I went to see Ted Nugent play tonight, and Although the musical element of the show was a winner, I could have done without his FOX news running commentary.

At least I came out of it with a joke.

"How many beers does it take to make a redneck conservative anti-government 'god-and-my-own'-twisted-view-of-the-constitution' gun-nut relax?"

"One more than it takes to render them unconscious"

That man should be sealed in a vat of his own bile and fired into the sun.

But the problem with him is that there is no bile. He's sickeningly happy with his particular brand of insanity. Besides which, the Sun has its own problems lately, it doesn't need that particular flavor of heartburn. But yeah, he's not the rock god he once was.

Sun was diagnosted with losing too much hydrogen and when it starts burning helium, it will only have a few million years left to live before it starts exploding in giant red spasms.

Where did you read that?

AFAIK the sun is about halfway through its main sequence so it should have billions of years of life left.

Nugent is from my home town. He's really a mixed bag. He used to do benefit concerts and stuff for the local school district and does a lot to support local businesses, especially those that are outdoors-oriented. On the other hand, he also wanted to boycott Canada for not letting him hunt bear there one season.

He makes life interesting, I'll give you that.

Nugent for President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The scary thing is, Fate - you'd really fething vote for him, wouldn't you?


WOULD'NT YOU?!!?

Fateweaver would vote for a lump of coal... if only it wasn't black.

rofl. No idea who Ted Nugent is but ^ that's funny.

I dunno, I might vote for Ted Nugent. I wouldn't do it because I think he'd be a good President, I just think it might upset the balance they have in DC, force them to stop doing things in their crappy old ways. Of course, more likely they'd just stonewall him for 4 years and get back to business as usual.

I find it funny how everyone is disgusted with Ted Nugent, but nobody complains when Lady Gaga whines about Arizona, and every other person in Hollywood has some left leaning agenda item in their show.

I think it's all a bit ridiculous. A concert is for music. Do the music and shut up. If you want to have a political opinion, do that in another venue.

Whoa whoa whoa, Id vote for Ted Nugent, for Governor. I personally cant stand the current one, and the previous one sucked even more. I think Ted could do some good for my state. But thats another argument all together

People hate Ted Nugent because he isn't a liberal.

I'd vote for him Alba, just to shake things up in the WH. I voted for Jesse Ventura for Governor and he was the best one we've had since this state came into being.

Nice attempt at profiling me as racist MGS. I'd vote for a lump of coal before I voted for you, that's for sure. At least a lump of coal wouldn't poison the people of the USA with liberal agenda.

Also, TN would make sure any bill for gun control ended up in the WH trash can. That gets my vote alone.

Im sorry, is Ted Nugent not allowed to have opinions?

Would you be complaining if you heard Uncle Ted yelling about liberal issues? I doubt it.

Liberal brainwashing of the US is funny? Umm, erm. That's scary.

We'll see who's laughing come midterms this fall and again in 2012. It sure as sure won't be the liberal side of the fence.

I think the big issue with doing it in a different venue is that music has always been a political platform and always will be. How many of the people that pan Ted Nugent for his political views ate up the most recent Greenday albums?

I don't neccessarily agree with everything Ted stands for,but I do have to give him credit for taking a stand and not compromising on it. Everybody knows what Ted's politics are. People should just enjoy the music. If his politics bug you that badly,then don't support him by buying his albums and tickets to see him.

Fateweaver wrote:Liberal brainwashing of the US is funny? Umm, erm. That's scary.

You know, I've been wondering for a while, but this comment really has me believing fateweaver is just doing this for laughs. That is just too ridiculous.

Really? Most liberals I know are SOOOO convinced that Muslims have no interest in being the dominant religion in America; that terrorists of ANY nation deserve to be treated as US citizens; that illegal immigrants are actually GOOD for this country and it's economy; that capitalism is evil and that they are helping out minorities by taking all incentive away from them to work hard because "big daddy" will take care of them via the multitude of social programs that encourage, not discourage, minorities to blame whitey and leech off the system.

It's only ridiculous to the liberal minded person because they think their "world view" is the RIGHT world view. I apparently have no world view because I'm an uneducated, redneck conservative. I guess the news channels lie about how bad the problem with illegals in AZ really is so AZ must be wrong and that we should just keep allowing illegals to come into this country.

I guess the "Muslim extremists" that blow up buildings and kill thousands are bastardizing the Quran for their own ends and means but Christians who blow up abortion clinics are following the Bible as Jesus preached it so that apparently Christians are worst than Muslims and more violent?

Progression via allowing gay marriage is right and that conservatives or anyone else wanting it to be banned are uneducated, homophobic hate-mongers.

Oh, gotta love that conservatives are racist because we didn't vote for Barack "Hussein" Obama. If I'm a racist, uneducated redneck than perhaps I should tell my black friend, my native american friends and the few hispanic friends I have that I really don't like them because they aren't white and that they should go back to where they came from and stay there.

Ha.

You go on thinking your world view is the right view. In 2012 that view will be shown to be the "wrong" view and hopefully some people will open their eyes to the truth (and the truth is not what Pelosi or Obama or Reid declare it to be).

Hey, this reminds me of a joke.

Q: How many liberal fascists does it take to demonize someone for having a differing belief?

A: All you need is one, the rest will blindly follow without question.

Liberal...fascists? Could someone explain the extension of this term to me? Do you mean liberals that advocate authoritarian gov't or just fascists that are in favour of personal liberty?

Nurglitch wrote:Liberal...fascists? Could someone explain the extension of this term to me? Do you mean liberals that advocate authoritarian gov't or just fascists that are in favour of personal liberty?

Liberal fascists believe in the fascism of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" it's almost a nutruring fascism where the citizenry is mothered to every end by the government and has no need to have any kind of initiative to do anything outside the norm. No concept of self-reliance, independence or freedom. They just become a ward of the state until they die.

Unlike Orwell's "1984" where it's angry, militant fascism and you are being repressed on every level. Everything you do is strictly regimented, you cannot speak or act out of line without fear of reprisal.

So, yes they believe in a form of authoritarian government, but a "happy fascism". It's just another attempt at Utopia that will probably lead to people dying becuase of someone's misguyided attempt at creating heaven on Earth, AGAIN! I don't think people have learned enough from the 20th Century to realize this wont work.

Just for the record, I'm equally against the Left-wing-political-correctness-or-die nanny state hippies and the right-wing-military-industrial-complex jesus-facists. I believe everybody should be free to do anything they want as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else, your deity of choice needs to mind its own fething business and nobody cares that your kid is an honor roll student. You're not smarter or cooler than anybody else just because you know the latest political propaganda buzzwords. I'm also more than a little irritated that Megadeth's latest record is so obviously political, because it's also their best work in almost twenty years. And by the way, Green Day are poseurs and everybody knows it!!!!!!!!

Stormrider:

So liberal fascists are the anti-freedom liberals, right?

Nurglitch wrote:Liberal...fascists? Could someone explain the extension of this term to me? Do you mean liberals that advocate authoritarian gov't or just fascists that are in favour of personal liberty?

As in those who identify themselves as liberal but constantly advocate for a suppression of the opposing party or for a single party system and strong central authority as long as their party is the one in charge. One whom claims to be tolerant while advocating the forcible suppression of opposing points of view.

Yes, there is more to the definition of the term fascist than just "suppressing the opposition", but there is enough commonality in the behavior exhibited to use the term.
