Ted Nugent: Liberalism is America's curse

Obama pulls out his smoke and mirrors for "change," when in fact he wants more of the very meddling government that has ruined everything it has gotten its greedy, unaccountable hands on.

Ted Nugent is a patriot. God Bless Ted Nugent.

[Senator Goldwater]

I love the Motor City Madman.

Nice to see a patriot emerge from the rock and roll business, for a change.

[jackv]

woohoo!! Well said, Ted!! I love this guy! And I bet he is a big fan of Palin!!

[Ukiapah Heep]

A pretty good guy, for a resident of that state up there.

[roaddog727]

Ted Get’s it bump!

[Abathar]

I have no doubt that Ted was a giddy as a school girl when McCain announced her as his running mate.

[mlocher]

A pretty good guy, for a resident of that state up there.

Does Ted still live in Michigan? I figured he moved to LA where they have winning college football teams.

[Dust in the Wind]

Didn’t Ted move to Texas?

[autumnraine]

I think he lives up the road from President Bush in Texas. He did when he had his “Surviving Ted” series.

[Be_Politically_Erect]

I think the Nuge has a spread in Texas.

[LA Woman3]

Ted lives in China Spring, Texas. (Outside of Waco).

It’s not just the hedonism,

but the removal of “anti-hedonism”,

kicking God out of the public discourse, removing discussion of morals from schools, etc.

The wicked don’t want to be reminded of their sin, and will viciously attack anything that reminds them of it.

Ted may be a patriot, but I absolutely LOL when I read a quote from Ted “The 1960s marked the rise of hedonism — the “if it feels good, do it” generation.”.

A cursory glance at the lyrics Ted sang then and now would reflect the fact that he has made a ton of money singing about ‘if it feels good, do it’. Wango Tango leaps immediately to mind.

What’s next? The surviving members of the Grateful Dead decrying how psychedelic the 60’s were?

people change

people change

I think we can give the children of the 60s a little bit of a pass. Yes, they should have learned their lessons from history, but given American exceptionalism and the boom economy after the war, I think I can forgive them for thinking maybe, just maybe, some of the ideas might have worked. In fact, one could argue that if the ideas didn't work then - at that time and that place - then they won't work anywhere ever.

But, here we are 40 years later. There's no denying the ramifications of their policies. Anyone with the slightest bit of historical knowledge and objectivity would have to jettison those failed policies. The people who are still pushing for them today have another agenda, and it has nothing to do with good intentions.

Have you seen a recent setlist of Ted’s? Where’s the change you talk about?

[Squawk 8888]

According to the footer in the article, Nuge lives in Waco.

[mquinn]

If the Nuge had one vice, it was sex, sure. But on every other point and issue, he was as far removed from the hippy/leftist counterculture of his rock brethren as can be. No drugs, no tolerance for homosexuality, no communal hippy vegan lifestyles, etc...

And he’s repented, as far as I can see, doesn’t flaunt it or glorify his past promiscuity. Ted’s grown up and said “here’s what I did, I admit it, I am responsible”. Personal responsibility for one’s own actions is anathema to leftists.

So, I think the Grateful Dead analogy is rather unfair, honestly.
