A MUST READ!!! Ted Nugent Speaks from the heart

[velvetgoldmire]

This was written by Ted Nugent, the rock singer and hunter/naturalists, upon hearing that California Senators B. Boxer and D. Feinstein denounced him for being a "gun owner" and a "Rock Star". This was his response after telling the senators about his past contributions to children's charities and scholarship foundations which have totaled more than $13.7 million in the last 5 years!! Whether you agree with what Ted Nugent has to say or not, he has every right too. Read his response. It speaks volumes:

I'm a Bad American_ - this pretty much sums it up for me._ I like big

trucks, big boats, big houses, and naturally, pretty women. I believe

the

money I make belongs to me and my family, not some midlevel governmental

functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack

addicts

squirting out babies. I don't care about appearing compassionate.

I think playing with toy guns doesn't make you a killer._ I believe

ignoring

your kids and giving them Prozac might. I think I'm doing better than

the

homeless.

I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized._ I have

the

right not to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird or

make

me mad.

This is my life to live, and not necessarily up to others expectations._

I

know what SEX is and there are not varying degrees of it._ I don't

celebrate

Kwanzaa._ But if you want to that's fine; I just don't feel like

everyone

else should have to.

I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy Queen shake, a pack of

cigarettes, or hotel room you do it in English._ As of matter of fact,

if

you are an American citizen you should speak English._ My uncles and

forefathers shouldn't have had to die in vain so you can leave the

countries

you

were born in to come disrespect ours, and make us bend to your will._

Get

over it!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry butt if you're

running

from them after they tell you to stop._ If you can't understand the word

'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the previous line._ I don't use the

excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular opinions or

actions.

I know how to count votes and I feel much safer letting a machine with

no

political affiliation do a recount when needed._ I know what the

definition

of lying is, and it isn't based on the word "is"-ever.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you

qualify

for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans, etc., so

you

can open a hotel, 7-Eleven, trinket shop, or any thing else, while the

indigenous peoples can't get past a high school education because they

can't

afford it.

I didn't take the initiative in inventing the Internet._ I thought the

Taco

Bell dog was funny.

I want them to bring back safe and sane fireworks.

I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or

Marilyn Manson sang, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to that crap

from someone else's car when I'm stopped at a red light._ But I respect

your

right to.

I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment

than

working at Blockbuster or Jack In The Box.

I don't want to eat or drink anything with the words light, lite or

fat-free

on the package.

Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives in

vain

and defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell me it's a

living document ever changing and is open to interpretation._ The guys

who

wrote it were light years ahead of anyone today, and they meant what

they

said - now leave the document alone, or there's going to be trouble.

I don't hate the rich._ I help the poor._ I know wrestling is fake. I've

never owned, or was a slave, and a large percentage of our forefathers

weren't wealthy enough to own one either._ Please stop blaming me

because

some prior white people were idiots - and remember, tons of white,

Indian,

Chinese, and other races have been enslaved too - it was wrong for every

one

of them. Get over it

I believe a self-righteous liberal Democrat with a cause is more

dangerous

than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.

I want to know exactly which church is it where the "Reverend" Jessie

Jackson preaches; and, what exactly is his job function. I own a gun,

you

can own a gun, and any red blooded American should be allowed to own a

gun,

but if you use it in a crime, then you will serve the time.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and

continue

to make more._ If it makes you mad, then invent the next operating

system

that's better and put your name on the building._ Ask your buddy that

invented the Internet to help you.

I don't believe in hate crime legislation._ Even suggesting it makes me

mad.

You're telling me that someone who is a minority, gay, disabled, another

nationality, or otherwise different from the mainstream of this country

has

more value as a human being that I do as a white male._ If someone kills

anyone, I'd say that it's a hate crime._ We don't need more laws!_ Let's

enforce the ones we already have.

I think turkey bacon, turkey beef, turkey fake anything sucks._ I

believe

that it doesn't take a village to raise a child-it takes a parent with

the

guts to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say "NO!" when it's

necessary to do so. I'll admit that the only movie that ever made me cry

was

Ole Yeller._ I didn't realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I had a kid.

I will not be frowned upon or be looked down upon or be made to keep

silent

because I have these beliefs and opinions._ I thought this country

allowed

me that right._ I will not conform or compromise just to keep from

hurting

somebody's feelings._ I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter

how

desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe

otherwise.

Yes, I guess by some people's definition, I may be a bad American.

But that's tough.

[sassa]

I love Jack in the Box, too bad they don't have them in the East Coast...

[velvetgoldmire]

They do! When I went to school at Hofstra (Long Island, NY) I remember that there was a Jack in the Box... at least I think I remember. Those days are kind of hazy.

[sassa]

i know checkers, which i've seen only in the fresno area in cali, but not jack in the box...hmmm.....their commercials suck ass though

[tribal]

Ted Nugent is classic! one of the few guys i genuinly respect. he means what he says, and says exactly what he means. Democrats must hate this guy though

[mfiorellino]

Can't say I'm a big fan of Ted Nugent's music but I do agree with most of what he says. Keep on rocking, Ted Nugent!
