Ted Nugent Says Obama 'Clueless'; Nugent Finger Salutes Gun Opponents

Famed Rocker Ted Nugent Let Loose on President Obama Calling Him a 'Clueless Rookie'

Radell Smith
President Obama is a 'clueless rookie' according to Ted Nugent, reported the Washington Times. Nugent, who is graced with having an editorial column in the Washington Times, makes use of it to sound off on topics near and dear. This week, as a prelude to Independence Day, Ted took potshots at the president of the free world and the risk Obama places America in by continuing to spend what we don't have.

Ted Nugent encourages defense of freedoms

It appears that two key issues drove Ted Nugent in his angry editorial column for the Times: President Obama's inability to rein in spending (or maybe it was Obama's total commitment to it), and the attempt by some individuals on the Supreme Court who wanted to take away America's right to bear arms.

Nugent may be more vocal and lively in his demonstration and speech against both controversial topics, but he is certainly not standing alone in that regard. Many Americans, although maybe in more discreet ways, disapprove of the continued growing deficit and the president and Congress' mindset that you can spend what you don't have.

And many Americans feel that attempting to remove their right to bear arms is akin to undoing the American Revolution's whole purpose: to allow us to have our freedoms and defend ourselves against tyranny from governmental oppressors as well as enemy forces.

Supreme Court gets Nugent's finger

Nugent, not one to be subtle on stage or in the press, used his concert recently to drive home just what he thought about the Supreme Court's attempt to take his weapon, telling his concert crowd:

"You want to see my permit?" The rocker appeared to be reaching into his back pocket before producing his middle finger and a snappy one-liner, "Here it is."

Ted encouraged his audience to stand firm with him in support of the National Rifle Association and the country's military. The rocker told the concert attendees they should join the NRA and let the U.S. men and women serving our country know how much they appreciate them.

Is Nugent the male, more liberal, version of Sarah Palin?

"When in doubt, I whip it out," Nugent said in his editorial about the Supreme Court trying to remove the freedom to bear arms. Nugent seems to be greatly in doubt in regards to the direction the country is heading and he isn't resting on his concert stage about it, either.

"I am appalled that any clear-thinking human, much less an American sitting on the Supreme Court, could possibly believe that individual Americans have no right to self-defense," Ted lamented in his editorial column for the Washington Times.

Nugent is referring to the four judges who actually thought that the right to bear arms was a freedom to be removed from American citizens. Fortunately, that freedom, provided for by our founding fathers, remains, but just barely in a 5-4 final vote count.

Nugent locks and load at the president and congress verbally

"With the Mao Zedong fan club in the White House, a clueless, rookie president hellbent on spending like a maniac, as unprecedented debt piles up all around him, and every other imaginable indicator of an America turned upside-down, it comes as no surprise that this insane level of madness has metastasized into a Supreme Court," Ted comments in his column.

"Where the Bill of Rights is being trashed by clueless, dangerously insulated old people intentionally disconnected from the real world, where the possession of a firearm often means the difference between life and death for good, innocent Americans every day of the year," Nugent added, emphasizing that crime runs rampant in America as much as other places and American's without a weapon in their home have no defense against rapist and killers who would attempt to harm them.

America growing more vulnerable to foreign enemies and internal ones?

Ted Nugent may be a rock'n roller, he may be a bit outspoken and a brash man with a penchant for witty one-liners, but he is also very logical in his reasoning that a broke America is a vulnerable America.

Ted Nugent is also correct that if American's don't have the freedom to bear arms, they might as well have never left England in the first place, as without that right who can stand and truly defend freedom from tyranny? Certainly our founding fathers couldn't have stood up against the British when they attempted to force compliance to those forging the land of the free. I salute Ted Nugent for supporting freedom, but I'm not using my middle finger to do it.

    God bless America.

    Thanks to all my readers on this article. You've ran the gamut from socially conservative to down right reckless, but you've also embodied what makes America the land of the free: diversity. With diversity comes difference of opinion, with difference of opinion comes conflict and conversations laced with emotion and sometimes words that wound, as we don't all express ourselves in the same way. I now ask that you 'reach across the aisle' with one another like Heller the republican did in the Senate recently to vote 'yea' on a bill that went against his position regarding funding source. We can all disagree, but let us 'agree' to disagree and let us do so with some measure of respect in conversation. Profanity, name-calling, and the like have no place in this century. Surely we've progressed beyond that?

    Declawed, spayed, neutered and caged. It's just not safe otherwise and its governments job to make your world 100% safe. Ted is not a follower of the "life without risk" philosophy. There are new things coming that will change the economy in the same way as computers.

    I would suggest trying real hard to find the best way to meet the needs of everyone regardless of how much thought it requires.

    We'd probably get farther in electing politians if we elected them based on things that we all know need to be addressed and are a problem. I think pretty much everyone believes that continued deficit spending will cause us problems. Keep the other crap off of the table. That way we would all be working towards electing officials who were truly fiscally conservative. When those thoughts get interwinded with "my constitutional freedoms are being taken away", it wreaks of conservative whining, especially when a democratic president is in office. I wonder if there could ever be a consensus on how government should be cut. Is it easier than we think or would two sides emerge to that?

  • No Party Line7/4/2010

    I continue to be amazed at those who label anyone who doesn't embrace their philosophy as 'one particular party.' Not all democrats or all republicans hold the same position on all topics. You're generalizing Dennis. Ted Nugent has a right to voice his opinion about the president. And it looks to me like Obama is definitely kicking the can down the road...and our budget too.

  • Dennis7/4/2010

    I agree wholeheartedly with Tik (below)... The Republican's continue to take pot shots at the President, but at least he is trying to do something about all our country's ills. At least he isn't doing the status quo and "kicking the can down the road". Additionally, if we got out of Iraq, we would save a trillion dollars a day (no kidding, we spend a lot to be over there) and we could pay for all the stimulus in no time. I still like old Teddy boy as a musician, but have to disagree with him on this one.

  • Kacee7/4/2010

    I can't imagine anything more positive for the president than some atonal hick calling him 'clueless'.

  • joe7/4/2010
