Were American. WERE. No real American moves to Mexico. That's like Hitler moving to Israel or Paula Deen moving to Zimbabwe.

Gay Marriage - Don't care as long as they have to stay married as long as the straight folks. Equal punishment under the law and all. I do believe it should be harder for folks to get divorced in the first place.

Abortion - Not my body, not my decision. If I did get a woman preggers I would like right of refusal to raise the kid if she did not want it.

Gun Control - Against, but I do think it is insane that the most insane folks seem to have the most guns. If you really want loads of different guns join a gun club where they are all kept and use them there.

Marijuana - Against, I have seen the gateway drug screw so many people up. if you do make it legal, tax it and limit consumption. I feel the same with other drugs like booze and nicotine. Without all the additives folks who smoke 2 packs would probably only smoke 2 cigs a day. Nothing wrong with that.

Affirmative Action - For, in the sense of equal pay for equal work. However if you are texting of on the phone during work you should be forced to pay back the time.

Death Penalty - For. Not for low level stuff like street dealers but public executions or forced lifetime labor for drug lords. Same thing for mass murderers. Either kill them or forced labor for life but why spend good money on staff and 3 hots and a cot.

Obamacare - Undecided, we need a real healthcare system for the people but left to the Republicans or Democrats it will just be the fat cats who suck the money out of the pockets of the average american.

Gay Marriage - Marriage should not be a government institution, regardless of orientation.

Abortion - Vehemently Against

Gun Control - Ambivalent. Against in theory, but since I don't own a gun, and have no desire to....

Marijuana - For, I suppose, but stoners are idiots. Please quit smoking in the stalls and just make my damn tacos.

Affirmative Action - Against. Discrimination is discrimination.

Death Penalty - Ambivalent. I believe that a human being can commit acts that devalue his life to worthlessness. Kill them. Lock them up forever. Slowly and inhumanely starve them. Doesn't really matter to me.

Obamacare - Not ok with mandated coverage

Abortion - Against after first trimester.

Marijuana - For

Affirmative Action - Against being used in private sector and in schools. Private business should hire whoever for whatever reason they choose. Schools should simply be based on merit..i hate seeing underachieving people get in college due to race only.

Death Penalty - For but only in cases of 3 or more witnesses or admittance of guilt.

Obamacare - Against

Gay Marriage: I see no reason for the government to mandate a contractual agreement between two consenting adults.

Abortion: Morally, I lean towards against because part of me feels that sentience doesn't start at birth and it just rubs me the wrong way. This is something that really comes down to a case by case analysis for me, personally.

Gun Control: Being a little more thorough on background checks wouldn't hurt, but restrictions on arms in this nation doesn't have a correlation with a lower number of crimes committed with guns as far as I can tell. In fact, it's often the opposite.

Marijuana: It's honestly criminal that people can get sent to prison for smoking a grass that makes them happy.

Affirmative Action: An outdated method to achieve equality. It had a purpose and still provides underprivedged people with chances to make something for themselves, but by and large it's trying to force equality by making people unequal. For any good that it does, it does more bad in that it takes systems that should be merit based (to achieve the best results from the system) and promotes a system based on racism.

Death Penalty: Case by case. Morally, I don't have an issue with it if the crime justifies it. I don't believe it's a very effective way to prevent violent crime though.

Obamacare: Not really for it as it is proposed.

The govt doesn't hand out death sentences. A jury of your peers does.

Many times the state won't prosecute unless they think they have a really good chance of getting a guilty verdict

So the government does play a role in it

All you people against gay marriage what is your reasoning? If it is a religious thing you aren't a very good citizen bc you shouldn't be judging laws based on religious beliefs, but rather for the good of the country

And why the hell shouldn't they be able to adopt? I bet two gay guys adopting a kid are way better parents on average than the average person
