My political view

Hello All!!

My name is Shauna Conner and my political view point has always been and will always be Republican.  Now please allow me to explain.  I was raised in a military, very old fashioned family.  We have always leaned more towards the conservative side. Because in my family if you weren't Republican you were a "hippy".  I believe that you get what you put into life and in my opinion the Democrats are working very hard at shaping America into a "welfare state".  I believe wholeheartedly in protecting our freedoms to make our own choices (One of the reasons why I do not agree nor support the Affordable Care Act). I have always voted Republican because I believe that they have our military and their needs in their best interest.  Having come from a military family and prior Navy myself that matters a great deal to me.  As I've been reading the first three units in our textbook Ive become familiar with quiet a few new words.  Equality of Outcome. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around this one.  While I do believe that there is a purpose for federally funded programs like Medicaid, Food Stamps, etc. I, however; do not believe that those said programs should be used as "crutches" for people who just plain do not want to work for their own. I agree 100% in our freedom of the right to bear arms.  As a Republican I do not see my party trying to restrict those rights.  So while I apologize to anyone reading this that I might have offended, I do not apologize for my beliefs.
