Limited Government, Low Taxes, No Pre-emptive War

U.S. spending is out of control. We have a never ending war raging in the middle east that is not making us safer and we are indebted to China to pay for it. Plus, we are losing our civil liberties here at home. The Democrats will add to our enormous debt by creating more big government social programs that are inferior to free market solutions. What we need is less government, a sane foreign policy and sound money. When these things start to happen we will begin to see our wealth and prosperity restored and that will open the door to less taxes.

We also have a moral obligation to not engage in pre-emptive wars against countries that have not attacked us. This is un-American and most stop. We can not spread Democracy through the barrel of a gun.

Big government always messes things up. There is no way a bureaucrat in Washington can decide what is best for the entire country. That is why the market should decide what the people need and not the government and the lobbyists. If the private sector run things and the government acts as an arbitrator rather than a dictator, things run much more efficiently.

George Washington stated that if America fails it will be because of political parties. One's party shouldn't matter as much as if they are abiding by the law of the land which is our constitution. We need to get back to our constitution before America falls down the slippery slope into fascism. Our Republic is severely threatened by large government agencies such as the U.N., the NWO, and the NAU. Only by returning to our constitution are we able to find our way back to freedom and prosperity. Border security should be a top issue as it should be with any sovereign nation. If people are breaking the law by entering our country illegally they should not be rewarded for it. With our deficit growing like it is, we can not afford the illegal influx of people burdening our system.
