And being sick is a crime.

Welcome to Erewhon. Erewhon welcomes your rich and your overfed, yearning to breathe free.

oldfarthenry		2011-12-19 11:56:41 AM

So is being an idiot, Nuge.

unyon		2011-12-19 12:00:15 PM

So is being a douchebag.

SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS

Marcus Aurelius		2011-12-19 12:05:27 PM

Only you can prevent yourself from being a total asshole.

Quasar		2011-12-19 12:06:06 PM

Second, we need to punish poor decisions instead of rewarding them.

Absolutely.

Let's start with Wall Street.

Aarontology		2011-12-19 12:09:11 PM

I thought it was all Obama's fault.

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat		2011-12-19 12:11:12 PM

Damned LIEbral entertainment industry!

NuttierThanEver		2011-12-19 12:11:41 PM

Just like the draft was back during VietNam you draft dodging pansy. You talk a good game about the machismo of a gun but whent the time came for you to possibly have to face an opponent with a gun instead of Bambi you shiat yourself like the pussy you are.

Barfmaker		2011-12-19 12:12:46 PM

If Nugent had a clue it would die of loneliness.

EatHam		2011-12-19 12:15:18 PM

well, for ted it is a choice, given that he is rich right now.

WorldCitizen		2011-12-19 12:18:06 PM

Being an asshole is a choice. I see he's made his.

what_now		2011-12-19 12:21:26 PM

shiatting yourself to avoid the draft is a choice. Being poor is sometimes a situation.

oldebayer		2011-12-19 12:25:29 PM

As opposed to, say, being born with a diminished brain capacity.

miss diminutive		2011-12-19 12:29:28 PM

It's the choice of a new generation.

GAT_00		2011-12-19 12:31:06 PM

Much in the same way being born a slave is. You might be able to escape, but it's damn hard.

GWLush		2011-12-19 12:31:56 PM

This just in.. Ted Nugent is a bag of douche filled with stupidity and deer urine.

cryinoutloud		2011-12-19 12:35:28 PM

A gun nut who's a douchebag? Surprise, surprise.

sweetmelissa31		2011-12-19 12:37:41 PM

And what does Larry the Cable Guy have to say about this?

cannotsuggestaname		2011-12-19 12:40:56 PM

Ah, the Nuge never fails to deliver.

I_Am_Weasel		2011-12-19 12:59:34 PM

This makes that "Victoria Jackson & Ted Nugent" show I have tickets for all that more interesting. It'll be a live version of duelling banjos.

Ooh. If I were you I'd wear a steel cable around my waist and anchor it to something really strong so that the quantum singularity of idiocy that is created doesn't suck you right in.

lordaction		2011-12-19 01:14:12 PM

Actually it is. Everyone that I meet that is unemployed/poor I offer a job too. Guess what, no takers ($50K+ a year). Hired maybe 5 people this year and need another 5-7. People don't want to put the effort into what it takes not to be poor.

Hershey Highway Patrol		2011-12-19 01:17:33 PM

Kind of like that whole draft dodging amnesty thing Ted?

Kazan		2011-12-19 01:18:25 PM

cryinoutloud: A gun nut who's a douchebag? Surprise, surprise.

a gun nut who literally faked mental illness by shiatting himself, repeatedly, and not cleaning it up to avoid the draft.

Yeah! And look what he has built that into!! I've heard people say this before, but coming from a multimillionaire who has no and I mean no god given talents I could bring myself to believe him.

Diogenes		2011-12-19 01:30:35 PM

Lift yourselves up you lazy sots! But first let me cut the bottom rungs off the ladder. Now jump, poor person! Jump for my amusement!

Shhhh, everyone. Look over there - it's the rare and beautiful Misanthropic White Knight of the 'You could get a job if you really wanted to'.

Troll.

keylock71		2011-12-19 01:33:47 PM

Ted Nugent?

Nope, still wouldn't piss on this jackass if he were on fire.

Be gone, you has-been...

Sure seems like the best career path washed up celebrities can take these days is to be come a far right wing nut-job and say stupid shiat in the media.

FloydA		2011-12-19 01:34:09 PM

Maybe so, but being a moronic, no-talent ass-clown is written into your DNA.

tallguywithglasseson		2011-12-19 01:37:58 PM

Exactly. What' he's not telling you is that the position pays 50k a year for what, 2 years ago, paid 150k. It's probably a technical job that he is requiring 5-10 years experience plus a half dozen certifications. The people who can qualify for those jobs know it's a bad deal, and would rather keep looking for someone willing to pay them what their labor is actually worth.

Yeah? What you hiring for?

Gay sex.

And, I'm sure, just as in days of yore, there will be a reasonable moving allowance to get to Alabama for those jobs.

Ghastly		2011-12-19 01:46:32 PM

Everytime the Nuge opens his pie hole all I hear is the chickenhawk who bragged about how he shiat his pants for a week to get out of going to Viet Nam.

I'm wondering if he's tried Craigslist or if what he is trying to hire for is illegal. (Hint: it's gay sex)

Aarontology: I thought it was all Obama's fault.

Actually, it is. He continues to promote a sense of entitlement amongst the poor and provides no incentive to them to improve their lot. That and the fact that he is driving the economy over cliff reminiscent of Thelma and Louise.

There sure is a lot of liberal butthurt in this thread. Get over it.

Shhh!!! It looks like we might get lucky enough to see a whole flock of Misanthropic White Knights of the 'You could get a job if you really wanted to'. Listen, you can already hear them trilling, "Obama ruined our economy!"

You must be a real charmer if you can't get people to take a $50K job. So what's this awesome opportunity you have to offer out of curiosity?

Conservatives have this neat tactic of preaching that the poor should try harder to better themselves and their lot in life, then taking away all the tools the poor would need to do so. It's called "blaming the victim". Though to bring down to the level that conservatives could understand, "Stop hitting yourself!"

birchman		2011-12-19 02:07:19 PM

50% of Americans live below the poverty line. So Ted's telling me that there are enough high paying jobs out there for every single one of those folks to have one? Maybe he should go work for lordaction at his bullshiat factory because he's pretty good at spewing it.

Wait? I thought Obama was supposed to be creating more jobs? You mean to tell me there are that many unstaffed jobs because people are just too lazy to fill them?

Rather coherent argument...for conservatives.

So then being poor isn't a choice. It's being a victim of Obama's policies, and Ted Nugent was just trying to deflect blame away from his messiah.
