AMERICAblog: Ted Nugent is very manly

  • vicarpeggio · 1 year ago
    I will admit to liking '70's-era Nuge ("Stranglehold" is a GREAT song). But the guy is a total clown now-- and, after being in the soft-rock "supergroup" Damn Yankees in the late '80's, he sacrificed his meat-and-potatoes rock credibility as well.

    Yes, he's deflecting bullets with his boring guitar solo. Nice "Merry Go Round" shades too.

    It was the early 90's...and it sucked all the same. What the fuck was he chewing on, bear gristle? LMFAO after all these years, I used to appreciate his stance on gun control, now he embarrasses me and my fellow gun toters. REALLY intelligent guy, though...an enigma, he is....
  • boogieman · 1 year ago
    Really funny performance by the Nuge....I remember thinking to myself at the time that vid came out, "What the fuck is wrong with that guy?"...chewing his cud, he was....

    OK, I'll comment: Son of the owner of the company I still work for was bragging about his planned trip to Canada to shoot a bear, where "it's still legal." Black bear, mind you. (Give him a bowie knife and take it on, you'll still have a small penis afterwards. ) And I couldn't help thinking, while looking at him, how much important this planet would be without him instead of that black bear.

    I'm all for wildlife management through controlled hunting, but luring bears into shooting range by drawing them in with cookies and ho-ho's and honeybuns is, well, PUSS in my humble opinion...what the fuck is wrong with people these days? Track it, hunt it down, then kill it. Fair game, not sitting ducks...just my 2 cents....they do this shit because, get ready for this, BEARS ARE REALLY HARD TO KILL.....so they use the bears stomache to get the upper hand, just like my wife of 18 years did with me...LOL...of course, her titties had something to do with it, as well...

    An aspect of American culture I'll never miss. If Bush is not impeached and imprisoned these bastards will be so emboldened they'll become the dominate face of of America....

    If you think Democrats are going to be the saving grace, take a look at this...

    Congressional Resolution Demands Bush Act on Iran

    A non-binding resolution to demand that President Bush impose "stringent inspection requirements" on trade with Iran - language that leaves the door open for a military blockade - will likely come to the House floor this week, according to sources close to Congressional leadership. The legislation, H.Con.Res.362, which is paralleled by a similar Senate bill, has gained bipartisan support rapidly, with more co-sponsors signing on by the day. Once it hits the floor, it's bound to "pass like a hot knife through butter," a staffer in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office told Chelsea Mozen of the nonprofit Just Foreign Policy.

    Trita Parsi, co-founder and president of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), concurred, saying passage may happen as early as Tuesday.

    "This bill will likely be put on the floor under suspension - meaning that it will pass without even a vote," Parsi told Truthout.

    Bills placed under rules of suspension are usually uncontroversial. However, this one is an ominous exception, according to Parsi.

    "It sets the stage for a very dangerous escalation," he said.

    The most strongly worded section of the legislation is article three, which states: "Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress - (3) demands that the President initiate an international effort to immediately and dramatically increase the economic, political, and diplomatic pressure on Iran to verifiably suspend its nuclear enrichment activities by, inter alia [among other things], prohibiting the export to Iran of all refined petroleum products; imposing stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran; and prohibiting the international movement of all Iranian officials not involved in negotiating the suspension of Iran's nuclear program."

    In all fairness, Ted Nugent suffers from chronic cat-scratch fever. It effects the brain and testes, causing them to shrink to Republican size.

    Oh BTW did I mention that blockading the ports of another country is an ACT OF WAR!
  • Õ¿Õ · 1 year ago
    OK, unless they atone, things will steadily decline. Aint none on me doing anything. Nothing to do with it. Just saying. You don't kill anything like that unless you need to eat. Not even a toad. Man, it's overwhelming what they're bringing on themselves and the rest of us.

    good luck to you all

    Shoot a rhino, you small dick draft dodging because you had explosive vomit during Vietnam sorry excuse shooting a rhino, I put a curse on it all, including you...

    I wouldn't dream of going hunting without my trusty grenade launcher to soften up the area before we setup deer camp.

    Nugent is such a wuss.

    Who the hell is Ted Nugent??
  • ndtovent · 1 year ago
    think late 70's, 'cat scratch fever.' He's a washed up heavy metal rock singer from the 70's with a new career bashing anyone whom he thinks is too far left.. Finally found something he could do. oh, and little history trivia about him.. He didn't smoke or drink, but he was a total sex addict with when he was touring, and a lot of his 'conquests' were underage girls---many more so than all the other metalheads who were popular at the time.

