Conservative Political Forum

How’s it going everyone? New to these boards and looking for a place to talk conservative politics. I’m a 29 year old Floridian and Christian. Most of my political views are libertarian, as I’m for small government and personal liberty, though not as socially liberal as most libertarians. I’m a strong 2a supporter viewing gun control laws as unconstitutional, I’m pro-life, pro-cannabis legalization, for criminal justice reform (decriminalizing drug use/harsher sentencing for selling/trafficking etc), I’m ok with same sex marriage, as I feel what goes on in anyone’s bedroom or who you decide to marry isn’t government’s business. However, I’m a strong believer that there are only 2 genders and disagree with gender identity being given the place it is being given. Anyone is free to identify as whatever they want to identify as, but the government should not consider you the gender you identify as, nor should it force others, to include employers and other citizens to treat you as such. I’m also a strong 4a supporter and believe the government has been given far too much power in the name of terrorism. I’m a free market capitalist, believing the government should have little to no involvement in the free market. I support auditing the federal reserve and eliminating unnecessary federal agencies. As far as foreign policy, I believe wars should only be fought in defense of our country, however, I have no problems with special operations units training and advising foreign militaries/militias in the fight against terrorism. I would favor cuts to defense spending, so long as we could maintain the world’s best trained and technologically advanced military. I agree with increasing border security (a.k.a building the wall), deporting illegal immigrants (though I favor paths to citizenship for those that have been here more than 10 years, have created a family, and pay taxes/can prove they have been working). Though I may not agree with him on everything, I am a strong Trump supporter and believe he is the president America needed after Obama. I believe he has done an admirable job and has been the best president in my lifetime. I’d like to see him give Rand Paul a spot on his cabinet if re-elected in 2020 and believe somebody like Rand Paul should be the future of the Republican Party.

I look forward to discussions on here and learning more, as mainstream media becomes increasingly unreliable. If you have any questions, ask away.

Any other libertarian leaning Republicans on here?

Now he could move up to a B+ or even a A-.   

I like to give them a little runway...   

I favor a flat tax,

then implement substantial spending cuts to counter the revenue losses.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t consider myself a full blown libertarian. I just know there are several issues (mostly social) the average Republican doesn’t agree with me on, at least from what I’ve gathered by conversing with many over the years. I definitely used to be a lot more libertarian when I was younger, think several years back when the Ron Paul craze was a thing.

I looked for this thread when I joined. I finally had to ask someone.
Your right it deserves a more prominent location.
