Ted Nugent... a spokesman for Conservatives! How Embarrassing!
Ted loves to promote his 2nd amendment rights... you know how the 2nd amendment goes don't ya??? Every Conservative worth his salt knows the part about: "The right of the people to keep and bear Arms", and Ted Nugent often promotes the "right to bear arms"... However Ted seems to forget the first part of the 2nd amendment... the part that says: ~ "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" ~
When gun totin, straight shootin, heavily armed Ted Nugent had a chance to actually arm himself and be a part of the 2nd amendment's "Well Regulated Militia"... Ted Crapped his Pants... Literally!
To avoid service in the Vietnam war, Nugent had dodged the draft by avoiding personal hygiene, eating as much junk food as he could and eventually defecating and urinating on himself before his Draft Board Physical.
“He literally crapped his pants when he had a chance to go to war.”
And this pants crappin hero, is the spokesman for the NRA, and Conservatives everywhere. Again, how embarrassing for them.

"Ted Nugent... a spokesman for Conservatives! How Embarrassing!"
Who is Ted Nugent? Besides being a over the hill Rocker and draft dodger? A little background:
~Ted Nugent has had two wives and has eight children, including three out of wedlock in two liaisons almost 30 years apart.
~In 2005 Nugent was involved in a legal battle for not paying enough child support for a child he had out of wedlock in 1995. It was finally resolved when Nugent was ordered to pay $3,500 in child support.
~Nugent was married to his first wife, Sandra Jezowski, from 1970 to 1979. They had three children, son Theodore Tobias "Toby" Nugent, and daughters Sasha and Starr Nugent. Sandra died in a car crash in 1982.
~ His second marriage was to Shemane Deziel. They married on January 21, 1989 and they have two children, son Rocco Winchester Nugent, and daughter Chantal Nugent.
~In 1978, Nugent began a relationship with seventeen-year-old Hawaii native Pele Massa. Due to the age difference they could not marry so Nugent joined Massa's parents in signing documents to make himself her legal guardian, (an arrangement that Spin magazine ranked as #63 on their list of the "100 Sleaziest Moments in Rock")
Sounds like a wonderful guy!

The 2nd amendment and the use of the word militia has nothing to do with the military, even back when we were fighting the revolution the colonists had great fear of the regulars or what was the Continental standing army.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."

Well then Ted's your man. He had such "great fear" of the military, he crapped his pants to avoid joining them.

So he was smart enough to avoid a war our politicians sold on a lie? Good for him...If more people weren't blinded by "patriotism" there would be less Americans willing to kill people around the world and take pictures with their dead corpses like they are trophies.
I guess a good Americans accepts their killing orders no matter how immoral the politician giving the orders.
Vietnam was state sponsered murder. I don't think America really thought Vietnam was going to land on our shores and begin killing us.
I really feel sorry for the people that were forced(by government) to fight in that unjust war.
I guess we now have a new discrimination..... “viewpoint discrimination,”
Any criticism here is just another example of the use of government power, via the mouth of the liberal nut job electorate crazies, to coerce americans to violate their constitutional rights!

Apparently Cicero considers the word "PATRIOTISM" TO BE A DIRTY WORD... something to be avoided and treated with disdain. Cic often displays his ignorance on this board, but seldom does he do it in such a shining fashion.
Just for your information Cicero... 25% of US forced in Vietnam were drafted, (as compared to 66% of draftees in WW2.) The vast majority of US troops who served in Vietnam enlisted... something I doubt you'd understand.

Yes, PATRIOTISM is one of the dirtiest words...Sacrificing your life and liberty in the name of patriotism is no different than blindly devoting yourself to faith and religion. Jim Jones followers were patriots. Going off to war without question, following orders to kill or be killed at the direction of immoral men, just because it's the patriotic thing to do is insane.
I don't blindly salute an inanimate symbol like a flag or blindly follow the man with the most medals on his chest. If I’m taking a life, it better be justified. Dropping me in a foreign country and making me the enemy, and being put in a survival position of kill or be killed isn’t justified. I won’t let blind patriotism suppress my conscience.

Maybe you could re-evaluate that....PATRIOTISM IS SACRIFICING YOUR LIFE AND LIBERTY FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS...LIKE YOU!!!!! We didn't join the military to specifically go to /fight in Vietnam...we did it becuase we believe!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
Well then Ted's your man. He had such "great fear" of the military, he crapped his pants to avoid joining them.
Joining means you do so by consent, draft means you do so by order but I guess you don't see the difference. Many Americans wouldn't even consider joining the military but they would die for what this country stands or should I say stood for. Being in the military makes you no more patriotic then those people here at home who are fighting to protect our rights, that includes the rights of those in the military.

That's exactly what I said...Patriotism is a BELIEF without question. It is sacrificing your individualism for the sake of collectivism, WITHOUT QUESTION. Unit, Core, God, Country - the individual doesn't even exist.
The Germans were able to create nationalist ferver in the 1930's that led to atrocities committed under the guise of patriotism. The My Lai Massacre was a result of patriotism...Killing without thinking, because your superior told you to because it is your patriotic duty
