I don't believe that tax cuts are the cure-all for the world's ills, that abortion is a decision between a woman and her doctor and her personal relationship with God, that abortion is different from the Death Penalty because the Death Penalty IS state initiated (unlike abortion), my marriage has never been threatened by a homosexual (and actually, is more likely to be threatened by a HETEROSEXUAL outsider), and that, if you need an AK-47 and hundreds of guns to shoot a squirrel, your problem isn't with what firearm you're using.
