nevada, it would obviously be gambling. Since people could keep their income the economy would explode with growth.

On War & Peace: I don't see why it's any of our business who runs Syria

A: I don't like war in general, having experienced it firsthand when I served in the military. There's nothing glorious about war. It's hard to fight a war on terrorism if your borders are wide open. We need to secure our borders before we talk about going after the terrorists overseas. I don't see why it's any of our business who runs Syria. If there were no war in Syria, there'd be no Muslim refugees from Syria. Of course, as president I'd have to talk to all 16 directors of the various intelligence agencies to fully understand the threats, and make policy decisions accordingly. But in general, I favor the policy of nonintervention in foreign affairs, just as the Founders did.

On Environment: Property rights under assault by "Sustainable Development"

Local elected representatives are being overshadowed by the establishment of non-elected boards & planning commissions. These non-elected organizations are taking government further away from the people as they are unseen and unapproachable.

Across the nation communities are being pressured by federal agencies to accept grants for local sustainable projects that affect property rights and destroy local control. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

I would withdraw the federal government from such international, sovereignty-destroying legislation. I would stop the federal government from manipulating local communities with handouts, and begin the process of handing control of their lives and property back to the local people.

On Gun Control: People in gun free enclaves cower, unarmed

Disarmed people are defeated people just as a defeated army stacks its arms in front of the victors. Armed people are free people because they have the means of resistance in their hands. The American colonists were threatened with disarmament by the British and they rose to rebellion. Defense of one's self and family is everyone's responsibility. The government cannot and will not do it for you.

The all knowing, all powerful State, which of course is run totally by good people wants a disarmed, defeated people under surveillance every second of every day with every penny earned and every penny spent all recorded.
