Okay. Count them.

How many Republicans do you know that want every kid born in South Chicago to be able to go to an Ivy League college and is willing to contribute something personally, or to sacrifice ANYTHING in order to afford those kids the opportunity?

I swear, I do not know one single.

Well...

I would be a repbuplican rather than a Democrat...

And I would do that! I would do that for those in the Smokies, in Alabama, in Harlem, in East LA... you get the point here... but you know, when it comes right down to it... None of the Democrats would never do it either...

I'd rather NOT be a republican, nor a Democrat, Libertarian 'tis not my way either...

Pretty much, I favor less government, less laws, more Law Enforcement, more Health care, more guarantees of freedoms, while still keeping a modicum of restrictions, common sense for the general public, Iron-Fist for the Stupid people commiting crimes regarded as more than trivial(speeding, running a light... but not drunk driving etc... involuntary manslaughter).
And yes there are some intentional grey areas, subject to judicial/peer review...

Protection of property is fair, with deadly force, depends on the situation. Federal Subsidies for farmers to NOT grow crops... would end. Subsidies for MORE lawyers would end... Incentives to have more kids, rather than go to work would end... Stupid Loopholes *EVERYONE* need to be closed tightly. Some laws should be repealed, others just flat out dropped. (ones like "No talking a shark for a walk on main street"). All these "black/secret" programs just become White/non-secre. PACs would cease to be able to contact government representatives. More time spent addressing the issues in congress, rather than philibustering, or stonewalling... just make dam prgress... Bi-Partisan would be a thing of the past... should have a ton of parties.

BLAH!!!!! Sorry, just fed up with the stupid system in place "for my protection". as well as the Multiple "Warz" we are raging (War on Drugs, War on Terrorism, War on Poverty, War on Hunger, War with Israel on Palestine, War on Afghanistan, War on <insert pet war here>)
