You've got to love Ted on campus. I'll bet those panties don't become unwadded until about graduation time. :D

Yep, like Drizzt said "You have been warned" There is some pretty offensive material contained therein. It is certainly not for the "I'm OK, You're OK" crowd. I would like to see the entire speech, instead of what the media decided to let me see......
 
The Motor City Madman fueled by the purest of proteins!! His show "The Spirit of the Wild" is a kick. :D
 
The Motor City Madman's language was much less "colorful" when I talked to him briefly at the Second Chance Combat Shoot in the late 1990s.

The Nuge is on the radio in my neighborhood from time to time. He owns some land north of me. Hunts there and hangs out with the locals. In the words of the old Native American in "Little Big Man", everytime I listen or see Ted, "My heart soars like anEagle." True man, true American, true patriot. He cuts to the core and always speaks the truth. Some are quieter, some are more circumspect. None are a better example of how one can have a great life and drag a whole buch of us along with him.
The Motor City Madman for Governor of Michigan, yeehaaw.
Ted's actions speak as loud as his words. that's the difference between guys like him and milktoast libs.
 
While I do agree that Mr. Pierre has lost his momentum so to speak, I don't think that the Nuge would be the best choice. He's a bit "gruff" and has too many other "issues" to resolve. Considering our issue is RKBA, his stance alienates too many people for other reasons not related to RKBA.
 
The Nuge has always said it like he sees it.

That's part of the problem. As an activist, your job is to be an effective agent of change for your crucade of choice. By 'calling it the way you see it' you might very well reduce your effectiveness for said cause. Is he there for his own gratification or is he there to further a movement?

I would bet that most conservative males agree with most of what he says.

Agreed, but why preech to the converted? It's probably a better idea if he brings his message of pro-self defense and pro-hunting to those that are not conservative males. Expand your marketshare! He could mix his current message with some free-market environmentalism and reach a much broader audience.

He could also increase his effectiveness if he didn't touch homosexuality as a topic. I don't understand why he did this, what does it gain you? Is someone going to stop being gay because you don't like it? I don't think the govt should be giving a dime to kids with Luekemia or gay people, end govt welfare across the board and dramatically lower taxes so we can decide for ourselves where we fund charity.

Agreed.

I think he makes a good board member, but not necessarily a good general spokesman.

His role should be to convince blue collar fence-sitters. Being un-PC and "rough around the edges" goes farther with that audience. You won't convince suburban soccer moms and yuppies that have the time and money to spend on a cause to support the RKBA as their cause by profligate usage of "f---" or
"p----" or "butt-f---."

I do have to smile and admire the man for not putting any varnish on, though.
 
I'll never totally agree with everything the Nuge has to say, but he's never been one to mince his words. And I've never thought of him as an activist so to speak, but one who lays ideas out on the table the way he sees them and doesn't care what other's think. And just because he didn't say much about the RKBA at that gathering, he does talk about it a lot. Just the other day I was watching VH-1 and they were doing a special show on the most outrageous rockers, or something like that. He was on it and when asked about his gun he said something to the effect of, "Ever hear of something called the 2nd Amendment?"

Honestly? I think the dude probably took the varnish right off.

Nuge is good at what he does, which is getting attention. I have to say, though, that his stance on homosexuality is one that is likely to cause the RKBA more harm than good, and to that end, he should zip it with regard to the gay issue.

I agree with Glock Glockler on the subject of medical funding. Regardless of how high-and-mighty such and such medical cause is, if it's funded by the .gov, it's funded with stolen money.
 
" If it's funded by the government it's funded by stolen money" ----- My daughter was diagnosed with lukemia at age 13 but thanks to reserch with that "stolen money" and God's intervention she is now 19 and in college . Those of you who disagree should walk a mile in my shoes and or/ kiss my A$$!!!
 
The Nuge was on Hannity & Colmes last night and was in top form.

paraphrasing,

C. You and PETA don't get along very well.

N. Oh, PETA, God love'em, every time they say something about me I go out and kill twelve of something!

Saw The Nuge in concert the in 2000. A couple of months before elections. Boy did he bash Hitlery!
 
NU student reaction

One of the daughters is at Northwestern for Pre-Med and one of her roommates came back to the apartment ranting and raving about how "crude" he was.

And the idea of killing, "cutting up" and eating animals that you killed yourself was so disgusting to her! Hypocrite, because she's not a Vegan, just prefers someone else to do her dirty work.

Her roommate's focus was on his language and not on his ideas. (Sheltered child I guess) I think he loses some people because of that, but it's his style and choice.

The general reaction from the people she talked to was they all thought it was pretty funny that he came up there and rattled a bunch of pet cages to the point that no one was willing to confront him on any real issues.

The daughter wished he had come a couple of days earlier when they had their 30 person peace march and a 20 person counter march.

Yeah, I bet Ted could have made that a more interesting gathering out on the commons, you betcha!

I like most of what he say's, but not how he say's it. Those who already agree with him probably still will- but those straddling the fence will probably run the other way. But at least he's out there doing something and you gotta admire that.
 
Gmac,
I'm glad your daughter is doing well.

Just to be clear on what Ted Nugent said:

"Gays get more tax dollars than boys and girls who have leukemia through no fault of their own," Nugent said.

Uncle Ted is on your side.
