We Have Met The Enemy And He Is Us!: Ted Nugent Speaks.

[SallyRand]

NUGENT: It is us!
We're the ones who allowed anti-Americans to take over America

By Ted Nugent: Barack Hussein Obama did not sneak into power. An army of clueless, disconnected, ignorant Americans invited him to bring his Marxist, glaringly anti-American jihad into our lives.

The Washington Times

5:55 p.m., Friday, July 30, 201

Barack Hussein Obama did not sneak into power. An army of clueless, disconnected, ignorant Americans invited him to bring his Marxist, glaringly anti-American jihad into our lives. This president's overtly destructive, clear-and-present-danger agenda is surpassed in transparency only by his ultra-leftist public voting record and overall lifetime conduct of consorting with the enemy as a child and student of Marxism, socialist and racist community organizer, congregant of the blatant America-hating black-theology- and social-justice-spewing Rev. Jeremiah Wright and close personal friend of convicted communist terrorists like Bill Ayers, and by his unflinching appointment of an array of communist czars, including Van Jones, Cass Sunstein, Anita Dunne, et al.

So let me get this straight: You claim your intentions were noble because you simply wanted to get your child a puppy but somehow didn't notice that it was foaming at the mouth, and now you're shocked that your child has rabies? I think not. That is not a mistake. It is negligence -- dangerous, life threatening and, I am convinced, downright criminal negligence.

And the price for such negligence is catastrophic, don't you know.

But it gets worse. For, you see, the blame doesn't fall just on the obvious stupidity of our friends and families who voted for this corrupt, death-wish government in whose stranglehold we find ourselves. Ultimately, it is our fault. It is the failure of those of us who know better but have failed miserably to educate our own. Living our lives with a captive audience of family, friends, co-workers, socialites, fellow worshippers at church and other parents at school -- everyone in our everyday walks of life -- far too many of us have allowed uneducated, history-devoid, denial-riddled, fantasy-driven, anti-gun and anti-hunting, anti-capitalism general ignoramuses to remain so and run amok, when by all thoughtful considerations, it was our duty to educate and upgrade everyone in our lives to truth, logic and the American way.

It is the terminal curse of apathy and disconnect that got us into this shameless mess we find America in today, and in all honesty, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
We all saw it coming, but political correctness caused most of us to clam up in the ridiculous mindset that it was more important to avoid hurting feelings than to stand up for what we knew in our hearts was being trampled underfoot. Sadly, America has become a nation of ultra-thin-skinned, whining little girls, afraid of our own shadows and so cowardly as to back away from the simple solution of speaking the truth when we know we are supposed to do so.

I have been damned as being a radical extremist my entire adult life for simply standing up and relentlessly promoting and celebrating self-evident truth, logic and common sense. The devil brigade acting upon the Saul Alinsky deception playbook has made its mark by lying, cheating and attacking with the very hate that it accuses everybody else of harboring. With an overall complicit media to bullhorn the brigade's agenda, a nation of sheep has taken the pill and swallowed it whole.

Welcome to the new fat, soft, cowardly nation of wimps with the perfectly corrupt president and pack of soulless hounds in government that they deserve.
Look at Harry Reid. Charlie Rangel. Listen to Nancy Pelosi. What kind of idiots do they represent? A huge army of idiots who wish to do nothing for their country, but whine for their government to do everything for them. Welcome to France, ladies and gentlemen, only worse.

There always have been bad, ignorant people in the world. But in the United States of America, land of the free and home of the brave, the epicenter of rugged individualism founded on the premise of live free or die, where the powerful DNA of defiance got us where we are as the last, best place on Earth, the ultimate violation is that so many hardworking, truly entrepreneurial, independent Americans backed down and failed to stand up when we saw the wimps squawking about all the wrong stuff.

Everything from the New Deal and Great Society on has been a dismal and grossly counterproductive failure, yet we continue to allow corrupt bureaucrats to keep jamming more of the same down our throats with barely a whimper of resistance.

How pathetic.

How lame.

How un-American.

The Tea Party is a better-late-than-never step in the right direction back to the glorious "we the people" experiment in self-government, but as far as I'm concerned, we haven't begun to turn up the heat nearly enough quite yet.

Each and every conservative and liberal American who knows that we cannot spend and tax our way out of debt, who knows that an exit strategy instead of a victory strategy is the same as surrender, who knows Fedzilla is criminal in its refusal to be accountable with our hard-earned tax dollars being blowtorched with unprecedented and insane wastefulness, that a federal government suing Arizona for simply implementing constitutional law is treasonous, and who fails to communicate this with everyone we know is actually complicit with this bizarre, fundamental transformation of the greatest country in the history of humankind.

