In 2026, Vote To Stop The Dictatorship Nonsense.Issue Discussion Page
Some "leaders" think deception is the best policy, and so they fill the people's heads with lies. They are tricking people into building their house on shifting sand, which is a rotten thing to do.Haven't we always known that HONESTY is the best policy?For actual progress, one must be honest with everyone involved, including oneself.
This is a gun-owning country.
As Americans, we expect that we will all retain ownership of our guns, and I don't think we will ever surrender this permanent American right.But we should re-write the 2nd amendment, because carrying must sometimes be infringed, when arrested or jailed, when a child, when crazy, or when on other people's property.I don't want increased gun-carry restrictions at the federal level. But state and local governments should be able to make their own fair rules, without supreme court micromanagement.We could also create a new, positive vision of "militia," as well-regulated, gun-carrying security volunteers. The benefit being that to protect the public, we won't have to depend on the integrity of random and paranoid people carrying guns. It will save lots of headaches to clarify the constitution on these items.Bump stocks are terrible. DJT was right to executive-ban them, but a good old court struck it down, so a law is needed. Nobody should be able to fire 1000 shots (as in Las Vegas) before somebody can stop them.
Abortion Compromise
In many jobs, there will be some aspect that the worker personally disagrees with, but if they want the job, they have to do what the boss says.A majority of 1st-district voters want an abortion ban; therefore, if I ever run for federal office, I would vote to allow state laws to prevail. That means Nebraska would maintain a pro-life policy.I would encourage a friend to choose life, for obvious reasons. And whatever she decides, I would not stand in her way.I believe that pro-choice is the best government policy. However, if I were to run for office, I would give my solemn word as a Nebraskan, and on my father's name, that as long as my district is pro-life, I would vote to defer to the states.I recommend to my state that they should never block medical intervention, which means don't punish doctors or close clinics. If you must punish someone, punish the poor girl afterward, or her rapist, but at least allow someone in danger to get the medical help that she needs.If there is a God who invented human reproduction, it makes little sense to think he plans every pregnancy, including wild errors such as ectopic pregnancy. That Creator planned for us to have the brains to solve our own problems, and to use medical technology and doctors to save our daughters, mothers, and future mothers; this must be part of God's will. As the famous story goes, "I sent you two boats and a helicopter!"Abortion is a serious issue, but it is also a no-win issue, an America-destroying issue. Please consider compromise, as it is necessary.
The Old Testament Also Says Rabbits Chew Their Cud, But They Don't.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people exist. They are born that way. And some religious people, adamantly, want nothing to do with them, which creates a need for compromise.Every person has human rights, and so we should defend their rights. But let us recognize that societal change takes time.First, freedom of religion requires that churches and parochial schools will choose their own policies. We can ask them to be inclusive, but they don't have to be.Public schools can set employee policy at the state or local level, because parents don't want federal control. But public schools must admit all students, and must treat them fairly.If people observe a reasonable dress code at work, a business should not discriminate. But violation of a dress code can create a serious problem for a business, so in such a case, the business should be allowed to handle it.I know these things will cause hurt feelings, and I'm sorry, but you're asking for trouble if you push, unwelcomed, into someone's business, school, or place of worship. Please, everyone, be fair, and try to get along.I suggest labeling restrooms "Ladies," and "Unisex." But remember, a decent person should let people use the restroom without an investigation.When it matters, sporting events should be segregated by sex, not gender. Let the ladies compete against ladies. And let the sports organizations write their own rules, with everyone's rights in mind.You know, hermaphrodites exist too. Male and female in one body. Good luck giving an Old-Testament answer about that... Better to go with the New one: Judge not, do not become angry, do not seek vengeance, but care about other people.
( Under Construction )
Crazy Donald, and his enablers, cannot be trusted.
Those of us who want a free country, including the good Republicans, must vote the Corrupticans out of our congress. And we go forward with hope that our votes will count in 2026. If the dictator gets his way, there likely won't be any counting in 2028.
