Message: <blockquote data-quote="JB Books" data-source="post: 2023325" data-attributes="member: 6889">To me "social liberalism" means the following:If you are gay, that's your business alone, not mine or the government's.  If you find someone you want to spend your life with, you should be entitled to the same rights as anyone else.  Not SPECIAL rights, just the same.  If a church does not want to marry you, that is the RIGHT of that church and should be respected.We should have some programs that help people become productive members of society.  Not a hand OUT, but a real hand UP, that is designed to help people better their circumstances through THEIR own hard work.On immigration, as I have said until my normally pink face is blue...1). secure the border; 2). provide a humane pathway to mainstream the people that are ALREADY here and CONTRIBUTING to the economic life of the US; 3). Put mechanisms in place to provide a workable GUEST worker program in which we (AMERICA) can benefit from the labor of guest workers and they can benefit from having a job.  This is a simple common sense solution.Gambling, pot, etc. should be left up the each State to to decide for itself.As for redistributing wealth...I am very opposed to that.  I am willing to pay my fair share, but I work damned hard and sacrificed a lot and ought to get the benefit of my work.</blockquote>