What in God's good name are we thinking?

How much more of this can we possibly put up with?

Will we show true American fortitude to stop the beast at the voting booths in November and in every election in the future to make sure no more communists, no more Marxists, no more anti-American redistributors of wealth are allowed in positions of power ever again?

Can we outvote the pimps, whores and welfare brats?

Will we be smart enough to put every politician to the Pelosi-Obama litmus test?

We will be smart enough never to let a Mao Zedong fan club in the White House ever again?

Will we have learned our lesson that we the people have a daily, moral responsibility to be suspicious of everyone in government and the media and watchdog them properly from now on?

Will we finally never forget?

Will we finally say never again and mean it?

Will we finally use the incredible freedoms as provided by the sacrifices of our amazing warrior heroes of the U.S. military to be sure this insanity can never happen again?

Can we show at least that basic respect for the privilege of being American and how we got here?

It is not them, it is us.

Pogo was right."

Ted Nugent is an unstoppable American rock 'n' roll, sporting and political activist icon. He is author of "Ted, White & Blue: The Nugent Manifesto" and "God, Guns and Rock 'N' Roll" (Regnery Publishing).

[dyna mo]

he should stick to a guitar.

[Agent 488]

free republic and stormfront is over there.

[Amputate Your Head]

Fuck Ted Nugent.

[ottopottomouse]

Firstly, anybody calling him Barack Hussein Obama is generally about to spout nonsense.

Secondly, any chance of separating out the quote from your own opinion in a readable way?

[Adam X]

Blame it on the tubes. All from the man who wrote, Wang dang sweet poontang.

[dyna mo]

isn't he also a pedo?

[BlackCrayon]

sounds like he listens to a lot of rush and fox news. having an opinion is one thing but the way he talks reminds me of mccarthy.

Is that not his name?

Is that not the name he used to be sworn in as President?

Why do you have a problem with his name?

Sally.

[dig420]

Nugent's an only half-sane racist, nothing that isn't already well known.

Interesting facts about him: his whole career, he tried to pretend to his fans that he was the singer on all his albums instead of Derrick St. Holmes, he has a daughter he's never met because he refuses to see her, he tried to get legal guardianship of an underage chick because she was too young to legally marry and he wanted to keep fucking her. He's a chickenhawk who did meth and literally shit in his pants for a week to avoid going to Vietnam, it goes on and on.

Like nearly all tea party conservative types, he's a deeply strange and deficient individual in his personal life and a total hypocrite in his political life.

Sally.

Because it's inane and a not so hidden call to racism, and because the name is not the man. I'm pretty sure these concepts are way beyond your tea party mind however.

[AsianDivaGirlsWebDude]

Two crazy Ted's that have written a nutjob manifesto:

In 2006, an interviewer from the British newspaper The Independent questioned Nugent about a 1977 interview in High Times magazine in which Nugent allegedly detailed elaborate steps taken to avoid the Vietnam draft.

He has the rage, but he doesn't have the war record.

At 18, he was called up to serve in Vietnam. "In 1977 you gave an interview to High Times [the cannabis user's journal of record] where you claimed you defecated in your clothes to avoid the draft."

("I got 30 days' notice of the physical," Nugent told them. "I ceased cleansing my body. Two weeks before the test I stopped eating food with nutritional value. A week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. My pants got crusted up.")

"I never shit my pants to get out of the draft," says Nugent, good-naturedly.

"You also told them you took crystal meth [methamphetamine, the highly destabilising drug sometimes described as poor man's crack] before the medical - as a result of which, and I quote: 'I got this big juicy 4F.'"

"Unbelievable. Meth," he replies, in a tone of deep sarcasm. "Yes, that's my drug of choice. You've got to realise that these interviewers would arrive with glazed eyes and I would make stories up. I never did crystal meth. And I never pooped my pants."

"But you did dodge the draft."

"I had a 1Y [student deferment]. I enrolled at Oakland Community College."

"You said then that you wanted 'to teach the stupid bastards in the military a lesson'. I'd have thought you'd have loved the army. Guns. Travel. Danger."

"Back then, I didn't even understand what World War II was."

"So basically," - I admit that I have, unaccountably, started to speak Nugent - "you didn't want to get your Michigan ass blown off in Vietnam."

"Correct. I did not want to get my ass blown off in Vietnam."

"I know you do a lot of charity work for wounded veterans. Has it occurred to you that someone else may have died in Saigon because you didn't go?"

"Absolutely."

