Terror

The purpose of Government is to protect the rights and property of the citizens. Nowhere is that better done, than defending us from foreign harm.
The best way to avoid harm and terror is to rely on fellow citizens. We should respect each other and all of our constitutional rights. What's the value of defending America, if we lose the values that define her?
===Foreign Policy===
Neutrality, free trade and strong, responsible defense. 
Jefferson said: Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none. 
Unfortunately, politicians have followed a policy of going anywhere and doing anything, and these policies have been a security disaster.
When Americans and American goods are allowed into other countries, the people want more of what America has: individual liberty, a free market economy and political freedom with open democratic elections. 
===The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.===
This isn't even to be questioned.
We are all conscious of the continuing threat of terror. Whenever I get on a plane or a train, whenever one of my loved ones takes a plane trip, I think of the dangers. We know that a free society inherently has vulnerabilities and we must take prudent precautions. In the long run, we can't win this defensively. We must win it offensively.
But we must not cede any sovereignty while we pursue this war. We can't always wait for the approval of the United Nations. We must define our foreign policy according to our interests, not those of the UN.
