On Budget & Economy: We believe in democratic capitalism, not socialism

We believe in democratic capitalism, not socialism in any form. We know America is richer than any other nation because we figured out how to create more wealth than any previous society and that Americans almost always created that wealth through enterprise and innovation, not because they took anything unfairly from folks who have less. We want to empower more opportunities for all Americans, not make or keep any American downtrodden and dependent on entitlements from the government.

On Civil Rights: Americans should be judged by character, not race/identity

We believe in tolerance and justice for all, not a "spoils" system of rewards and punishments for different groups in society. Our goal remains a society in which all Americans are judged only by the content of their characters and rewarded only for the contributions they make to our national livelihood, not by their race, or any other immutable and irrelevant characteristic of their birth or "identity."

On Energy & Oil: Climate change is real, requires amelioration not regulation

We know climate change is real and that it's a real threat to the next generation's prosperity and security. It thus requires amelioration, but we will not allow this challenge to be a Trojan horse for socialism, nor for the bizarre anti-Americanism of the left which would intentionally choke our economy with regulations and expenses not equally imposed on our main economic and geopolitical competitor, China.

On Principles & Values: We know that America is a shining city on a hill

For our party to win again, we need to reject the craziness of the socialist left and the craziness that has infiltrated our own party as well. Here is how:

We are the conservative party. That means we believe there is far more good about America than bad, far more that morality requires us to protect, to preserve, than that which should be overturned or radically transformed.
We know that America is a shining city on a hill, with both the capacity and responsibility to help ever more of humanity emerge to live lives more like those we Americans are blessed to have.
We know America is a villa in a jungle and that when we don't tend the grounds carefully and consistently, the jungle threatens to overtake us.
We do not want world events to be dominated by the Chinese Communist Party, by Vladimir Putin, by Iranian ayatollahs or by Islamist terrorists. Period.

On Principles & Values: We can take back our country from the extremists

Our country is in a fragile place. Extremist politicians on both sides have used their platforms to divide the country without consequence. Their rhetoric and often their lies have deeply damaged the country, making us question our institutions, our leaders, our friends and our neighbors. It is time that common sense stands up to political extremism on the left and on the right. Together, we can take back our country from the extremists!

On War & Peace: De facto surrender in Afghanistan a stain on US legacy

The de facto surrender of the US in Afghanistan is a stain on our country's legacy, and a complete and utter failure of American leadership by both Presidents Trump and Biden. American leadership means making the tough, common-sense decisions. Ending the "Forever War" has long been a demand by the extremist far-right and far-left political bases. Both President Trump and now President Biden capitulated to the political extremes. This was a political decision that comes at a dire cost.