Nugent's name, as I am sure he's aware, appears, along with those of Cheney, Bush and many of their fellow Republicans, on a website called chickenhawks.net. It lists those who have evaded or abbreviated their own military service then, later in life, developed an appetite for war and machismo, either personally or by proxy.

"So has this made you..."

"Certainly. Because I failed to serve in Vietnam, I feel an obligation now, to do everything I can to support those defending our freedom. Do I feel guilt and embarrassment? Yes."

"You missed your calling."

"I wish I'd understood how important America's fight against our enemies was. But did I go to Fallujah two years ago? Damn right I did. And was I in Afghanistan, manning a 50-calibre machine gun in a Chinook - ready to rock? Yes. Was I there for years? No. A couple of weeks. But I am not a coward."

Can't speak for ottopottomouse, but I know I certainly have no problem with his name. I think President B. H. Obama's name will be carved in the history books for all eternity, having achieved the things he's achieved, which by the way include the highest office in the land and a Nobel Prize. The rest of us, including you, get to settle for having our names carved in GFY for all eternity (or until the database is deleted some day in the distant future) for our useless opinions on shit.

I don't have a problem with his name but the emphasis on Hussein shows that the writer is just trying to use it for a bit of subliminal association with Saddam Hussein to form the readers opinion without them having to read any of the article.

Obviously i'm just an idiot and you can find articles everywhere about George Herbert Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton and George Walker Bush.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................

Interesting.

Since the use of the full name of the current President is "racist", I'm wondering if you could shed some light on the hidden and subliminal meanings behind the uses of the following names, which were in common use at the times of the associated administrations?:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Harry S. Truman.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

William Howard Taft.

William Jefferson Clinton.

Dwight David Eisenhower.

James Earl Carter.

Just askin'!

In what way was the name "Hussein" "emphasized"? I saw no Italics, underlining, bold print or any other of the traditional methods normally used for emphasis of the printed word.

Whatup?

It was emphasised by being not how he is generally known. If everybody started calling you Sally Brainless Rand you'd notice that in the same way.

what's interesting is that you think the rantings of a chickenhawk nutjob like Ted Nugent are words to live by.

people obviously do this due to the negative connotations his middle name holds. this is so very obvious...

[bushwacker]

Ted Nugent, decent musician..i'll leave it at that.

[Vendzilla]

Barrack Obama
His name is also Barry Soetoro

Ted Nugent, love the guy, he speaks his mind, I see a lot of people judging him for his past, hey people can change right? Or don't we have that freedom anymore?


Meatloaf also sang for him if I remember right, saw him in concert in the mid 70's, again about 8 years ago, did the flaming arrow thing

As far as I know Ted Nugent is TOTALLY anti-drug (one of the few things I dislike about him)

I played in bands with Rob Ruzga from 1978 for ten years (Rob was the bassist for The Amboy Dukes and was on the album "Survival Of The Fittest" with Ted) and trust me...Ted Nugent didn't do any drugs.

He's a bit of an asshole about that as a matter of fact.

And I don't pay much attention to his political views. We are all entitled to having an opinion on stuff. And he does his research and came to his conclusions.

But I will say that he is a MONSTER guitar player of the highest caliber. And a guy who has busted his ass all his life.

On the ironic side...you probably don't care about my drivel because I HAVE put more drugs than an entire herd of lab rats in my body over the years.

i don't know how you could write 'journey to the center of the mind' and not be on drugs. that is such a stoner song.

Yeah, it always struck me that way too!

When I was a teenager growing up and playing guitar in my bands...the times were a LOT different and drug use was very socially acceptable.

We all thought it was super cool that our heroes did drugs (I still think that heh-heh)

And when I found out that Ted didn't do drugs...I was sort of disappointed. He went from being a "wildman" to sort of geeky to me. But I quickly forgave him when I had to learn the solo on Stranglehold in our band.

I was much more disappointed when my band was playing The Treehouse lounge in Hallandale, Fla. in 1984 And sitting up front watching us play was a big table with Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Quiet Riot.
The Treehouse was the favorite hangout for metal bands in Ft. Lauderdale back in the 1980s.

I was on break and went to the bathroom when Rob Halford came in and took the urinal next to me. He looked over at my dick and made a sexual comment about what he'd like to do!

I was SHOCKED! I spent the next decade trying to convince people that Rob Halford was gay. Nobody believed me until he finally came "out".

Now THAT was a bit of shock to the system! lol

Very well put. Obama had a long record of being a radical prior to his election. People just weren't paying attention and now are surprised by the result.

