Party: Independent. If you wanna get specific, conservative Libertarian.
Abortion: A personal choice, and I don't really care what the fundamentalists think.
Alternative Fuels: More research needs to be done unfortunately. Mass transit I'm afraid is really the only option. Or something with absolutely 0 emissions. Even hydrogen powered cars emit water vapor, and if you had millions or billions of these water vapor creating machines running around the surface of the Earth there would be just as much smog, but it would be even more dense and harmful to the climate. The only upside is that it's safer to breathe
Capital Punishment: Yes. The fear of death needs to be put back into our Justice system.
Censorship: NO
Cuba: I think keeping a grudge this long is silly. We pay more lip service to real local threats. Like Bolivia, Venezuela, and especially Canada (hehe, j/k)
Current Administration (Bush/Cheney): Relics of a past that should've died with Nixon, but unfortunately did not.
Current Congress: 50-90 year old kindergarteners in formal dress.
Education: Education is one thing I really think needs to be privatized. An example would institutions like University High School, or vocational schools. It works tremendously in countries like Germany and Finland (countries in which I have lived). Some children really just don't have any ambition and will never want to go to school. If that's what they want, then they should be given the option to attend schools that teach menial tasks and jobs, and earn them a paycheck. I think this would separate the bad apples, from the kids that really want to learn.
Electoral College: NO
Flag Burning: Personal decision that hurts no one. Don't bitch if you get your ass beat though
Foreign Policy: I tend to lean towards isolationism, but we still must be responsible, and friendly neighbors. Aid those who wish it, and leave alone those who wish to be left alone unless they pose a threat to the entire world.
Free Trade: If there's anything we can learn from Eastern philosophy it is that a balance must be sought in all things. Free Trade is anything but. That's why the Chinese love trading with us because they understand the meaning of balance, and it is greatly in their favor on this issue. That's what you get when you trade with a slave culture.
Gay Rights: I believe it's called "Human Rights".
Global Warming: We're far from having the ability to stop this boulder from rolling over on us in the future. The best we can do is run until we figure out a way to survive the eventual rollover.
Globalization: No
Gun Control: It's a personal freedom we're entitled to have, but I think their legal ownership is not long for our constitutional rights. Their banning will solve nothing though.
Healthcare: There needs to be more accountability in the Healthcare sector, but I don't think socialization is the answer.
Illegal Immigration: Deal with those who are here to cause trouble, harshly, and leave those who are here to be productive members of our society alone. This is a problem that has blown up way out of control, and deportation smacks of concentration camps. Just laying down on immigrants doesn't sound right either. It's probably the #1 toughest issue we face as a nation today, and it definitely doesn't have an easy answer either way you look at it.
Marijuana Legalization: A waste of time for law enforcement, and a waste of money for taxpayers keeping non-violent offenders in jail for 20+ years.
Media Bias: Who cares? If you believe these jokers for more than half of what they say, that's your problem.
School Prayer: A personal choice. It should not be forced upon anyone
Separation of Church and State: I'll give you an example of why it must be maintained. A year or two ago, there was a big tiff about some Judge that wanted to display the 10 Commandments outside his Courthouse. I try to live my life by the 10 Commandments. They're a good guideline. But they are not a guideline for Justice in a democratic nation. Should we take kids who don't obey their parents to court? Should we send Hindus to jail because they believe in more than one god? A democracy is not run on such absolutism that is found in religion. It is dangerous.
Social Security: I've been paying for it a long time. It's very hard to say dissolve it, but it does need to stop.
Stem Cell Research: See my answer to the abortion question. Fear of stem cells reminds me of the fear people had that the Earth wasn't the center of the Universe.
The Constitution: Duh.
United Nations: Far from perfect, but it's the best defense we have against another World War.
War in Iraq: Should never have been started. It was a strategic blunder of the greatest proportion that has happened in military history since Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Bush would've actually been a good president in my eyes if wasn't for this steaming crock of shit. However, I believe "cutting and running" would only make things worse. We need to start drawing our troops down for sure, but we need to leave a security force in place to keep it from becoming Iran.
Welfare: Only the disabled should be guaranteed Welfare. Unemployment needs to engender more responsibility, and the minimum wage must be increased greatly. Those that simply do not want to work should not be given money for nothing. Charity works in a pinch anyway.
Wiretapping: If done legally within the confines of our Constitution.
Economy: Working in the manufacturing industry for a while I can tell you that we are in a war with China at the moment and we are slowly losing. They are the biggest threat to our Economy, and if we do not balance the trade between us it will collapse our economy. But likely, and ironically theirs will follow not long afterwards. It wouldn't be good for us or China obviously, but nearly the entire world would benefit from the both us having our bubble burst a little bit.
