Ted Nugent compares Democratic initiatives to 9-11, Civil War, Great Depression

There may be scumbags in America that match Ted Nugent in sheer odiousness, but none have a chance in hell of surpassing him.

Nugent

Throughout our history, America has faced seemingly insurmountable domestic and international challenges.

Domestically, we have gone through a bloody civil war, a catastrophic dust bowl, a Great Depression, Sept 11, 2001 and survived a number of attempts by the Democratic Party to destroy America.

Entitlement spending, such as for the bizarre, runaway welfare, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, is the elephant in the room that no politician wants to address. If we are to save the country for future generations of Americans and ensure they have more opportunity than we do, we must address entitlement spending and address it now. Then kill it all.

    by txthinker (November 10, 2010 9:54 am ET) 3 And a pedophile wifebeater at that, who crapped in his underwear during his Army physical to avoid military service.

    • Then it becomes welfare.
    • This country needs to come to grips. There are ways to fix social problems with out just throwing more money at them. If we could get beyond the fear mongering. The ability for younger people to opt into investing a portion of their SS would be one way. I wish it would have been available for me. I would be retired right now or very soon.
    • As for taxing the rich more, when is it enough. Like SS would be a 6% tax increase, plus you want to raise the income tax on anyone making over 250K, plus states are trying to pass income taxes on the rich or raise their taxes. Now you know why Democrats took a drubbing in the elections. Just look at what your proposals are.
