"I really don't care. THey're both nut job musicians. ONe just happens to be pro hunting and very good at it, but he's still a loon. If he wants to go to africa and criticize these socialist popstars like bono, I won't complain but I'm not going to pretend like he's a hero for it either."
I'm not pretending and you are clueless. Nuge is right about 99% of what he says; he articulates it intelligently, he's a conservative activist, a drugless role model and he LIVES BY HIS WORDS! The ONLY thing he has in common with Bono is that he makes music and breathes oxygen.
Watch Ted Nugent tonight on the O'Reilly Factor as he takes apart Ozzy Osborne's self-indulgence and moronic ramblings and then come back and tell us that Ted's a "nut job". If you've got a problem with musicians, that's your problem - what do you do for a living btw?
Nugent is as CONSERVATIVE as humans come and imho, he is a hero of mine; he's giving it back to the whining socialists like Bonehead and very likely he's done more for the conservative movement than many of us posting here.
Listen while I testify! In the early 80's Ted was instrumental in converting me from a lame-ass thumb-sucking liberal that did as I was told as long as I was stoned, into a free-thinking drug-free individual that found the truth! He's long been Limbaugh's pal and a frequent guest on his show and I'll dare say there are many others just like me that took a tip from Ted. Rather than name-call, you should be thanking Nugent for all he's done for our conservative cause.
It doesn't get anymore grass roots than teaching people to hunt, imho. You can bet that's not all he taught them either. I recently read here at FR that Ted gives deer meat to homeless shelters and I watched him in Damn Yankees as he fired flaming arrows into the heart of a Saddam Hussein effigy. Imho, you've got no right calling Ted Nugent a nut job! (Calling him the "Motor City Madman™" is okay.)
Ted Nugent is anything but a "loon".
Let's put it this way: I'm just to the right of Godzilla, but I've also followed Ted's career since the late '60's. He's one hell of a Conservative with a deserved capital "C". He has never done drugs........has never taken a drink of alcohol........has never so much as smoked a cigarette. He's been an auxiliary Sheriff in his county in Michigan for well over 20 years. He's a staunch defender of the Constitution; especially 2nd Amendment rights.
All of this while wildly succeeding in the hedonistic, ultra-left, destructive world of Big-Time Rock 'n' Roll.
The man's no saint, to be sure, and he has never claimed perfection............but he'd be welcome in MY home any time, any day, and I'd know that I had a houseguest who is polite, knowledgeable, intelligent (yep.....they ARE different qualities), one hell of an outdoorsman, self-sufficient, anti-Big Government, a lover of freedom, staunch conservationist (RESPONSIBLE conservation)....................and a kick-ass guitar slinger.
