Poll: Do you have a criminal record?

This is an easy one. Nope - and if I did, the government would not have given me a security clearance. So I must look trustworthy at the very least. Society & Politics

I just don’t understand pro birth people? Thoughts?

Who are more gullible, Flat Earthers or Trump supporters?

Police. Are they American Heroes?

Voted Yes, though in a strict understanding of the word, "heroes" are those who go above and beyond their specific duties. So in that sense, there are definitely a subset of police who qualify as... Society & Politics

Basic Politics: Dems want to govern…Repubs want to drown the Federal Govt?

Why do so many Trump supporters have such a childish fascination with their cult leader?

Ordinarily I would go into a prolonged response, and what follows I say as no fan of Mr. Trump. However, are you too young to recall the Barak Obama era? Every word was taken as profound. He would... Society & Politics

Should Churches who engage in politics (hold a speaking event for a political candidate) lose their tax exempt status?

Voted No, as the premise of the question is based on a misreading of the Constitution and American political culture generally. Indeed, the effect of deleting the tax exempt status would likely... Society & Politics

Should the death penalty replace lifetime in prison?

While I understand the case for the death penalty, it suffers from some logical defects. The purpose of the law in general and the penal system in particular is first and foremost, to protect... Society & Politics

How do you feel when around police and law enforcement?

Voted "Safe." No joke, when I was no more than 5 years old, I can remember my mother telling my younger brother and me, "If you kids get thrown in jail you can expect to stay there because I won't... Society & Politics

Will the US abandon its security support to Europe through NATO and concentrate its forces in the Pacific?

Her body her choice, his wallet his choice? Agree or disagree?

Vote B, but really neither A nor B as the rights and needs of the child are paramount. Adding to this then that the woman is obliged to carry the life she made - absent a threat to her life - and... Society & Politics

Will Russia and China try to take over the world?

The question is a bit of a misnomer. Nations pursue their interests and seek security. This they do, in part, by seeking to dominate the region around them and as that sphere of interest widens,... Society & Politics

Which political belief do you more closely identify with?

"Conservative." However, I always, when I see this kind of question, have to put an asterisk over it. My conservatism is not what Americans typically call conservative. Because what Americans call... Society & Politics

The "Inflation Reduction Act" needs a new name. One that fits exactly what it really is. What would you like to rename it?

It's the "Payoff for Every Faction of the Democratic Party Act." That may seem a bit harsh, but that is what in fact it amounts to. In part because the only way to get it through the Senate - and... Society & Politics

Abortion. Roe vs Wade for or against?

It is not quite clear if the question is asking about the reasoning of Roe or the impact of its' outcome. In terms of the former, even the late - and quite liberal - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,... Society & Politics
