I chose the name Reaganite not only because this blog is centered around politics, but because President Reagan is my hero. Not only did he do wonders for this country, but he had policies that were not focused around what the republican party believed but were focused around a set of beliefs.

Principle over party.

Political parties can change, and so can their beliefs; but a fixed set of principles will never change. As for my political views, my devotion is to the truth. To that set of principles that make sense. I believe that government should be fiscally responsible, I believe that the Constitution is a document that is “written in stone,” meaning that it should only be interpreted with the same intent in which it was written. It is not a living document and should never be treated that way. I believe in the power of the individual, and the right of individuals to choose their own path in life.

I believe in freedom. Freedom of press, speach, assembly. Freedom to choose the religion you want, and freedom to exercise that belief. I believe that every life has value, from the unborn infant to the old man living down the road in the nursing home. I believe that every citizen has the individual right to keep and bear arms. I believe in order and the rule of law. I believe in a strong national defense and think that the greatest way to preserve peace is to prepare for war.

These are the beliefs that define me.
