What it means to me to be a Republican is something I carry with pride. I have been reading these articles on what it means to be Republican. WHAT!? Obviously those who chose to write on this topic are not Republicans. They are obviously liberal democrats trying to smear the ideology of the Republican Party. I want to clarify some of the things that have been thrown out there to give a better prespective of what most Republicans are.

We believe that a strong military is essential in protecting our sovereignty. We believe that the government should give a hand up not a hand out. We believe in free markets and less regulations.

We believe in our constitution and that the Supreme Court justices should follow the constitution as set forth by our founding fathers and not legislate from the bench. We believe that every American should have the right to follow their dream without the interference of the government through mandates, regulations, and taxes. We believe that less taxes grows the economy. We believe in helping those that are less fortunate. We believe that in order for the government to work right, it must remain small. We believe that there needs to be less spending, less earmarks, less pork. We believe that we have enough oil to sustain our country for the next 60 years; we believe that there are better ways to save the environment than by having the government mandate and regulate businesses into bankruptcy. We believe that
