1) Any illegal alien caught in this country should be forever barred from legally visiting this country, working here, or becoming an American citizen.

Agreed. We should have a database of DNA and fingerprints on everyone caught entering the US illegally or already here, and they should all be permanently barred from any path to citizenship.

2) If you take welfare or food stamps or if your kids have to get free meals at school, you should be ashamed. Your kids should feel ashamed by your failure, too.

Again, I agree. There are times to accept charity, but it should be taken with a humble heart, and people should be so embarrassed to take charity that they will do anything legal to avoid that situation as soon as it is avoidable.

3) There is no such thing as a conflict between Christianity and science . . .

Science is an explanation of natural events. God is by definition supernatural and outside the scope of science.

4) . . . I’d also like to see the death penalty expanded to cover rape and child molestation as well.

The Supremes blew this one a few years ago when they ruled that a pervert who raped children could not be executed for his crime simply because he didn’t kill anyone. [Kennedy v. Louisiana - in which Kennedy raped his 8 y/o stepdaughter, severely injuring her so that she required surgery, but the little girl lived.]

9) Ninety nine times out of a hundred when someone cries racism, it’s either a lame excuse or a political tactic.

Trayvon Martin, Tawana Brawley, Crystal Mangum, and many others come to mind.

10) If you’re a Christian, then your faith requires you to oppose gay marriage.

I defer to God on this question. Personally, I find homosexual acts gross but not much different from some heterosexual couples where I can’t imagine what either one sees in the other. God provided better guidance than my instincts: homosexual acts are unnatural and are unacceptable to Him.

15) People who think black Americans are too stupid and incompetent to handle getting a voter ID are just as racist as the KKK, although they show it differently.

Liberals are by far the most racist people in America. They believe blacks could not compete on a level playing field. When they call us racist, it’s because we believe blacks are perfectly capable of being the best possible person for a job based on ability and the content of their character, without giving them extra credit for the color of their skin.

19) You can no more change your sex than you can change from a human being into a Water Buffalo. Believing otherwise is a mental disorder that should be handled by a psychologist, not catered to with surgery.

I’ve never understood how a surgeon could agree to mutilate a person’s healthy body in response to mental illness. Doctors should be ashamed of such conduct.

I have an issue with:

2) If you take welfare or food stamps or if your kids have to get free meals at school, you should be ashamed. Your kids should feel ashamed by your failure, too.

There is no reason for a child to feel shame or be shamed by the actions of their parents.

Being broke or bankrupt is not a good reason to feel shame either.

Failure needs to be seen for what it is, a stumble on the path to success. - Giving up is the real failure. Persistence should be rewarded.

Many of our greatest people have risen from a poor environment to become rich.

It should be nothing to be ashamed of, it should be a motivational factor for success.

Welfare should be temporary and fleeting as those who are there are inspired to rise above temporary conditions.

I think it was Bill Cosby who, when talking about his childhood, stated his father said he was busted and not poor. Poor is a long term, systemic problem. Busted is short term.
