Right, Left or Wrong

I hear much of the bantering back and forth about Republican vs. Democrat, right vs. left, liberal vs. conservative and never hear many people from what I would call the middle. Here's where I stand on a few of the biggies;

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY - I believe the lack of personal responsibility is more damaging to the United States than any other one thing.

GUN CONTROL - I believe in the constitutional right to bear arms, but I don't believe every person out there should be carrying the most advanced automatic weapons.

ABORTION - I would never want my family or friends to have an abortion, but I don't think it is my place to decide that for another person. I just don't want my tax dollars paying for it. I am absolutely disgusted with the "right-to-lifers" who stand on the public street with a 3'x4' poster of a dead fetus. Which leads us to...

FREE SPEECH - I'm all for it, but it doesn't mean anyone has to listen. Therefore, if you are an idiot don't be surprised if no one listens and don't try to legislate the requirement for others to do so.

GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE - There are arguments on both sides of this from qualified scientists. Many years ago there were reports of a global cooling. The hysteria created by the politicians and news media is self-serving.

HEALTH CARE REFORM - There is no constitutional foundation for the government to get into this. 60 Minutes recently did a story on the BILLIONS of dollars in Medicare fraud. If our government can't get a hold on that, how will they manage a bigger program?
