Ted knows best.... the Government does have a “STRANGLEHOLD” on us...!
My thoughts exactly
As good as that sounds, it will never happen. About 4 years ago a hunting forum i’m a member of, sponsored a group of wounded and recovering soldiers from the Brooks Army Medical Center, all expenses paid, all transportation provided. 2 days before the hunt was to take place, we heard rumor of a guest celebrity making his appearance. On the second day, coming in like a whirlwind, to the tune of Cat Scratch Fever, blasting on his stereo arrives Uncle TED. I’ve met few people in my life who has as more admiration and respect for our military men and women, than Uncle TED. He didn’t hunt with us, but he did go out with a couple of soldiers who did. They both agreed he changed they’re lives forever. That night we set around the fire pit and listened to him play and talk. His sermon on life, liberty and freedom and why we must protect them at all cost, even brought tears to this old vets eyes. TED would never run for office, it would only hold him back. He gets much better results doing what he was born to do, and thats make a difference. He’s one of the smartest men i’ve ever met, far to smart to be a politician.
In 1978, Nugent became the legal guardian of his 17-year-old girlfriend Pele Massa in order to have sex with her.[4][5]
What makes you think the "idiots" in D. C. can't figure it out?
They know exactly what is happening and they will continue doing what they've been doing. The more they spend the more power they can exert. The more they can tax, the more they can control the people.
We're not being treated as citizens by our government but as vanquished hordes by a victorious occupier.
Ted is a rock star, and has been for over 30 years, and he has a "past". He's not stupid.
Yeah I’ll be honest and say a little piece of me was thinking the same thing when I wrote it but why let introspection get in the way of some good hyperbole.
Great citation!
He’s the best. I grew up solidly in the corner of anyone who could warble Maybelline while firing off fretted scuds without any particular target in mind. Good stuff. White Buffalo. It all sort of comes back you know. I was solidly a Nugent boy in the 70’s.
To alter Mr. Reagan's metaphor slightly: 'A rising tide lifts all boats', provided the water in the tide isn't wildly corrosive.
The US, candidly, needs some sort of recession in order to flush out the excesses now embedded quite thoroughly in the economy. The CDO/SIV mess helps, in the longer term, no matter that there's some short-term pain.
All the political class are doing with this loony ''stimulus'' scheme is attempting to mask a structural illness with a high fever.
Look at our choices for President in 2008. I say LETS DRAFT TED!
He lives in Waco and Bush in Crawford. Both are in McLennan County no more than twenty miles apart.
Capital spending is coming from the new century’s lend lease partner’s, the UAE, Saudi, Dubai etal. It’s a big merry go round, pyramid building on a grand scale as if pyramid building wasn’t itself grand enough. Of course that’s the true structural weakness, the fact you always have to outdo yourself to keep it going.
Fortunately there are probably still over 1 billion people in the world squatting in a dirt trench if they’re lucky so I tend to look on the bright side. We have a lot consumers yet to mentor up from the dirt.
Well said. If you build one road, maintenance cost over time is effectively a fixed, known expense. If you build an indeterminate number of roads, as the political winds shift back and forth, the formerly fixed expense doesn’t simply multiply by that number. It goes up further still as administration and bureaucratic costs take a greater chunk with each new road built. Not to mention the add-on costs of interest and graft, of course.

Yep, that’s just about ‘up the road’ in Texas speak. hehe
I guess that explains where he came up with the lyrics for “Wango Tango”. Or maybe “Cat Scratch Fever”. Or quite possibly “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang”. I often wonder what my parents were thinking when they walked by my room and heard such lyrics. I guess as with most rock music, the words are inaudible to the refined ear of the aged.
