A Holiday Poem for Ted Nugent

This is your last holiday on earth,
Shedding ONE tear is more than you're worth
I'll think of you often.
With your guns in your coffin
The nation will celebrate your death,not your birth!

'Gun Country,' Ted Nugent's Discovery Special, Is Not Returning

  By Chris Harnick  

Don't expect any more "Ted Nugent's Gun Country" on Discovery. The special, which aired in October 2012, was a one-time special and will not return for new episodes, according to a spokesperon for the network. Despite what Nugent may have told the press, this is it for "Ted Nugent's Gun Country."
"They want to do it as a regular feature," Nugent said of his Discovery special. "We expect that there will be at least a dozen shows a year."
The reality special followed Nugent -- and his guns -- as he lived life, hunting and shooting to have fun.
"Our new show ... simply celebrates and promotes the self-evident truth that 99.99 percent of American gun-owning families use our guns on a regular basis for all the right reasons," Nugent wrote in his "Washington Times" column in October. "The same 99.99 percent of Americans with guns will never use our guns in a crime or for any negative misuse whatsoever."
Since the tragic shooting at Sandy Brook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, many networks have been evaluating their programming and making changes: Syfy pulled an episode of "Haven" that featured school violence and will air it in January; TLC rescheduled their new reality special "Best Funeral Ever" for an early 2013 airdate; Fox pulled episodes of "Family Guy" and "American Dad" from its Sunday, December 16 lineup and scheduled them for a later date; and "American Guns" and "Sons of Guns" reruns are also not airing on Discovery and "American Guns" will not return for new episodes.
"'American Guns' concluded earlier this year," a spokesperson for Discovery told The Huffington Post via email. "Discovery Channel chose not to renew the series and has no plans to air repeats of the show."

Ted Nugent's Budget Deal: Suspend Vote For Welfare Recipients

Ted Nugent's  impending death (or incarceration) is making the holiday season more joyous!

Ted Nugent called for the suspension of the right to vote for "any American who is on welfare" as part of his proposal to reduce federal budget deficits outlined in his latest Washington Times column.
The National Rifle Association board member also called for "slaughtering the three sacred entitlement cows" of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and called for tax increases on "the nearly 50 percent of Americans who pay zero federal income taxes." Nugent wrote that these policies should be instituted "before taxes are raised on the producers, which will further choke the economy."
Nugent frequently attacks Americans who receive public assistance, whom he has termed "gluttonous, soulless pigs."
From Nugent's column:

The three sacred entitlement cows in the room that no politician wants to poke are Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. A blinding statement of the obvious is that we are never going to get our financial house in order until these sacred entitlement cows are not only poked, but slaughtered. Until the slaughter is over, everything else is just taxation window dressing.
In addition to slaughtering the three sacred entitlement cows that consume a vast majority of the federal budget (and I use the term budget generously), let's truly spread the pain around and raise taxes on everyone, including the nearly 50 percent of Americans who pay zero federal income taxes. Those Americans need to have some skin in the game, too. I recommend at least a 5 percent federal income tax bracket for them. The insane free ride needs to end. [...]
Let's also stop the insanity by suspending the right to vote of any American who is on welfare. Once they get off welfare and are self-sustaining, they get their right to vote restored. No American on welfare should have the right to vote for tax increases on those Americans who are working and paying taxes to support them. That's insane. [...]
It shouldn't take a Motown guitar slayer to come up with these common-sense bargaining chips before taxes are raised on the producers, which will further choke the economy. How about it, GOP?

Stupid Right-Wing Tweets: Ted Nugent Edition

Ted Nugent is a fucking idiot!

By Blue Texan

The right-wing's daily Two Minutes of Hate is being directed on Twitter today at Bob Costas. Why? Because he dared to say on national television that, contrary to what wingers and glibertarians been saying for decades, guns actually do kill people.

This has predictably led gun fetishists like Ted Nugent to tweet a great deal of stupidity. As far as I can tell, around half of these SRWTs are just calling Costas names -- and the other half (including Nugent's) are of the A NAIL FILE CAN KILL YOU SO SHOULD WE OUTLAW THOSE TOO COSTAS?! variety.
What isn't in dispute is the following:
A) Countries with lots of guns have lots of gun-related deaths.
B) Countries without lots of guns don't.
But...but...freedom!
