Thumbs up "I Am A Bad American" (Ted Nugent)

I got this in an email today, and thought I'd post it. I really enjoy ol' Ted...at least you know where he stands. Wouldn't it be great if another casualty of the WTC disaster is all the "Political Correctness" BS?

BAD AMERICAN
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2001
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!!

"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, 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 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.

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" Jesse
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

I would say Ted has a stranglehold on the truth!

Beside the part about Ole Yeller (never saw it), I am also 100% in agreement.

I have read that before, and agree that I am also a "Bad American"
I also require that anyone speaking to me, do it in english.
When I am on the CB and hear some one speaking another language, I say "Hey! This is a Citizens Band radio. If you are a citizen, speak english, if not, get the F**K off of it!"
FastCloud often goes in to a store in the wee hours after work to find a person yaking on the phone in a forein language. He will tell the person "If you can't put the phone down and speak english to me, I am outa here"
It is up to us all to let everyone how just how "Bad" an American we really are.

I saw Ted in concert when he opened for KISS on their Farewell Tour not too long ago...he put on quite a show...and probably offended a few people at the same time. I can't say that I was much of a Nugent fan before the show, but I am now. He definitely isn't afraid to let you know what he thinks. Check out his song "Kiss My A$$" sometime...he sang that one at the concert and by doing so, pretty much told anyone he doesn't like (Sarah Brady from Handgun Control, Janet Reno, Bill Clinton, etc), to kiss his rearend. At the end of the show, he hung a guitar on a rack of speakers and went backstage and got a bow and arrow...that poor guitar.

This country needs more "Bad Americans". Rock on Ted.
