    Ted Nugent Says Obama Represents 'Tyranny and Slavery'

    Things are going well for Ted Nugent. He just released a DVD of his 6000th concert, he has a new reality show coming out next month and he has the satisfaction of knowing of being able to say "I told you so" to anyone who's doubted his political opinions. "Life is wonderful," he tells Spinner. I've done the right things. I've never been liberal so I've got a nest egg. I've always lived within my means."

    These days, you can see, hear or read Nugent's thoughts on politics and the country everywhere you go. "If I try to make my voice heard any more than I already have, you would have been Nugified with a giant crowbar skull marking," he says. "I have pieces in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Detroit news and WacoTrib.com. I've been doing speaking engagements at universities and public events for a couple dozen years now. I've been an activist forever. I've been warning people that this is coming. I wrote the first article identifying the artificial economy of America that is the house of cards we're seeing fall now. I think I first wrote that in the late '80s."

    But just because Uncle Ted is being heard doesn't mean he's happy with what he sees. "With a liberal in the White House, it's sad to see the celebration of mediocrity and slovenliness and the cult of denial expand," he says. "That's heartbreaking to see this once-great nation abandon the drive of excellence and the new squawking mantra of whining and excuse-making, which is why we have the president we have, and for him and his administration to defy the Constitution and Fedzilla exploding into the private sector and controlling corporations, it's shocking."

    Still, Nugent holds out hope for the country. "I believe that we the people will eventually see the criminality of the Obama administration and eventually stop them one way or another, so I have eternal faith in my fellow man," he says. "I can't believe this experiment in self-government is over. I can't believe the documents our founding fathers clearly articulated and wrote are going to be abandoned for tyranny and slavery, and that's really what Obama represents. He represents that 'you people are so stupid and inept, I'll have to cover you.' I just don't believe that's true."

    However, Nugent also thinks that plenty of Americans are to blame as well. "There is gluttony and denial in our economy," he starts, his voice rising throughout. "Basically, it can be most simply understood by the U.S. government and its citizens being credit card pigs. You can't buy another leather jacket when you've already got six. You claim you can't make ends meet and you owe five grand, much less 250 grand, on your credit card, you chimp!? Of course, I'm the bastard for saying it. People are pigs from the blubber that they have intentionally infested ourselves with and then they have the audacity to squawk for health care but not care about our health? How does that work?! If the producers of 'Planet of the Apes' were offered the current American script that was playing out before us, they would turn it down because it's too stupid. It wouldn't qualify for a 'Planet of the Apes' script!

    "Only the guilty need to feel guilty," he continues, "but anybody who claims they can't make ends meet is a liar! Anybody that owes money on their credit card is a pig. If you smoke or drink or have blubber, you get no healthcare until you show me you care about your health. You can't stab yourself in the eye every morning and then charge me for your eye doctor! What the f---?!"

    Well, there you have it, ladies and gentleman -- you've been Nugified.

    Mr. Nugent has the right attitude. We are entitled to speak freely. Agree with some or none of his opinion it is our RIGHT to be able to. Just as it is our RIGHT to BEAR ARMS if you feel it necessary. OBAMACARE get ready to PAY BIG TIME for those who DO NOT deserve it. They did not earn it. WELCOME$$$$ to being a slave to the beast we call Government. No choice this is how it will be subserviants :-)!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, to each his own w/the word liberal (states more about the person/people stating it than it does about the one being called such), but Obama is in his position for a good reason and it's not an accident!

    America's historical treatment of blacks, and its residual damage (created by 'non liberal' relevant thinkers like 'you' -- Cough!) must be separated, now, from simple-minded and very irrelvant whites living today like you; not coughing!)just as Obama has appeared to have said of late, by Black Americans "...seizing their own destines..."

    And, 'you' and 'Nugent' are one of the reasons, blacks need to ..."seize their own destinies"...; CERTAINTLY NOT Nugent's and his 'band' of regurgitators who can't think for his/her self!

    Obama is there for black Americans. GOOD! And, it's about time! The aging self-righteous and irrelvant Nugent as well as his 'throw-back/s'need to get over it! That's the way it is!

    Now, maybe you can try to wrap your head around the idea, 'you have to seize control of your own destiny/destinies', too! Not Nugent's! Nugent needs to stick to his destiny! Just play the guitar and be QUIET! STOP ruining the SHOW with your dribble!

    I suppose you are not having any trouble "making ends meet" Rosemary. This guy is an idiot! I am on a limited income, I don't smoke or drink and I can't make it payday to payday. I certainly am not a "pig" either. Good thing everybody has their own opinion.
