The world according to Ted Nugent (long). Good read.
Written by Ted Nugent, the rock singer and hunter/naturalists, upon
Hearing that California Senators B. Boxer and D. Feinstein denounced him
for
Being a"gun owner" and a "Rock Star". This was his response after telling
the senators about his past contributions to children's charities and
scholarship foundations which have totaled more than $13.some million the
last 5 years.
Here's Ted:
I'm a Bad American - this pretty much sums it up for me. I like big
trucks, big boats, big houses, and naturally, pretty women. I believe the
money
I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid-level governmental
functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack
addicts squirting out babies. I don't care about appearing compassionate.
I
think playing with toy guns doesn't make you a killer. I believe ignoring
your kids and giving them Prozac might. I think I'm doing better than the
homeless. I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized.
I have the right not to be tolerant of others because they are different,
weird or make me mad. This is my life to live, and not necessarily up to
others expectations. I know what SEX is and there are not varying
degrees of it. I don't celebrate Kwanzaa. But if you want to that's
fine;
I
just don't feel like everyone else should have to. I believe that if you
are
selling me a Dairy Queen shake, a pack of cigarettes, or hotel room you
do it in English. As of matter of fact, if you are an American citizen you
should speak English. My uncles and forefathers shouldn't have had to
die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come
disrespect
ours, and make us bend to your will. Get over it. I think
the cops have every right to shoot your sorry butt if you're running
from them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word
'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the previous line. I don't use the
excuse
"it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular opinions or actions. I
know
how to count votes and I feel much safer letting a machine with no
political
affiliation do a recount when needed. I know what the definition of
lying is, and it isn't based on the word "is" - ever. I don't think just
because you were not born in this country, you qualify for any special
loan
programs, gov't sponsored bank loans, etc., so you can open a hotel,
7-Eleven, trinket shop, or any thing else, while the indigenous peoples
can't get past a high school education because they can't afford it. I
didn't take the initiative in inventing the Internet. I thought the Taco
Bell dog was funny. I want them to bring back safe and sane fireworks. I
believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or
Marilyn Manson sang, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to that crap
from someone else's car when I'm stopped at a red light. But I respect
your right to. I think that being a student doesn't give you any more
enlightenment than working at Blockbuster or Jack In The Box. I don't want
to eat or drink
anything with the words light, lite or fat-free on the package. Our
soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives in vain
and defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell me it's a
living document ever changing and is open to interpretation. The guys who
wrote it were light years ahead of anyone today, and they meant what they
said - now leave the document alone, or there's going to be trouble. I
don't hate the rich. I help the poor. I know wrestling is fake.
I've never owned, or was a slave, and a large percentage of our
forefathers
weren't wealthy enough to own one either. Please stop blaming me because
some prior white people were idiots - and
remember, tons of white, Indian, Chinese, and other races have been
enslaved too -it was wrong for every one of them. I believe a
self-righteous liberal Democrat with a cause is more dangerous than a
Hell's
Angel with
an attitude. I want to know exactly which church is it where the
"Reverend"
Jessie Jackson preaches; and, what exactly is his job function. I own a
gun, you can own a gun, and any red-blooded American should be allowed to
own
a gun, but if you use it in a crime, then you will serve the time. I think
Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to
Make more. If it makes you mad, then invent the next operating system
that's
better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented
the Internet to help you. I don't believe in hate crime legislation. Even
suggesting it makes me mad. You're telling me that someone who is a
minority, gay, disabled, another nationality, or otherwise different
from the mainstream of this country has more value as a human being that I
do
as a white male? If someone kills anyone, I'd say that it's a hate crime.
We don't need more laws! Let's enforce the ones we already have. I think
turkey bacon, turkey beef, turkey fake anything sucks. I believe that it
doesn't take a village to raise a child - it takes a parent with the guts
to
stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say "NO!" when it's necessary
to
do so. I'll admit that the only movie that ever made me cry was Ole'
Yeller.
I didn't realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I had a kid.
I will not be frowned upon or be looked down upon or be made to keep
Silent because I have these beliefs and opinions. I thought this country
Allowed me that right. I will not conform or compromise just to keep from
hurting somebody's feelings. I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no
matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to
believe
otherwise. Yes, I guess by some people's definition, I may be a bad
American. But that's tough.

COULDN"T AGREE MORE.
It boils my blood when our country treats us differently based on race or color, they do it with their laws and charity on a daily basis. And they preach to us about racism? Explain that to me!!!!

Long-time fan... his views are now more precious than most of his music (more)
and we need more like him. This guy has plenty of smarts and doesn't stand down. No drugs, no cigarettes, little alcohol, much energy and intellect.
Go back to songs like Great White Buffalo (pre-**** Dang Sweet Poontang)and see that this guy was thinking well beyond "rockstar" even at 20 years old.
CB, thanks for posting. Nice to see musicions from MY generation making a difference. Many people seem to think that John Lennon was the last of the intellectual musicians. I think not.

Took the words right out of my mouth, especially....
"I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid-level governmental
functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies. I don't care about appearing compassionate."
