Ted Nugent: Billie Joe Armstrong has “lost his soul” with Roe v. Wade stance
Far Out Magazine ^ | FRI 1ST JUL 2022 | Jordan Potter

Following Billie Joe Armstrong’s recent outcry, Ted Nugent has said the Green Day frontman has “lost his soul”. During a recent show in London, the pop-punk icon asserted that he would be “renouncing” his US citizenship over the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Armstrong is among a wealth of musicians who have come forward to condemn the recent reversal of the landmark 1973 ruling that protects women’s right to safely terminate a pregnancy in the US.

Thus, for the first time in nearly five decades, abortion will no longer be protected as a federal right in America. Each state will be able to decide individually whether to restrict abortion or ban it altogether.

“Fuck America. I’m fucking renouncing my citizenship. I’m fucking coming here,” Armstrong said while on stage at London Stadium as part of the Hella Mega Tour, in which Green Day were joined by Fall Out Boy and Weezer.

“There’s just too much fucking stupid in the world to go back to that miserable fucking excuse for a country,” he said. “Oh, I’m not kidding, you’re going to get a lot of me in the coming days.”

While talking on the latest edition of his news commentary series The Nightly Nuge, controversial US singer-songwriter and activist Nugent told his viewers that “the Supreme Court did a good job”.

“The Nancy Pelosis and the left, and the maniacs don’t seem to be for choice; they seem to literally be for killing babies,” he explained. “They’re just crazy… the protestors and the left are saying to people who have a T-shirt that says, ‘My mom didn’t abort me and I’m celebrating my life today’. And people on the other side went, ‘Well your mother should’ve killed you!’. This is a debate? This is a meaningful dialogue… on what toxic planet?”

He continued: “When the left keeps saying that, ‘We lost our constitutional right to an abortion’, share that phrase in the Constitution with me where it gives you the right to kill the unborn… My point being, it isn’t mentioned in the Constitution, so I’m gonna repeat once again, ‘Any rights herein not enumerated are left up to the States’.”

“Clearly, the abortion issue, like any other issue, idea or hunch that is not enumerated in the Constitution or the Bill Of Rights, clearly is up to the states. Even a guitar player doesn’t need any translator for that one. So once again, it is the hysteria”.

Nugent continued talking about the “cruelty” of some of the left-leaning artists who have spoken out. “I’ve witnessed some artists out there, like Billie [Joe] Armstrong of Green Day – he’s incredibly talented, but he’s just lost his soul – and Pink, an incredibly talented, work-ethic artist, who just scream and just attack people who choose not to have an abortion.”

Nugent added: “By the way, as you and I speak right now, if anybody wants an abortion in America, guess what – they can get one. It’s not the banning of abortions; it’s bringing it back to constitutionality and common sense. And again, there are medical concerns… Can you imagine, trying to make the decision where you have a choice to save the mother or the baby? Well, that is a spiritual moment between you and God and your health professional and the husband and the wife or at least the mother and the father.”

“So, I am, and my family believes in, abortion should be legal, it should be safe and it should be rare. But don’t send me the bill because I don’t subscribe to murdering this innocent baby who the science has proven that it feels the pain when you kill it in the womb.”

“This issue is just volatile. So the Supreme Court did a good job.”

I'll setup the gofundme account for this drama queen's paperwork and one-way ticket.

And I bet he leaves just like Cher et al left the USA after Trump won in 2016.

Green Day sucks anyway. You want punk, listen to The Undead.

I would love to see the list of actual celebrities who either swore they would leave the US when DJTrump was elected or now because of RvW.
A bunch of pontificating nobodies who never mean what they say.
If you declare something and don’t do it, you might as well be an actor — a profession of paid liars (they say on stage what is not true of them).
Bugger all of ‘em.

“it’s bringing it back to constitutionality and common sense”

And THAT’S where the liberal mind short circuits right there.

Those two things are just not programmed into their little one way minds.

Don’t bother, that little America hating ingrate could buy and sell you and me both ten times over.....which make it even more galling.

"the maniacs don’t seem to be for choice; they seem to literally be for killing babies"

Very to the point. "Choice" is just a lie used to disguise what they really want to do.

A leftest can curse out this country and renounce his citizenship, but this writer deems Nugent “controversial”???? No, no bias here.

“Fuck America. I’m fucking renouncing my citizenship. I’m fucking coming here,” Armstrong said ....

Well, now you know he's serious. He's employed a word that's only used when the most extreme emphasis is required. Something you rarely hear nowadays. I'm shocked, but impressed.

Murdering blacks, jews, and baues should be safe.

Lynching and raping and heck, drawing and quartering/partial birth. Should be safe.

Too much art ted, not enough soul. Great White Buffalo my butt..

The irony is, I believe, Britains abortion restrictions are stricter than most US states.

Same for France and Germany.

Someone should remind Willie Joe that the proper way to renounce his US citizenship is to go to a US embassy, state and provide in writing his renunciation of his citizenship before a consular officer, and to turn in his passport.

Doing so will prevent him from entering the US and from “changing his mind” while running his mouth.
