... what would that sentence be?
I'm not talking political affiliation. I'm talking your political worldview. What is the principle that is coherent throughout your entire political worldview?
For me, it's in my signature: "We are who we are; we believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility on all issues at all times."

I don't know if it counts as ideology, but this is my response to our government in the following situations: if it is my parents' farm in SE Ohio that my family's owned for over 100 years:
"Get off my lawn"
If it is our home in Virginia:
"If we are paying close to $15,000 in local and real estate tax, why are our public schools so bad kids can't attend?"
Overseas:
"Why do we have to pay so much tax when we use no services, not even Germany or France taxes its ex-pats so much?"

I was going to go with "Government should protect citizens unalienable rights but stay out of the private sector." But I like yours as well.queencitybuckeye;1262613 wrote:Do what you want, pay your own way.

The American Dream is NOT a right, but an Opportunity to work hard for the chance to earn success; and the moment the majority starts living off the minority, the hard work, innovation, and uniqueness of the United States dissolves.

All of these are good. I'll just use one of them. Any one.

Never given this much thought but I will give it a try.
Jeopardizing my standard, goals, prosperity and expectation is not the government right.

"In our personal ambitions we are individualists, but in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up or else all go down as one people."
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little."
Both are quotes from FDR that reflect my ideals.

Rational pragmatism.
Too many idealogues in Washington that don't consider a practical path to their goals.
