"I'm part of a very great experiment in self-government where we the people determine our own pursuit of happiness and our own individual freedom and liberty, not to be confused with the Barack Obama gang who believes in we the sheeple and actually is attempting to re-implement the tyranny of King George that we escaped from in 1776," Nugent said in a recent interview with Guns.com at the NBC-sponsored Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show. "And if you want another Concord Bridge, I got some buddies."
Nugent appears to be referring to the beginning of the Revolutionary war, when colonial and British troops assembled at the North Bridge in Concord, Mass. in 1775 broke a standoff when one soldier opened fire. While it's still unclear which side fired the first shot, it was later immortalized by poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, who suggested that "the shot heard 'round the world" was fired by an American.

I wonder who's going to be changing his shitty diapers while he's fighting this revolution. He's a hypocrite.

(5,342 posts)guns taken away- permanently. Not because they are a serious threat to "the government", but more likely a threat to their own neighbors, their families, and their local police.
Look at it this way- if some yahoo makes public his desire to shoot up a school or an office, he's going to (deservedly) attract the attention of law enforcement.

It's time to put this idiot away. He's advocating treason.

(5,756 posts)He's a blowhard and we all know it. I doubt he's a serious threat but I'm hoping he's being monitored still.
But the ABSOLUTE WORST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO ARREST HIM. That would give him so much free publicity and he could say the arrest was to try to silence him in his exercise of his rights. It would be a propaganda jackpot for him.
Until, and unless, he actually strikes up a brigade actively headed for a federal facility then IGNORE HIM.

(21,977 posts)"Second rate" is being very generous to Ted. I'd call him a fourth-rate guitarist and rock "star." As a warrior, somewhere below even that.
