I'm an environmentalist, but relaxing smog inspections laws with automobiles is something I'm okay with. Better to keep old cars circulating for as long as possible than encourage more toxic processes like the one used to make new Priuses. I also oppose the carbon tax.
I'm pro-gun control, but banning "assault weapons" makes no sense...just tax the ammo, demand background checks, and no gun-show loopholes.
I have pacifistic and isolationist leans, but I have no qualms with allowing the death penalty for neo-Nazis, serial killers with an escape record, remorseless shooters like Dylan Roof, or Quislings, also no qualms with going to war in cases like Pearl Harbor or 9/11 where we are directly attacked or stopping unambiguous genocides.
I am skeptical of regressive gimmick taxes such as the soda tax or the carbon tax until proven otherwise (Actually voted against the original one...but I was proven wrong), despite being pretty much pro taxes everywhere else across the board, even if it's on the middle class.
I take pro-life leanings on abortion, but I support it in cases of incest, rape, or safety of the mother, and I support Planned Parenthood, the absolute best way to protect life is to plan for it
I'm sympathetic to men's rights arguments and the general complaints about PC culture, though I do prefer more consistency then the usual proponents.
I do not buy into Religious Liberty laws as they are currently presented.
