The Thing That SAW Commies!
Ted Nugent appears to have failed out of the opinion pages of the Washington Times, replacing it with an identical column at the conspiracy and birther news site, WorldNetDaily. It is difficult to imagine being too insane and right-wing for the Washington Times. After all, writing the same thing over and over about the president being a Chicago-style gangster, a fan of Mao Tse-Tung and someone using the “Saul Alinsky playbook” to dismantle America never gets old with the fan base. Or perhaps Times editors noticed Ted was giving banner interviews, identical to his his columns for them, for a competitor, WND.
So this week at WND, Nugent delivers another interview with the same old stuff, including his new vehement assertion: The president is a commie who appoints commies!
Who uses the word ‘commie’ now? Anyone, besides white people over sixty? Do young people even know what ‘commies’ were or where they lived?
If there’s anything that paints one as an old fool, it’s probably ranting about ‘commies’ in 2013.
“Then when you scrutinize the self-evident truth of God-given individual rights, the Founding Fathers wrote it down, not because they got together and had a good idea. They knew that the king denied these self-evident truths and these God-given individual rights.
“So we wrote down the self-evident, truth-based, God-given rights that we the people in this new land, free of kings, free of emperors, free of tyrants, free of slave drivers, that we will exercise our God-given, instinctual, self-evident, truth-based right to self-defense from any evil force that threatens our gift of life from God and especially power-abusing monsters in government.???
Nugent said he also doesn’t buy President Obama’s claim that he’s proposing “common-sense??? gun restrictions or Obama’s claim that he is a great respecter of the Second Amendment.
“I say sure you are, Mr. President, and I’m a gay pirate,??? mused Nugent. “One just has to study Barack Obama’s voting record.
“The commander in chief will go to the Vietnam Memorial Wall and will put on his community organizer, ACORN, Van Jones, gangland, Chicago, gangster-politic scam best and pretend to show respect for 58,000 heroic American military warriors who gave the ultimate sacrifice fighting communism. And then President Obama will go back and appoint members of the Communist Party as his czars.
“He will continue to associate [with] communists, publicly admitted communists after visiting the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
Ted Nugent did not fight in the Vietnam War. ACORN no longer exists, although many Tea Party types when polled after the November election evinced belief it had been the cause of the president’s victory. And many of the Founding Fathers, whose work Nugent loves to cite, were slave-owners.
Which a lot of people who’ve had high school history and remember it know.
In a side note, Ted Nugent is emblematic of why the Republican Party was rejected by voters in November. It became a party that thinks exactly like him, if — on occasion, and only on occasion — more politely.
Now why can’t someone make T-shirts of my Escape from WhiteManistan movie posters?
