1. America is Good.

America is a good country. I don’t know if I would go so far as to say “America is Good” in such a sweeping manner.

2. I believe in God. He is the center of my life.

Well, OK, but not something I require of a political candidate.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

All right. I can try.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

The family is sacred. However, my spouse and I are NOT the ultimate authority on many things.

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

That’s one of the things we’re not the ultimate authority on.

6. I have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

Never was, but some of us like the idea of a safety net anyhow.

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

Oh, *** off. That’s the fanciest way of saying that you don’t want to pay your taxes I ever did hear.

8. It is not -un American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

Where were YOU in 2003? Jus’ askin’.

9. The government works for the people. The people do not answer to the government; the government answers to the people.

OK.
