I'm PRO-LIFE and would support universal healthcare that would have to be paid for by not giving monies to every country and IF there was an option to opt out without penalties.

It was still peaceful - you hyping it up will not prove your point.
When the left protests it's mostly accompanied with violence.

Has the world gone mad?

Well the US has gone mad and IMO it really was starting to be noticeable when #44 was running for POTUS - the divide has been and will get worse.

Yet we have the 2nd amendment to the Constitution and many still want to forget about it when it fits their narrative.

The MSM = as they really did a to what you were saying in your first paragraph.

On the surface, very similar to my position. I am pro-life also. I believe in a balanced budget.

A universal healthcare program would probably be more economical in the long run than what we have right now (historically it has worked out that way everywhere else), and with more accessible preventive care we would see less time off for illness of even our lowest paid workers ... greater productivity and a more competitive economy. All of our closest allies have some sort of universal healthcare system, including Israel, which accepts billions of US dollars to prop itself up. We could at the very least spend as much on our own people's health.

I believe we spend too much on foreign aid, which hearkens back to the Cold War when we had to bribe countries to be our friends and allies. We spend too much on our far-flung military base system around the world, we should not be the world's policeman, it is overreach. If we cut that back we could apply that money to improving our infrastructure at home and educating our youth. We need to reorder our priorities. Americans First.

I'm informed it's to keep some other unspecified people honest. The mechanism is a bit vague.
