Nugent thing ya might have missed

We all know that Ted Nugent marches to the beat of a different drummer. The ol' boy have got a heap of common sense tho. A friend sent me this and I just wanted to pass it along in case some of you missed it. Written by Ted Nugent, the rock singer and hunter/naturalists, upon hearing that California Senators Barbara Boxer and DianeFeinstein 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!! 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 mid-level 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, gov't 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 atm 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 thedocument 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.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! Ted Nugent- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -You got to admit, he says a lot of things we are all thinking.

    Well... I liked it all except for the cop shooting someone running away who does not understand English is ok.And I agree that if you come to this country, you should learn to speak english(for your own good), but I hardly think it should be mandatory.

    American history, should be compulsive for anyone wanting to join the ranks of citizenry.It's not enough for immigrants to know hat George Washington was the 1st president, and that George W Bush is the present President.One must understand our countries beginings to appreaciate the foundation laid for this great nation.People that come from other countries are looking for a better life, but unless they can begin to comprehend the difference between this country and the one they left, they waill have a distorted view of why this country works the they way it does.English and the speaking of it, is one of the things that keeps us united.Bi lingual education is what prevents some (young people) from achieveing there true potential, in order to enter the business community as an adult, one should be able to communicate, without sounding vulgar speaking in the vernacular, (that includes Ebonics) and be able to feel out employment applications proficiently, and the minimal be able to read in the english language.The mothers and fathers of these (young people) can be excused, but there is no excuse for the next generation of immigrants to not speak, read, write the National language proficiently, after all thats the reason why we (those of us that are no longer raising children, and do not really get any benefits from school taxes) pay for all to get a free education.my 2 pennies worth.

    Actually, this was posted before, and someone said The Nuge didn't write it. Tho he did agree with pretty much all of it...
    I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.--Voltare

    Sounds like something George Carlin said. I'm ALMOST sure of it. Still gotta love the Nuge.
    If you run, you'll just die tired!
