Maybe most folks will agree with me that having Ted Nugent attend the State of the Union is not only disrespectful to the President (given what the Nuge has had to say about him in the past), disrespectful to any of those affected by the Newtown shootings who might attend, and disrespectful to this country by turning it into a circus side show, but for those of you who agree with Rep. Stockman and consider Ted a "patriot," you may want to look into how he - in his own words - dodged the draft. It's a lovely story.
;
Funny, isn't it? - Or perhaps ironic -
[ In Reply To ..]- how liberals who cheered the "draft-dodgers" now consider (only certain) draft-dodgers to be "unpatriotic". What this is really about is that you don't like Ted Nugent.
Period.
And this is the problem with liberals. Or, rather, it's one of the many problems with liberals. They're disingenuous, choosing to walk whatever side of the street that suits their sad agenda.
So, it's no surprise to me when I see them playing this game. It just amazes me that they seem to have no idea how transparent and tiresome it is.
Allow me to redirect... we're not talking about liberals or other draft dodgers. The subject - here is Ted Nugent

Anyhow, I hope this link works because I'm on a tablet.

And here's one with transcript of the 1970s draft dodging interview (foul language warning on this one).

And you're right... I don't like a draft dodger who waves a gun around in order to be patriotic, threatens our president, and basically admits to being a pedophile and seems proud of it.
To me the subject is those who voted for Stockman - and his version of "patriotism." nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Exactly! The person who said liberalism is a mental - disorder hit the nail on the head. nm

Lemme get this straight... - Vamonos Pest
[ In Reply To ..]A TP nut invites a draft dodging (and not an antiwar draft dodger... he pooped himself so he could stay home and rock out on his gee-tar), admitted pedophile who threatened the President of the United States and was investigated by the Secret Service to the SOTU, and liberals are mental????!? lol
Is it *insulting language alert* Opposite Day again?
LOL! And Breaking Bad rocks!! Still don't know if they did that intentionally or not (should be - vamAnos). NM
[ In Reply To ..]nm
HA! I'm wearing the shirt! - Vamonos Pest
[ In Reply To ..]And flashbacks to HS Spanish were telling me that it should be vamanos, too. Maybe there's a real company out there with that name spelled correctly... IDK. Doesn't change the fact that BB rocks (and the Nuge doesn't... trying to stay on topic to please the report message police).
vamOnos is correct - chica
[ In Reply To ..]
Gracias! - Vamonos Pest
[ In Reply To ..]I never said I did well in HS Spanish... lol
I stand corrected, must have been confusing with vayamos. - Tambien, gracias. NM
[ In Reply To ..]NM
If Stockman's constituents' like his seeing the SOTU address - as a chance to insult the president again, then
[ In Reply To ..]this is their statement. After all, they elevated him from state office to federal, so they knew what they were choosing.
I think Ted Nugent is a perfect fit - for the Republican party
[ In Reply To ..].
Why? Since you obviously have no clue what - a Republican is anyway.nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
no one does anymore - doe
[ In Reply To ..]
She shoots - she scores! - grits nm
[ In Reply To ..].
Gasp! She SHOOTS? - Not PC to say that.
[ In Reply To ..]The PC police are on the lookout for people who use such words, or even little school kids who play make believe they are superheroes saving the world at recess.
Give me a break. You SHOOT a basketball, soccer ball, hockey puck, etc., in order to score. - Vamonos Pest
[ In Reply To ..]She didn't say "suck on my machine gun," she scores or "second amendment remedies" she scores. Huge difference.
And if you have a problem with schools' zero tolerance policies, take it up with the schools. A kid being (wrongly) sent home from school doesn't excuse attention-seeking gun-crazed idiots whose rantings can be downright dangerous.
Can't have it both ways - sad to say.
[ In Reply To ..]Political correctness ran amok has made certain words taboo in this culture, even made in jest, so don't take offense. OP made a good point.
She shoots, she scores is not taboo - out in the real world.
[ In Reply To ..]Everyone gets that saying. If I go in the grocery store and say "she shoots, she scores!" when a person makes a right-on statement, NO ONE is going to relate that to guns. EVERYONE will relate it to basketball or hockey.
Someone brought it up here because if we're not bickering at each other, we're not happy. Or, she was being facetious.
Sorry, Vamonos, etc. Answering foolishness is a losing move. - She won. Better play next time. :) A dem

heck... - doe
[ In Reply To ..]...it's not like she was shooting her mouth off about something silly.
: ) - doe
[ In Reply To ..]Not unlike Janis Ian, I never got picked when choosing sides for basketball! Thanks!
Cuz he's a gun-totin' redneck - cowboy. Yeeeeeeha!
[ In Reply To ..]Yosemite Sam on crack
HEY! - grits
[ In Reply To ..]Sam has a message for you
My sincerest apologies - to Sam!
[ In Reply To ..]He really didn't deserve that comparison, did he?
I can think of a few other - draft dodgers...
[ In Reply To ..]one of whom became president.

What happened to Cantor wasn't a "Republican" thing. It was a response to the catastrophe that i ...

We were lumped in a group with the housekeepers and the nurses. Union membership was mandatory for employment and dues were taken directly out of our paychecks.

Of course this was 10 years ago, but we made from $8.10 per hour to a max of $12.39 per hour, but we did only have to pay $50 a ...
