I am proud to be a "dissadent" in that I will fight for my rights, and don't think "my" rights should supercede every other persons. I'm not happy in that many of my rights have been taken away because I don't have the big bucks to fight for them, but I still won't fight for or support a candidate that takes those rights away. I follow what I believe, and deal with the rest.
These are my beliefs... I received this in an email and I read and edited some that did not reflect my thoughts... I think these beliefs probably lean way to the right and the Republicans although I disagree with some of the stuff McCain says... I suppose given the choice in Nov..... I will have to vote that way.............
Anyway, do what your heart tells you but use your head and facts to vote rather than emotion only.... and verify the facts....
I believe the money I earn belongs to me and my family, not the government or a branch of it… be it Democratic or Republican.
I believe in paying my fair share of taxes and I believe everyone else should do the same and I believe there should be a full accounting of where it goes and how it is spent and the reasons better be for the good of the people, period.
I sincerely believe there needs to be a major tax reform.
I don’t believe in taking from the rich and giving to the poor. I believe everyone who is healthy and able should have the right to make his life what he can without being held back by anyone including the government.
I don’t believe the government or anyone else, owes you a damn thing.
I believe everyone should take full responsibility for his/her own actions and stop blaming someone else for their misfortunes.
I don’t believe owning a gun makes you a criminal, it is a tool just like a hammer… if you misuse it, it will hurt you and if you do misuse it you should be held fully accountable.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.
My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer. I also value the opinions of certain politicians and even some of my relatives… which I will not name here.
I don't hate the rich nor pity the poor and I don’t believe one has any right to try and change the other.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.
I've never owned a slave, or was a slave. I believe it was one of many terrible misfortunes that occurred not only in this country but throughout the world but the way to fix it is not to allow it to happen again. I feel quite guilty about slavery, but I also feel guilty about the way we treated the native Americans when we moved west. I believe we should try and correct these misfortunes through education and providing access to whatever endeavor people wish to strive for but not
through free or subsidized handouts.
I don’t believe socialized medicine is the way to go in the medical fields, if you disagree, ask a Canadian why he come to this country for his major health care.
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is America.
If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.
I think the police are overworked, underpaid and generally face an almost impossible task on a daily basis and I don’t believe most people give them the credit they deserve and certainly not the respect.
I also think they have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.
I don't mind having my face shown on my driver’s license. I think it's good. And I'm proud that 'In God We Trust' is written on our money.
I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works you should not be deciding who should be running our country for the next four years.
I don’t particularly like those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause but I respect their right to do it as long as they don’t interfere with my life.
I believe the best way to raise a child is with two parents, one of each sex. I also believe that what you do in your bedroom is your own damn business, just don’t try and tell me what you are doing… I could care less.
I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.
I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in America.

Just thought this was something that would go along with what you had said Kathy............... these are my beliefs.
