Ted Nugent, rocker and gun rights activist, posted these thoughts regarding liberal comments that Republicans are the "party of 'no'":
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.
