BAD AMERICAN
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2001

Written by Ted Nugent, the rock singer and
hunter/naturalist, upon hearing that California
Democratic Senators Barbara Boxer and Diane
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" Jessie
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.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I sure am glad all the stars in this country aren't liberal democrats.

Say and do what you believe in..than stand behind it.

Seen that before....about the best written thing I've ever read on the net. Sums up how I feel.

Bowhunters Discount Warehouse is nearby and Ted made an appearance there a few years ago at an open house. I've seen interviews with him on TV and he is is unapologetic (as he should be) about his love of hunting. Quite the contrast to many entertainers.

Hmmm, just this morning, I received an e-mail (forwarded goodness knows how many times) with a very slightly different version of this story, attributed to George Carlin. Oh well, whoever said it first, I'd have to pretty much agree with it.

Can't be George Carlin....I think he's the only person I've heard of who started out Conservative and ended up Liberal. Very Liberal! Saw him interviewed on a show about his changing political thoughts over the years.

Beats me, Jeff. You know how these e-mails get forwarded, corrupted, etc. all over the place./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif An old friend just forwarded it to me this morning.
