Honesty

·              Honesty is not optional; honesty is imperative.

·              Dishonesty is potentially the preeminent, most pervasive and most hurtful modern day social problem.

·              Dishonesty is not made moral because it is used as a means to accomplish a concededly good objective.

·              A half-truth is a whole lie that is the most deceptive and despicable of all lies.

·              Institutionalized dishonesty (i.e., has become standard operating procedure of any organization) is the most dangerous form of dishonesty.

Morality

·              A society with no governmentally-enforced public morality is a society with a useless and/or dangerous government.

·              The institution of Government is designed for no purpose other than defining and enforcing public morality.

Crime/Punishment

·              Unpunished irresponsible exercise of a "right" jeopardizes the continued existence of the "right" for responsible exercise by others, e.g., abusive use of First Amendment rights to injure persons or society or to negate other rights jeopardizes responsible exercise of First Amendment rights by others because the First Amendment begins to be identified as socially dangerous .

·              There is hardly too high a price for society to pay to reduce crime (measured by common law standards) to a miniscule level.

·              Capital punishment is neither cruel nor unusual.

·             Incarceration of convicted and unconvicted inmates, alike, should be under circumstances that absolutely insures the personal safety of the inmate in pristinely sanitary conditions with adequate nourishment and healthcare; otherwise, there should be complete isolation with no privacy and no amenities; re-entry into any societal setting must be gradual, measured and closely monitored.

·              Unenforced criminal laws are counterproductive hypocrisy that spread the message that law is unimportant in making life's choices.

·              Permitting white collar crime (including public corruption) to be given lower prosecutorial priority than crimes involving force and violence is more destructive to society than crimes involving force and violence.

·              Prosecutors and police authorities must have no discretion to prioritize enforcement of criminal laws in such a way as to allow a prosecutor or police authorities to deemphasize a criminal law into effectual nonexistence.

·              Failure to make prosecution of ancillary crimes (e.g., accessory before and/or after the fact, aiding and abetting, harboring, misprision, perjury, suborning perjury, etc.) a high priority increases the cost, burden and effectiveness of all law enforcement efforts.

·              The notion that there are victimless crimes is a cruel myth.

Freedom of Expression

·              The freedom to express all ideas is an inalienable right.

·              There is no freedom to express all ideas by means, in a manner or at a time that is destructive of equally inalienable rights.

·              "Conduct" is not protected as "speech" simply because it is used to express an idea.

Human Life

·              All human life, from the time of conception, is precious and endows the person conceived with all the inalienable benefits of personhood, initially and most fundamentally, the right to live.

·              The oughtness of taking of a person's life in vitro should be determined by the standards common law uses to determine if a homicide is justifiable.

Pluralism

·              Not enough pluralism is a bad thing; too much pluralism is an even worse thing.

·              Good diversity is very good; bad diversity is destructive.

·              Division that divides good people (of all races, all creeds, both genders, all religions, all irreligious, young, old and so on) from bad people (of all races, all creeds, both genders, all religions, all irreligious, young, old and so on) is good division; togetherness that combines good people (of all races, all creeds, both genders, all religions, all irreligious, young, old and so on) with bad people (of all races, all creeds, both genders, all religions, all irreligious, young, old and so on) is bad togetherness.

Situationalism

·              Life is a continuum; life is not an exercise in Relativism.

·              Resolving troublesome situations by application of preexisting and controlling standards (precedent) is a good thing; resolving troublesome situations on an ad hoc basis not conceding the preexistence of controlling standards (precedent-free) is a bad thing.

·              A precedent-free judicial system is situationalism that is destructive of justice; a precedent-controlled judicial system of blindfolded justice (non-situational) is supreme justice.

Poverty

·             Persons who prey on the poor in order to profit need to be prosecuted.

·             Persons who exploit their own poverty as a means to profit need to be prosecuted.

·              Providing food to the hungry, water to the thirsty and shelter to the needy is God's work.

·              A person who can work, but refuses to work, abandons the special place God has for the poor in God's economy and becomes, instead, a sluggard not deserving of food.

