Ellis for President!

I complain a lot on here about politics, in case you haven't noticed. When I'm not telling embarrassing stories about my failures to get into the cool club that's usually what I'm talking about. And I usually throw something in there about how political pundits who never give fair credit to the other side when it's due.
Recently I was told by someone, who I'll be surprised if they read this, that I never give any reason for them to believe that I am nothing more than a flaming liberal. Now, I will admit that I usually do lean to the left on things, maybe it has something to do with being left handed. So, in the interest of fairness and not wanting to turn into a political pundit myself (even though I would never be that famous) I'm going to try to give my view on a couple of things. Some go to the left, and some go to the right.
-Firearms: I'll admit it. I love guns. They're loud and they're fun to shoot. I often wonder how smart it is to let people buy machine guns that can shoot 100 rounds a second (the mini-Gatling gun) but I have to admit that it would be fun to have one. I think there should definitely be safety measures such as a waiting period and stuff but...let them buy guns I say.
-Green Energy: I think anyone with any lick of common sense can agree that global warming is real. All the scientist say it and the only people who don't agree with it happen to be the people who are tied in with fossil fuel agencies so, go figure. I think that the world has to move to greener energy otherwise we're in for a lot of trouble. I also realize that a lot of people make their living off of fossil fuels. The best solution I have is to transfer those people to producing green energy. If there's as many jobs in that as they say there are then it shouldn't be a problem.
-Health Care: I think everyone should have it. I don't know how besides paying for it with taxes. There are problems with it but as of right now I don't know how to fix that.
-Education: College should be payed for by the government. Is it fair to tax everyone even though not everyone goes to college? No. That's why I think America could adopt the European style of education and open trade schools. That way, even if a person doesn't want to go to a college they have a government payed for trade school to help them better understand the market that they're in.
-Bailouts: I don't think they should have happened. This is a capitalistic economy, therefore if your business doesn't do well you're suppose to fail. I think they should have let the banks and big business sink. It would have saved us a ton of money and hassle.
-Immigration: I obviously think people should come here legally. However, since I have an aunt who recently did that I can understand why many choose to cross illegally. The U.S. immigration system is a bitch. Make it easier (I don't know how, I'm not an expert) and it might lesson the problem. Aliens should be deported but I don't think they should be demonized. I don't know if you've seen Mexico lately but I know I wouldn't want to really live there.
And as for that Muslim cultural center/mosque two blocks from ground zero? I can see how why it's making some people mad. However, this country prides itself on religious tolerance. Therefore I say let them build it. An argument has been made that it's being funded by groups that support extremist groups. That could be a problem. But if it's not then let them build it in peace. Because of 9/11 some 3,000 Americans were killed, 33 of which were innocent Muslims. I feel like we need to show to the world that we are a grown up nation that doesn't blame the ill doing of others on an entire group of people.
Well, that's it. I don't mention gay marriage because I don't feel like it's really that big of a deal. With all the shit that's going down marriage shouldn't really be a national issue. Anyway that's my deal. Love me or hate me let me know.
