We like Ted Nugent. Besides being an incredible guitarist, entertainer, sportsman, and conservationist, he is a true patriot. Like most Americans, Ted loves this country and is deeply angered by what is going on, and he ain’t pulling any punches!
Appearing on Your World With Neil Cavuto, Ted discusses the communists who have wrested power from the people and usurped the Constitution as part of their ongoing coup d’état against the American people and the Republic.

I, too, went looking online for “Ted Nugent atheist” I read several blogs that called him that but never found anything from his own mouth. Had to shut down amid the search due to a virus at one site that tried to attack. I would like to know where he stands. If he was once a non-believer, he may have been saved after making regrettable statements in the past.
Ted Nugent is an athiest? That’s news to me. He used to have his own radio show in Detroit and it seems he talked about God & the Bible quite a lot. Then again that was a decade ago.
“God gave us the gift of life. It is the most precious gift ever. To be unarmed is to be helpless to protect that gift; that is outright irresponsible.” —Ted Nugent
NUGE!!!!!
As I say, I didn’t see any site names pop out that I wanted to travel to, but I will get into the interview later. He may have changed. Or backed down on his stance.
By voting out the communist who are in power now and the conservatives we vote in will either do away with the bureaus or castrate them and limit their power severely.
God Bless Uncle Ted!

Personal Quotes
You’ve got to kill it, before you grill it
Basically, I’m just an erector set looking for some volts.
(on Muzak) “It’s an evil force in today’s society, causing people to lapse into uncontrollable fits of blandness. It’s been responsible for ruining some of the best minds of our generation.”
Our failure has been not to Nagasaki them. (On Iraq)
I visited Saddam Hussein’s master war room. It was a glorious moment. It looked like something out of Star Wars (1977). I saw his gold toilet. I shit in his bidet.
They’re only interested in three things: the best place to eat, having sex and how quickly they can run away. Much like the French. (On deer)
I say that I want the rape victim to shoot the rapist. All good people want rape to stop.
My confidence level is insane. If there is one thing I am, it’s always right. I consider myself a true liberal. I am armed in order to stop good people being destroyed by bad people. Liberalism is assisting quality of life, whatever you may choose. I think that homosexuality is wrong. I think that people who drink, smoke and take drugs are doing wrong. But I’ll tell you how I judge people. The people that ran up those burning towers on September 11 were my heroes. And among those warriors who ran back to save their fellow human beings, you know what there were? Homosexuals. Smokers. Drinkers. People I wouldn’t agree with on numerous conduct levels. I judge people on this: are they in the asset column, or the liability column?
I think you should ride the line between fatigue and chaos. The chaos keeps the energy level and spontaneity maximized, while fatigue is just over the edge, and you should try to avoid it.
I don’t pay to have my dirty work done for me. I do it myself.

By Ted Nugent, Texas Wildman
Gather ‘round, boys and girls, and listen closely. What I am about to tell you will help you immensely throughout the rest of your lives if you commit to practicing and living your Uncle Ted’s proven modus operandi for quality of life.
You won’t get this ironclad and loving advice in a classroom or from a textbook. Sadly, some of you will not have received this advice from even your parents. Here goes:
* Nobody owes you a thing. Nothing. Everything you will get out of life will only be based on what you put into it. Period.
The only free lunches are at the homeless shelter. If you want to dance, you have to pay the band.
If you work real hard at your favorite craft, you ultimately will succeed. A work ethic is the path to a rewarding life.
If you are paid a dollar, give your employer $10 worth of effort in return. Doing so will ensure you will always be gainfully employed.
If you are lazy, expect to be fired over and over again, no matter how smart or gifted you are.
* Find your passion, something you crave. Set a goal and never quit. Always push yourself harder. Walk through or over anyone who dares to tell you that you can’t do something.
Avoid negative people. Surround yourself with positive people who will mentor, help and guide you honestly.
* Never miss an opportunity to say thank you to the men and women in our military and law enforcement. They are the defenders of freedom and are putting their lives on the line for you to reach your American Dream.
* Don’t wait for someone else to motivate you. The best person for that job is you. Do it often.
* You will be tested constantly. Life is going to knock you down over and over again. The only person who is ever defeated is the person who gets floored with one of life’s massive upper cuts and fails to get back up. Be tough and tenacious. It feels good.
* Never do anything just for money. Do what you do exceedingly well and thoroughly enjoy, and money will come looking for you.
* If you want to know how others perceive you, look around at who you associate with.
* In the end, all you have is your character and integrity. Do not ever compromise or sell them.
No one trusts a liar, most of all other liars.
* Do not complain. Any soulless whiner can do that. Instead, look for solutions to tough problems. This will earn you the respect of your boss.
* Do not be afraid to take chances and blaze new trails. Get in the arena where the dust is swirling and blood, sweat and tears pour forth. That is where the action is. Do not miss out.
* Engage life with unbridled passion. March to the beat of making your own statement. Those who follow trends and conform to peer pressure are mindless sheep and never happy.
* Be intelligently defiant. Defiance is the very spirit that gave birth to this country when our forefathers declared independence and fired the “shot heard round the world.”
* Remember Rosa Parks. Be prepared to defy stupidity wherever you find it. It is your duty and responsibility as an American to let your voice be heard. Stand up against idiotic, illogical laws and restrictions. Raise hell. Vote smart.
* If you have not made a few well deserving idiots angry by the time you are 25, get busy. We live in a target rich environment of liberal denial. Drive idiots loony. It is much fun, quite easy and is still legal in all 50 states.
* Stand up for what you believe in. Remain polite and courteous, but never back down.
* You have an obligation to leave America in better shape than when you arrived. Work to ensure that future generations have a better shot at the American Dream, more freedom, more liberty and more pursuits of happiness than what you did.
* Trust your gut feelings. They will not steer your wrong. Only trust people who have earned your trust. Never trust the French.
* Take the time each day to show love and affection for your family and loved ones. The smallest gesture goes straight to the heart. A good life is maximized when shared with the ones you love.
* Don’t keep discomforting things and thoughts bunched up inside. The only way to resolve conflicts is to tackle them right way without inhibitions. Don’t worry about hurting feelings. Everyone benefits from open, honest discussions. There are no stupid questions.
* Aim small, miss small.
Have fun. Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Ted Nugent is a Waco-based musician and television show host. Contact him directly at tednugent.com.
Allan Vorda: Perhaps you can expand on that point. In a late 1987 interview that appeared in Ducks Unlimited you stated: "Life is finite. I want to comprehend and absorb every inch of the journey."
Ted Nugent: You are born and you die. You want to get in as many licks as you can. You want to make as many friends as you can. You want to do all the things to put smiles on your face. You want to share as many experiences as you can. You should get away with as little sleep as possible.
AV: What about the points on the other side? Do you you believe in anything else after this life?
TN: No. You become worm meat. I'd like my son to use my body for bear bait. Kill a big old black bear when he comes in to eat my bones. (p.10 Psychedelic Psounds, 1994)
Well that was 23 years ago. In 2000 he published a book of essays titled God, Guns and Rock-N-Roll. So maybe he found GOD. Or GOD found him.
Uncle Ted for Prez!!!
You gotta love Uncle Ted!