    Ted's an idiot but in all fairness you shouldn't judge people manliness when you r in Paris, lol

    I was watching a "travel program" on PBS last Saturday morning. Costa Rica.. Beautiful country. I was feeling nice and toasty, relaxed. They were nterviewing ex-pats there. And then a wingnut there said, " It's great. No regulations." WTF? What sort of fucking"regulations"? You were strip mining here now but had to escape to there to rape the enviornment? Isn't that just like them? Fuck up this country and then run off to another place. How innaly insane is that?? Maybe fucking little kids or something, if that's your bag, freak. All these repukes are now retiring to Costa Rica. Avoid that place.

    ha ha. I just saw that the people there are going to cut your throats when the time comes...

    Seriously, my partner said he plans to buy thousands of acres in Argentina. I said, you really believe they would eventually allow that? No, they will remove us/you from that area. Since, he's not mentioned it. But fuck, that's their ancestrial land forever and you're just "going to buy it."? No way. They will quickly dispatch those on it as soon as they are able.
  • Õ¿Õ · 1 year ago
    I told him that and ever since he's been pissed off at me but he knows it's true.

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts said on Monday it would go ahead with plans to present its Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to the late George Carlin, making him the first comedian so honored posthumously.

    Carlin, the counter-culture figure famed for his provocative stand-up routines on such subjects as profanity, drugs and the demise of humankind

    It seems somewhat fitting that Carlin should receive this award. A number of commentators have noted that Carlin seemed bitter at the end of his life. And so this wandering segway by way of Mark Twain himself...

    Damned Human Race


    I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the lower animals (so-called), and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me. For it obliges me to renounce my allegiance to the Darwinian theory of the Ascent of Man from the Lower Animals; since it now seems plain to me that the theory ought to be vacated in favor of a new and truer one, this new and truer one to be named the Descent of Man from the Higher Animals.

    The Hopi have coded their prophecies, which you can "Google.". I'll decipher it for you. They're telling us we're going to be gone. "Messicans" are the true native people of this land and they're re-inhabiting it. However, they say, there is room for us all. They're a very generous type people. They want some of us here. Take heed.

    Stay tuned...

    Ted said in an interview that he avoided the draft by shitting in his clothes and wearing them for a month and showing up for his physical wearing them having not taken a bath the whole time. They determined he was CRAZY.

    He is a demented sex offender. Why don't they investigate him for his much public rants on Obama and Hillary?

    Put a fucking towel on his head and he could have given that tirade in Kabul as a member of the Taliban.
  • dkswerve · 1 year ago
    Ted Nugent is psychotic. There is no other way to describe this man. There are plenty of fucks out there like him but since he is famous, we hear about him more. ain't no reason to get all hot and bothered about this fuck. he has got to live with himself, you feel me.
  • tomsoppe · 1 year ago
    I saw his "kill it and grill it" cookbook at an estate sale.

    It of course was about how cool he was for being such a rebel against all those vegetarians and liberals, which are of course all powerful and all intolerant. And presumably just so numerous where he lives in rural Michigan- making his rebellion against them all the more brave and manly. <snark>

    And it had lots of praise in quotes on the cover for what a great, real, guy he was from GOP politicians and commentators and also from the likes of pseudo-mod fellow Michigander Mitch Albom, if I recall. The comments seem to focus on how you must love his authenticity even if you are too much of an effete fag to disagree with him, blah blah blah. Yeah Hitler was authentic too.

    People like Nugent and his defenders make me sick. But I guess that makes me not a regular guy, so Chris Matthews and Cokie Roberts and Tim Russert's ghost will probably all show up with torches at my house.
  • slowshooter · 1 year ago
    Nugent "can" be funny. But I wouldn't put him at the front of any political movement... I thought stranglehold was a pretty good song in 1977 - come to think of it - considering what else was playing on the local radio stations - it was!

    Doubt that most people fly to africa to shoot drugged zoo animals. If that was the case there would be no zoo animals on the dark continent. Certainly folks that shoot penned, fenced, tame, or captured exotics aren't really hunting. Yeah, they might have a hunting license but they haven't quite gotten over the bar.

    Nuge is quite a sideshow and good bowhunter. The sideshow I can do without.
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    head case.
  • Doxy · 1 year ago
    I live in Waco, and I swear it the Nuge wasn't here, we'd have to invent him. He's sort of like a one man train wreck. You just can't help but slow down and look.
  • comsympinko · 1 year ago
    Big game hunters are big men indeed.

    Big, huge men. And yet, they seem to be small in one particular way...

    You want to be a big man in the big game biz? Go after that tiger or elephant with a spear and a net that you made yourself.

    See how that works out.

    Savages.
  • slowshooter · 1 year ago
    Spears? Sounds good. I'm game. You pay the air fare to Africa.

    I'd rather use a rifle though - it would cause the animal less pain. Keep the net... I won't need it as I'm not a trapper.

    I just forwarded the YouTube video to the Raleigh Secret Service. They were seemed intensely interested after hearing my discription. They said that Washington may already have checked it out, but since none of the YouTube comments (I read them all) indicated any concern about his ravings, perhaps no one had ever reported him. I suspect they constitute a felony. Then again, what the hell do I know?
