Warning!

After meeting and reading all the candidates' advertisements, I have deep reservations about the use of the word "progress". Did you not know it is code word for "communism, socialism, and central planning"? Are the candidates aware of their implied association with communism when using such language?

Informed voters need to ask more direct questions to know the philosophy and principles that guide decision making of candidates. I fear most candidates don't have a clue how they will respond, besides taking a poll. That, my friend, is democracy, mob rule, and not what this country is founded on. We are a Republic, where law rules, not public opinion. At the Federal level, the constitution restricts power. The states have the rest of the power not enumerated in the constitution, article 1, section 8. Locally, we have authority given from the state.

Due to our neglect and political correctness, the past 100 years have "progressed" us into an unconstitutional democracy with flexible laws applying to certain groups (immigration, tax law, etc.) and regulations directing and controlling industry, not capitalism supply and demand.

The role of government is to protect your God given rights (liberties) and property. Enough control to prevent anarchy. We have "progressed" to soft tyranny and central planning of communists. Now with blinding speed we have "progressed" toward "transformation" of socialist America via irresponsible spending, socialized medicine, government controlled industries, and crushing trans-generational debt.

Elections have consequences. Did you not know that would be the direction? Did they lie to you? Or did you not understand their language? Know your candidates.

I affirm the Constitution and Bill of Rights is an unchanging law of the land. The preamble is not law.
I affirm the states' rights as prescribed in the 10th amendment (see above).
Right to bear arms is an individual right (see above) and licensing or registering firearms is the first step to taking them away (as done with Hitler's Germany).
I am against abortion.
Marriage is between one man and one woman, but the states have authority in giving marriage licenses or not honoring another state's marriage license. I want Kentucky to make state law declaring it defines marriage between one man and one woman and will not recognize homosexual marriages.
Counties can make more restrictive laws than states (like alcohol sales).
Laws should not infringe on a persons' property or natural (God given) rights.
Public money is for public uses (police, fire, roads, safety), not non profit organizations, or giving loans or bonds to private business.
Redistribution of wealth is stealing.
I will not vote for any immorality or anything against God, even if church leaders (they are capable of sin and mistakes) or the majority of people want it. For example, gambling is not Godly or best for the public virtue.
You cannot spend your way out of debt.
Balancing the budget is not always fiscally conservative (spend more, tax more is not wise).
Government's should be more conservative with public money than their own money.
I affirm capitalism and individualism are the proven path to prosperity, not socialism or collectivism, or giving up your individual rights for the common good.
Global warming is a provable hoax and not grounded in science, but politics and control.
Conservation is admirable as God's stewards of His world.
