To deflect criticism of their bankrupting ways, Democrats label Republicans as the “party of no.” The Democrats are correct only phonetically. It is not “no” that defines Republicans, or should, but rather “know.”
Let the guitarboy help out the spelling-challenged Democrats understand what the bedrock of the Republican Party, conservatives, instinctively and intellectually know.
We know:
* Stimulating the economy and getting America growing again begins with tax cuts across the board including payroll, corporate and individual taxes.
* Prosperity cannot be brought about by taxing, borrowing and spending trillions of dollars.
* Leveraging future tax dollars of our children and grandchildren is immoral, unethical and should be illegal.
* Economic producers cannot be punished without also punishing the working class.
* Bad economic decisions roll downhill quickly. (We are surprised that everyone doesn’t seem to know this.)
* Chrysler will ultimately fail because it is now being run by the federal government and the labor unions.
* Energy independence can only be had by drilling off-shore and building many new nuclear power plants.
* “Cap and trade” of carbon emissions is nothing more than a tax that will punish those who can least afford it.
* Bailing out failing businesses with tax dollars is not what our founding fathers had in mind.
* More gun-control laws will not reduce violence but will instead create more victims.
* More guns equal less crime.
* More government programs, requirements, agencies and employees are not the answer.
* President Reagan was correct when he said that government was the problem, not the solution.
* Throwing more money at a social problem does not correct the problem. Often it exacerbates it.
* Democrats through time have shoveled hundreds of billions of our tax dollars at various social and cultural problems not with the intent of solving the problems, but to attract votes.
* We have adequate immigration laws but lack the political will to enforce them, or those with the power ignore their obligation to enhance political power.
* Judges should be impartial, not empathetic to a group based on race, creed or sex.
* “Politically correct” is a euphemism for “brain dead.”
* All crime is a hate crime.
* Too many young people do not graduate from high school, the key reason being that too many of their parents do not value education.
* More money for education is not the answer.
* Our enemies abroad are violent Muslims who hate America for our freedoms and Western values.
* We cannot negotiate with them. Killing them is our only hope.
* Compromising our values, beliefs and ideals under the smog of “getting along” may satisfy Democrats and some lukewarm Republicans, but it’s a losing strategy.
These are things we know to be true. When we say “no” it’s because we know.
