The right to bear arms should be restricted.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The goal of uninfringed arms-keeping is the security of a free State, this goal weighs higher than reasons to restrict it.

Taxation is not theft.
In common usage, theft is the taking of another person's property without that person's consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it. Since there are no rightful owners there is no theft.

The Syrian civil war should be ended with diplomatic means.
[Maybe] overthrow[ing] the Assad dictatorship—was worth the lives it would cost in an attempt to produce better and more humane governance in Syria. That time has long past. There is now virtually no chance that an opposition military “victory” will lead to stable or peaceful governance in Syria.
