Conservatism Poem by Justin Reamer

I am a conservative,
And I am Republican,
And these are my political beliefs.

I am pro-life,
For a foetus is a human being,
And committing abortion is wrong,
For it is killing a child.
Abortion should be restricted
Or abolished,
And should only be used
When necessary,
Such as if the wife was about to die.

I am for capital punishment,
For killing a man
Who murdered another man
Is a good consequence.
Obviously, if the man
Killed another man,
He does not deserve to live.

I believe in big government
As far as social freedoms,
and I am for small government
On economic freedoms.

I am against stem cell research,
For embryos are life,
And we should not mess with it,
For we would kill a human being,
And there are other ways to
Find stem cells;
That way, we do not have to kill a human being.

I am against euthanasia,
For it is not okay for someone
To take someone else's life.

I am also against assisted suicide,
For someone cannot take their own life,
For that is a gift from God,
And, yes, it is sacred.

I believe in the Patriot Act,
For many terrorists are Arabs,
Especially since they are al Qaeda,
And thus we should have the Patriot Act,
And it is good for the country and its people.

I am for antidisestablishmentarianism,
For the Constitution says
That the country cannot uphold one religion,
But it does not say anything about
Restricting someone's moral values,
Which is inevitably true.

I am against gay marriage,
For marriage is sacred,
And it is intended for a man and a woman,
Who are committed to each other.
Homosexuality is, after all, a sin.

I believe in cutting taxes,
Since the tax money is the people's money,
And they worked hard to earn it.
We should spend less because they
Did earn that money.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment,
Because people do have the right to
Own a gun,
But, if we persuade gun control,
We blame the gun for the crime,
Not the person.

I believe in restricting the First Amendment,
For people should not post obscene
Ideas on television or the internet,
Say profanity on the radio,
Or say slanderous things,
Or be able to write libel of any sort.
It is wrong.

I am against government programmes,
For help can be offered locally
Through charities and through
State and local governments,
For the people can help each other.

I am against high corporate taxes,
For the companies hire workers,
And this hinders them.

I believe in getting rid of useless
Regulations,
For they hinder all businesses,
And they hinder a free market economy.

I do not like Obamacare,
For it will be a bad way of life,
And one cannot get quality healthcare
From the government.
Besides, healthcare is a privilege,
Not a right.

We should use the military
For foreign affairs,
If necessary,
For they can secure our safety,
And they can rid of us of any threats,
And, besides, our allies would
Understand, anyhow.

These are my beliefs,
And this is my message.
