I want to get back to the limited government mandated by our sacred, original 20-page constitution.

- Cut back government, lower taxes, cut regulation
- Term limits
- Border wall
We must cut spending, finish the border wall, ensure the Supreme court remains at nine, term limits, cut taxes, reduce regulations, promote small business, break up big tech and media, cut welfare
I worship God and Jesus. They represent good over evil and are perfect in every way. The Bible sets boundaries and explains great values to live by. The values in the Bible support capitalism and hard work.
Redneck Dystopia by David Xu
Limited government must be restored in America.
Ethical. Tough, Hard worker. Respect and obey constitution. Christian. Fair. Long-term thinker and planner.
Enforce our constitution and protect the citizens. Ensure that America is strong decades from now.
I want to get back to the limited government as required by our original constitution. Cut government spending, borrowing, and taxing.
We watched the spacecraft launches in Florida during the 1960s. I was six years old.

Easy Riders: The Older Ones by David Xu
It's a Long Way to the Top if you want to Rock and Roll by ACDC.
Dealing with imperfection.
We must destroy socialism, communism, and racism.
I want to impose term limits on Congress and all judges.
The senators get to enforce, defend, and promote our golden constitution and keep America great with dog-eat-dog capitalism and limited government.
We need many more outsiders from the GOP in Congress now. The socialist Democrats and RINOs are pushing us toward socialism, communism, and racism. We reject that crap and obey our constitution. You can tell many folks in Congress never had a real job and do not understand business and capitalism. Socialism has never worked out for anyone, except the rulers.
I support the filibuster.
Do they obey the constitution? Are they ethical? Do they reject socialism, communism, and racism.
Military
Republican to the Democrat: We will stop telling the truth about you if you stop telling lies about us.
Ethical? Respect and obey our constitution? Moral? Hard worker? Did they have a real job? Did they serve in our military?
I will work with those who obey our constitution and love limited government.
