I will use the conservative points to illustrate why they are better on these same issues.
Quote:

Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.

Quote:
Abortion
Human life begins at conception. Abortion is the murder of a human being. An unborn baby, as a living human being, has separate rights from those of the mother. Oppose taxpayer-funded abortion.

DUh
Quote:
Affirmative Action
Individuals should be admitted to schools and hired for jobs based on their ability.
|
DUh
Quote:
Death Penalty
The death penalty is a punishment that fits the crime of murder; it is neither ‘cruel' nor ‘unusual.' Executing a murderer is the appropriate punishment for taking an innocent life.

Quote:
Global Warming
Change in global temperature is natural over long periods of time. Science has not shown that humans can affect permanent change to the earth’s temperature. Proposed laws to reduce carbon emissions will do nothing to help the environment and will cause significant price increases for all. Many reputable scientists support this theory.

Quote:
Gun Control
The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Individuals have the right to defend themselves. There are too many gun control laws – additional laws will not lower gun crime rates. Gun control laws do not prevent criminals from obtaining guns.

DUh
Quote:
Immigration
Support legal immigration only. Oppose amnesty for those who enter the U.S. illegally (illegal immigrants). Those who break the law by entering the U.S. illegally do not have the same rights as those who obey the law and enter legally.

DUh
Quote:
Private Property
Respect ownership and private property rights. Eminent domain (seizure of private property by the government--with compensation to the owner) in most cases is wrong. Eminent domain should not be used for private development.

DUh
Quote:
Religion & Government
The phrase “separation of church and state” is not in the Constitution.

DUh (I just said that)
Quote:
Same-sex Marriage
Marriage is the union of one man and one woman.

DUh, ty Merriam & Websters definition for thousands of years.
Quote:
Social Security
The Social Security system is in serious financial trouble. Major changes to the current system are urgently needed. In its current state, the Social Security system is not financially sustainable. It will collapse if nothing is done to address the problems.

Socialism doesn't work?? DUh
Quote:
Taxes
Lower taxes and a smaller government with limited power will improve the standard of living for all. Support lower taxes and a smaller government.
|
DUh
Quote:
United Nations (UN)
The UN has repeatedly failed in its essential mission to promote world peace and human rights. The wars, genocide and human rights abuses taking place in many Human Rights Council member states (and the UN's failure to stop them) prove this point.

DUh
Quote:
War on Terror/Terrorism
Terrorism poses one of the greatest threats to the U.S.

Stupid in general, but I can accept this over the global warming bullshit.
Quote:
Welfare
Oppose long-term welfare. Opportunities should be provided to make it possible for those in need to become self-reliant.
