Cobra attack helicopters for EVERYONE!


Hmm... but most Americans still wouldn't have the cash to purchase their own private tank, though collectively we provide them to the government. Instead, let's not let the government have these weapons in use either- does America really have to fear a foreign invasion at this point in its history?

Perhaps. Since the current US military strength deters such an attempt, we can't know whether one might occur otherwise.

But just in the last 2 years Canada has faced three threats to its territory. Both Denmark and Russia have made claims on Canada's northern archipelago, while the US has claimed that the archipelago is international territory (like Antartica).

And in response to your first point, individual citizens may not be able to afford large weapons, but private militias might.

I am conservative on gun rights (2nd ammendment), in fact I think they should reinstate mandatory duty in the private -- reactionary-- (as opposed to proactionary) citizen militias to keep our officials in check....and on illegal immigration (but I'm not some 3 tooth redneck who just blindly attacks hispanics, because the issue has nothing to do with race). I am liberal on gay rights, seperation of church and state, not sure where I stand on abortion but I am against abortion cleansing (ie wiping out autism, seeing as many of us are happy being autistic and theyr just not listening to us). I'm all over the board, financially or economically (as for handling money) I can jump from being conservative one moment to being liberal the next, or vice versa. It depends on the situation. I'd say a better way to put it is I believe in strategy when it comes to dealing with money, it's almost like running a business in some respects.
I am against large corporations, and I am against large governments. I'm for freedom of speech within logical grounds of respecting everyone's equality and not treating civil rights activism like a team sport like our current society does (in other words, no demographic's rights are "up for grabs"). And when something is concretely proven fact, it must be accepted by the community at large, for the progress of society.... I am for a multi-party system, with checks and balances in place to keep them in line. If I had to pick a platform, (assuming technocracy isn't possible because of general human nature and stupidity), I'd have to say my leanings are with stuff like socialist democracy or meritocracy.
