Ted Nugent's Anti-Obama Rant Helps Nobody

The fact that our government has became a corrupted group of men who's only loyalty is to Money! And the fact that the people have no say anymore only corporations and banks. Bilderberg group and The Trilateral Commission pick who will be in office before the elections happen. The fact that our government can take everything you worked for if they want too. But yet when someone says one thing against their puppet in the white house they get a visit from their version of the Nazi SS . Simple fact for this country to get back on track will take the people to stand up and remove the officials and their backers from power .

We live in a wonderful country that protects our rights, most of them, most of the time, but is it too much to ask for famous people that have a wide forum of admires,fans,etc. to be responsible for their actions and rhetoric, even more so than non-famous people? Further more, I want to know where these “events” will lead, as we enter a presidential race that is “messy and ugly” to say the least. I do not agree with some of Obama’s politics, but I voted for him, and if you disrespect my president, then you are disrespecting my vote, my rights to vote, and finally my country.”Second-guessing” our democracy with angry, potentially violent rhetoric is an insult to every American citizen, in this country and around the world.

Of course the right doesn't want their candidate to be encumbered by the insane rants of the knuckleheads spouting their toxic hate filled ignorant rhetoric. They're embarrassing. The likes of Nugent, Hank Williams Jr., Rick Perry, Santorum. Limbaugh, Beck, Bachman, etc. etc. etc. are enough to turn anybody's stomach. Sorry, you created them, you deal with it.

Haas, typical biased liberal reporting. Where were you when Oboomba was attacking Romney and his lifestyle. Even sent his stodges out to attack Ann Romney who has M.S. and cancer.
As to Ted Nugent he is right and he has helped the NRA because everyone but you seems to know that disarming America is next on Oboomba;s list.
While the secret service was trying to silence Nugent no one bothered to stop the black Panthers who issued a dead or alive poster for Zimmerman, which I believe is against the law? No one bothered to investigate Farracon who ordered his followers to kill one politican a day. Which I also believe is against the law. But what the hell Holder is busy trying to hide the fast and furious blunder. and you continue to write articles to attack Republicans!

This blog BITES. I posted a perfectly legitimate and respectful comment last night, and it was removed. I would like to know why? I DO NOT agree with Nugent's threatening comments towards our President, nor did I respect Nugent previously as he dodged the draft during Vietnam by defecating and urinating in his clothes for weeks in order to get out of being sent into combat. He is disgusting. NOT a true Amarican AT ALL. Educate yourselves people.
From a November 2005 Rolling Stones Interview: (Nugent claims) that "30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment."
The truth HURTS. Ignorance is bliss, huh?
Let's see if you have the cahoonas to leave this comment up.

I'm not sure what to think of the left on this matter. A few years ago Paul McCartney was at the White House and made a comment that George W Bush couldn't read. I don't recall the left media talking about how stupid he was. If you knew anything about Ted Nugent you would know that he has been a political actvist for years even hosting his own radio show, so to refer to him as just an old rocker is stupid. There have been many threats on his life and his family as well but you all seem to only look at this from one side. He doesn't need attention he gets a lot of it he is very passionate and though you may diaggree with him he is atleast he is saying it. I haven't seen anything about the secret service talking to Farrakahn. He has made some threats too but nobody does anything.

Not anotherone of CO _ ANOTHER Bush would be GREAT. "From 2004 to 2007, federal tax revenue increased by $780 billion, the largest four-year increase in American history":
"In every case over the last 60 years, major tax cuts have more than paid for themselves. In fact, every major tax cut since JFK has been followed by substantial increases in revenue, not to mention solid economic growth. Moreover, total federal revenue rose at a faster rate after each of those tax cuts than it did before them. Anyone can confirm these basic facts for themselves by checking federal budget data and economic indicators before and after major tax cuts (see, for example, Federal Budget Data, Data 360 Unemployment U.S., and Total Economy Database). Let’s take a closer look at the results of the last four major tax cuts (and then for good measure we’ll examine the Mellon tax cuts of the 1920s)."
"Bush Tax Cuts: President George W. Bush’s 2003 tax cuts generated a massive increase in federal tax revenue and were followed by 52 consecutive months of economic growth. From 2004 to 2007, federal tax revenue increased by $780 billion, the largest four-year increase in American history. Total federal revenue from 2003 to 2007":
"2003 -- $1.78 trillion
2004 -- $1.88 trillion
2005 -- $2.15 trillion
2006 -- $2.40 trillion
2007 -- $2.56 trillion"
"Total federal revenue for 2008 dropped slightly, down to $2.52 trillion, because a recession started that year, but revenue was still substantially higher than it was in 2003 or 2004. During the same period, income tax revenue rose dramatically, going from $925 billion in 2003 to $1.53 trillion in 2007. As with other types of federal revenue, income tax revenue dropped slightly in 2008, down to $1.45 trillion, due to the fact that a recession began that year."
"It’s important to keep in mind that the recession had nothing to do with the tax cuts. The recession was brought on by destructive federal intervention in the subprime mortgage market, irresponsible funding and securitization of subprime loans by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, unsound Federal Reserve monetary policy, a lack of oversight by the Securities and Exchange Commission, greed and fraud committed by certain large banks and investment firms, and consumers who bought homes they really couldn’t afford."