[AsianDivaGirlsWebDude]

Although his politics, and how he expresses them, I find reprehensible, I like a lot of Ted's music:



I too played in several bands growing up, and we played lots of Nuge...

We used to goof around during practice and play the music to Cat Scratch Fever, while singing the lyrics to his other songs (making fun of the fact that many of his songs during that period were quite similar)...I guess we were ahead of our time in doing mash-ups.



Only goes to prove that talent at one thing (guitar) does not necessarily translate into talent at other things (like eloquent civil discourse and rational thought).

You are enemies of America!

"Every American who smokes dope, manufactures, buys or sells meth or uses any illegal drugs is aiding and abetting the enemies of America. Case closed. This spiritual inbreeding and cannibalism must be identified, admitted to and stopped immediately. America can, and must do this."

Great story

I vaguely remember The tree House. I used to go to a big rock club in Hallandale that was just off the east side of 95 and you could see it from the exit ramp. Can't remember the name though. Also used to go to The Other Place in Miami for drink and sink night.

That whole stretch was an awesome place to party up until the cocaine cowboys took over.

As far as Ted Nugent goes, I learned more about him in this thread than I've known since I used to listen to his music on the eight track player in my first car. Those were some killer times.

You're talking about "The Button South" My band used to play there all the time too! That place held around 3,000 people.

2 metal bands per night. HUGE house lightshow and PA system. Big load in dock backstage where we would back our 24 foot truck up and our roadies would unload the stage gear. 2 big ass dressing rooms also backstage: one for each band and each equipped with a refrigerator and showers. The first band started at 11 p.m. played 3 sets and then the second band would start and play 3 sets. Between the two bands you played until 6 a.m.

That was a fucking GREAT nightclub! Before it was The Button South it was formerly an "Agora Ball Room" rock club. Then "Crazy Greg" who owned the original "Button On The Beach" on the strip in Lauderdale bought the building and turned it into The Button South.

Holy fuck I had some crazy times playing that gig.

Here's another quick rock "god" gay story. One night I'm playing at The Button South and the security guys came running up while I'm on break yelling at me to follow them...so we all go out the back, and Yngwie Malmsteen is sucking a guys cock in the bushes behind the club! LOL!

He had played in concert at The Button South earlier in the night. I couldn't believe it! Security made him stop and took him in the club to the manager Gary Downs and he got chewed out.

I could tell you guys a million stories from that club...including some very wild Greg Allman heroin stories...but I don't want to completely hijack the Ted Nugent thread. lol

That's it.

That was a great club. Awesome space for live bands to perform. My favorite part was all the ramps they had instead of stairs so you wouldn't be trippin.

As you pointed out they were one of the few clubs that stayed open past 2:30 or so and the crowd would peak around 1:30 and fade a bit until everyone came in from all the other closed clubs and it would get a second wind.

I would come over from the Gulf Coast just to party there and one night I got a motel room just down the street and went on a beer run and almost drove into that overtown riot

I don't want to derail the thread either but did you ever play Art Stocks Playpen in Ft. Lauderdale? it was half rock and half disco connected by two short hallways. I pulled more wang dang sweet potang outta there than any place else and never once got cat scratch fever.

[SallyRand]

As I suspected, although there are a number of posts in reply to this thread, NONE of the posts refute ANYTHING in Nugent's editorial!

Not a single one!

No one even tried!

There are however, twenty-one (21) Ad hominem attacks directed against Nugent or myself! Nothing, repeat, nothing in response to Nugent's opinion, save one or two posts in support!

There are of course a few posts which approach hijacking but that's OK; I hadn't expected much more. It should be remembered that the Ad Hominem attack is the last bastion of the so-c and therefore lashes out like a small child denied a cookie! I was a bit surprised at the venom expressed by the "liberals" in this thread, which I find rather odd as most of the people on this forum are hard-working independent businessmen and women, who I would have thought would have expressed just a bit more interest in the manner in which small business is being taxed, the individual is being taxed and the manner in which large business is being supported and even "bailed out" by the Obama administration but not a word.

Libertarians and conservatives THINK, while liberals "feel"; mostly around in the dark IMHO but that is another story for another day.

Who wants to bother to read more than 1 sentence (on accident) of anything a pedophile, draft-dodging schizophrenic nutjob like Nugent has to say about politics?

Further, why do conservatives" always side with these freaks who want to take away even more of your rights, unlike the libertarian party. It was your guy Bushie that pushed for that massive trillion dollar stimulus package, went easy on the illegals almost the point of amnesty (like Reagan), are anti-marijuana, gave the Federal Reserve a blank check with no oversight, actually put in the legislation to make sure no one could find out what they were doing, etc...
