Good grief, why would he? Nugent has
never done drugs, drank or smoked. He's
a role model to young people.

He's an outspoken patriotic American,
a spokesman for the 2nd amendment,
and a long supporter of our military.

Ted Nugents excuse for not being in the Rock hall of fame

Conservative rocker Ted Nugent claims his involvement in the National Rifle Association has kept him from his industry’s biggest honor.
“That’s the only reason I’m not in the Rock And Roll Of Fame,” Nugent declared in an interview with Albany radio station Q103 last week.

"No the asshole just isn't good enough"

ROTFL
I agree
I listen to a ton of classic rock. (Listening to Elvis right now 8-30-74 Las Vegas Hilton, a conservative in the Hall)
I never listen to Ted. No quality material.

It's crazy, I know. No one seems to even have heard of "the Holodomar", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor. 7-10 million Uke's intentionally starved and displaced? Or, the 50-60 million Mao killed. Why is the only genocide that makes the news the "six million"? Makes we wonder who owns the press? History is written by the winners.


The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum established April 22, 1993 is the official memorial to the Shoah (the catastrophe). The museum contains "the Committee on Conscience" which speaks out against mass genocide in Darfur, Checnya, Cambodia not just the Jewish massacre in WWII.

Democide is a term revived and redefined by the political scientist R. J. Rummel as "the murder of any person or people by their government, including genocide, politicide and mass murder".Rummel calculates nearly 43 million deaths due to democide inside and outside the Soviet Union during Stalin's regime. This is much higher than an often quoted figure of 20 million.

Uh oh, Trump's strategy totally worked, the
little fat guy has completely backed off firing
missiles at Guam. I'm sure the press will
somehow twist this against Trump, lol.

Yep. The North Korea story is completely over. We won't hear any more about it in the days, months, and years to come.

It remained after the Cuban Missile Crisis, too. The important thing is you defuse it at least for now. The Little Guy was probably flexing to maintain power, he is still a young guy who probably is seen as not to have paid his dues, light as a feather in the eyes of the lower ranking guys in power. He failed in his flexing so perhaps he gets weakened.
The President is a fink.

Thank God! I'm glad it's over. He's only age 33 and his daughter is age 5, and his father died around age 70.

That requirement that the POTUS be at least age 35 makes more sense now.

It'll never be over in NK as long as the
pot bellied tyrant is there. My guess is
Trump will find a way to get in there
and get rid of him, wait and see. I
have relatives on Guam, they are thrilled
that Trump is standing up to the guy.
They're sick of the decades of intimidation.
To say they hated Obama's chicken shit
guts is a huge understatement. They
thought Obama was going to get them
nuked out of existence.

Yup. Next time Kim pops up, you know to blame it on Hillary and Obama.
Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER
