I am against government regulation of consensual sex among adults, but I am in favor of monogamous marriage.
I have never smoked a joint, but I despise the war on drugs.
I think the government at all levels is systematically violating the Bill of Rights, but I believe local law enforcement is necessary to a free society.
I strive to be consistently pro-life, but I understand that abortion is a thorny legal issue.
I believe that law-abiding people should be free to travel, but I understand that many of my fellow Americans want some form of immigration control.
I believe in freedom of speech, but I question that corporations are people too, or that anonymous PACs, Superpacs, and Corporations donating millions of dollars is good for our republic.
I am opposed to federally-sponsored welfare (for both corporations and individuals), but I believe that it is my moral responsibility to care for my neighbor.
I believe in fighting terrorism and all true enemies of the American people, but I oppose the War on Terror, the military-industrial complex, and needless foreign interventionism.
I like tax cuts and am in favor of eliminating the IRS, but I believe the national debt is a great threat to our freedom.
I’m not a fan of people playing the victim card, but I will admit that being a white male still has some advantages.
I believe in the second amendment, but I do think that we need to stop villifying those who propose some reform in the purchasing process for guns.
I believe in Jesus of Nazareth as my Savior, but I am vehemently opposed to any type of forced religion.
I believe the Bible, but I’ll be the first to admit I don’t understand it as well as I’d like.
I’m not a big fan of man-made laws, but I do believe in the law of love and liberty as described in the NT, and the Theory of Natural Rights.

Finally, you may not agree with all of my positions (In fact, I don’t always agree with them after discussion and thought), but we must stop vilifying and demonizing one another if we are going to solve some of our biggest problems.

Too many of US are afraid to engage or we demonize those with whom we disagree. There is no way forward if we truly believe that those with different ideas are evil.