·              Providing the poor with "assistance" that entraps them and perpetuates poverty by enticing the able poor to refuse to work is cruel philanthropy that endangers the welfare of the ones "assisted" and society as a whole.

·              A government welfare state produces a weak state that creates weak citizens who, on the whole, create a clear and present danger each to the other.

·              No child and no infirm citizen ought ever to be without the necessities of life.

Economy

·              For the preservation of free enterprise, commercial bribery ought to be a felony vigorously prosecuted.

·              Acts and omissions by which employees of businesses that breach a fiduciary duty of self-sacrifice in relation to shareholders creates a major threat to the viability of free enterprise and must be stopped by society at all cost.

·              Free enterprise that abandons strict adherence to the Judeo-Christian Work and Family Ethic is a clear and present danger to society.

·              Free enterprise that strictly adheres to the Judeo-Christian Work and Family Ethic teaches and instills traits out of which the fabric of which society is woven.

·              Money is a good thing that creates worthwhile potentialities; the love of money is an evil that begets pride and materialism.

·              Pride and materialism are destructive of human beings and societies.

·              Nothing tests character in a way equal to the test by which a person's character is tested by wealth (i.e., camel and eye of a needle).

·              Prosperity and wealth are not synonymous.

·              Greed is the greatest threat to free enterprise.

·              For free enterprise not to flourish threatens everything precious to our being as a Nation.

·              Free enterprise becomes its own worst enemy when it declares itself amoral and, thereby, justifies immorality as "just business, if there is a ready market for a product, i.e., logic that supplying the market demand is permissible inspective of what effect the product has on the purchasers of society."

·              Free enterprise that attempts to legitimize entrepreneurial efforts to supply market demand for goods and services that are inconsistent with public morality or other public interests puts free enterprise in a position antagonistic to the institution of Government.

·              Monopolistic concentration of market force is self-destructive of free enterprise.

Politics

·              "Politician:" Webster (Webster's II New College Dictionary 2005) defines 2. One who seeks personal or partisan gain, often by crafty or dishonest means.

·              "Statesmanship" Webster (id) defines "statesman:" 2. A ... political leader who is considered to be above partisan politics.

·              Statesmanship is never a problem and always provides solution; politics is always a problem and never provides a solution.

·              Statesmanship sees pride as deadly; politics promotes pride.

·              Statesmanship is the art of making servants into leaders with a servants' hearts; politics is the art of making leaders "rulers."

·              Statesmanship is assuring that the power never leaves the electorate; politics is the art of drawing power from the electorate.

·              Statesmanship requires all cards face-up, on top of the table all of the time constantly inviting bright sunshine full disclosure; politics requires holding as many cards as possible as close as possible to your chest as long as possible and only revealing cards, of your own choosing, in your own timing.

·              Statesmanship is the pragmatics of artful compromise in achieving the public's interest; Politics is horse trading to feathers nests inspective of the public's interest.

·              Statesmanship is artful compromise; willingness to capitulate on core values is politics.

·              Politics is symbolized by Abramoff- like corruption and the thousands of others like him Abramoffs who are smart enough not to get caught.

·              Politics teaches that certain things that corrupt government are excusable because "it's just politics."

·              Politics is the art of using hoopla, bandwagons and hyperbole to garner support from constituents.

·              "Politics" and "government" are not synonymous.

·              Politics is a bad thing; Government is a good thing.

·              Politics is successfully placating the press.

·              Politics is the art of passing off ambiguities as reliable information in order to garner support for what the supporter would not support, if the ambiguities were fully clarified.

·              People wrongly dislike government because they rightly dislike politics.

·              Because people think that "politics" and "government" are the same thing, people abandon interest they otherwise would have in government.

·              Life without politics in government is life with government as it was designed to be.

·              Statesmanship never allows sacrifice of a core value to achieve any objective; Politics is the art of placating one's enemies, even by capitulating a core value, if necessary to gain an objective deemed important enough.

·              No end is so noble that accomplishing it by the means of politics is justifiable.

·              People rightly have given up on politicians and, therefore, see government only as a thing to be criticized.
