A Typical Conservative Voter

I Vote Republican to keep
Foreigners, Minorities, Women,
Socialist, Gays, and Liberals from
ruining my life.

Science often goes against my religious beliefs. I fear intellectuals, especially those in the scientific community. Science scares and confuses me and therefore often angers me. Even though science has improved my life substantially, I fear it. As a staunch Republican I don't trust intellectuals like Obama -- that Ivy League educated constitutional law college professor -- to understand our government. I prefer to go with my gut and prayer and listen to people like Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and Ted Nugent.

The Kenyan Muslim in the White House must be stopped. Why can't we see his real birth certificate -- if he isn't hiding anything. Obama is a failure because he hasn't completely restored America to where it was before the economic disaster caused by 8 years of George W Bush. I'm voting for Mitt Romney so he can restore the Bush economic policies. We need to give more tax breaks to rich people or they won't create any jobs and we can pay for it by cutting government assistance to those who need it the most. To stimulate the US economy, Romney will start a war with Iran so that US defense contractors can hire more people to build weapons.

As far as so-called abortion “rights”, I see no contradiction with me being pro-war, pro-guns, anti-universal health care, pro-death penalty and my being pro-life. I also want to stop gay marriage, because it really scares me and other people’s marriages can have a huge impact on my life. 

I know the War on Drugs has failed, but I don't want my kid using drugs so they have to remain illegal. We just need to put more people put in prison for longer periods of time. I believe in full employment for prison guards! Thirty years ago, fewer than 350,000 people were held in prisons and jails in the United States. Today, the number of inmates in the United States exceeds 2,000,000. More African Americans are under correctional supervision now than at the height of legal slavery in the 1850s, and that's the way I like it because Black people scare me.

I think we should eliminate welfare altogether. I have read those statistics that the overwhelming majority of people use welfare as a bridge between jobs and never go on it again, but I just don’t believe those so-called “facts”. I go by what I see on TV, and I see lazy people and foreigners taking my money. They are not at all like the people that Jesus preached about helping.

I want to cut funding for education and I would rather teach my children at home with a strong biblical curriculum; because I know I would be a better teacher than a so-called “trained professional” with their Marxist and gay rights agenda. I just can’t figure out why the elite think it’s better to educate and help our own citizens get back on their feet when we can be using tax dollars on killing people who might someday threaten us. 

America is #1 in defense spending, but the world is out to get us, and so we need to spend a lot more. We spend 800 billion a year on our military, while China is second with only 80 billion. That's not nearly enough to keep us safe. We should cut funding for education and welfare and spend more on the military. That's the best way to make America the world leader. We don't need brilliant minds and an educated public strong in science and math. We just need prayer and a powerful military.
