Old conservative white guys: "...fucking it up since 12,000 b.c." |
"...someday, and that day may never come, I may call upon you to do a service for me..."
-God, apparently
|
-Ted Nugent, on the Parkland survivors -wait,
did he just ask that God to silence them?
Yes, that's noted batshit crazy assault rifle enthusiast bringing his valuable perspective to America's gun debate. That perspective: more guns.
Joe Pags really, really wants you to know that he knows Ted Nugent. Because you know, he knows Ted Nugent. Ted Nugent. |
"...who's been a friend of mine twenty years, the same Ted Nugent, Motor City Madman, the same Ted Nugent that you guys all know, who has been putting out great records for a very long time..."
-Joe Pags, Radio host and
guy who knows Ted Nugent
From VH1's Legends of Dad Rock |
Apparently he's famously anti-drug, which means this is all just crazy. |
"I'm so good it's stupid, I'm actually sharing my lust for the American dream, my, my dream of excellence and we the people individual freedoms and rugged individuality and rugged individualism I'm literally stoned on freedom, I'm high on liberty and I'm willing to share it with you Joe."
-Ted Nugent on...well,
drugs? No? Really?
And then he goes on to explain how Emma Gonzalez, David Hogg and the other Parkland survivors are the soulless shills of a media conspiracy to take away freedom:
Specifically the freedom to hunt deer with assault rifles, I guess... |
-Nugent speaking out against
the victims of gun violence
for insisting that it’s a problem
"The Media, the educational system...but where does the Illuminati fit in? Ah, there it is..." |
An apartheid-era sign from a 'Whites Only' beach in South Africa. Which Nugent is apparently pro. |
Move over Immanuel Kant, Ted Nugget's got something to say |
Also, I'm not qualified to judge whether or not the high school students that organized March for Our Lives have souls or if any of us do for that matter. But I do feel pretty confident that it's not the kind of philosophical question the guy behind Cat Scratch Fever is qualified to chime in on either. But this is America and we debate things, and that's super. I guess I just think that a debate is more valuable when it starts from a place of 'this is a complicated issue, let's discuss,' rather than ‘fuck those lying liars, can you believe how much they lie?’
I guess we can console ourselves with the knowledge that Ted Nugent isn't exactly what you'd call an influencer. After a quick Google search to find out who he even is, these teens probably just shrugged off his comments as the rantings of some nut job their grandparents used to listen to and then went back to bringing down the gun lobby. Advantage: these meddling kids.
Above: Just some of the millions of Americans who don't care about what Ted Nugent has to say about anything. |
