Ya gotta love Ted Nugent!
You just gotta love Ted Nugent...you don't have to love his R rated on-stage antics, but you still gotta love his "in your face" mien...
If you're an observer of all things political you know of the "gang of ten" that made news this week. The "gang" basically caved to the dems, as so many republicans are want to do. Anyway, our politically incorrect buddy, Ted Nugent, wrote a good piece in his inimitable way, titled, Gang of Sellouts. Here are a couple of paragraphs:
If you're an observer of all things political you know of the "gang of ten" that made news this week. The "gang" basically caved to the dems, as so many republicans are want to do. Anyway, our politically incorrect buddy, Ted Nugent, wrote a good piece in his inimitable way, titled, Gang of Sellouts. Here are a couple of paragraphs:
Joining five Democrats to make up the Gang of Ten, five Republican senators tossed Sen. John McCain under his Straight Talk Express Energy bus.OK, that's more than a couple of paragraphs...but be sure to read the rest of the Wild Man's piece.
The five Republican senators (Graham, Thune, Chambliss, Corker, and Isakson) should be renamed the Gang of Sellouts.
The Gang of Ten is a bipartisan group of senators who recently offered an energy policy -- intentionally or stupidly otherwise -- that can only benefit Senator Obama, whose energy policy up until this point was to tell us to keep our tires just as liberals prefer Fedzilla: properly inflated.
McCain had Obama on the energy ropes and was scoring some big-time political points, but the Gang of Sellouts has let Obama off the ropes. Just when McCain was making headway, the Gang of Sellouts let the air out of his energy fight.
According to Kimberly Strassel’s August 8th article in The Wall Street Journal, the Gang of Ten’s energy policy is to allow four states to determine whether or not to allow drilling for oil on offshore federal land and deny drilling within 50 miles of our coasts and any drilling in ANWR. Oil companies would be allowed to explore for oil off Florida’s coasts. You know, like those stalwarts of environmentalism China, Cuba and India are planning to do in the next couple of years.
Additionally, the Gang of Ten would provide over $80 billion in tax credits for alternative fuels by eliminating $30 billion in tax breaks for oil companies, which of course ultimately comes out of American consumer's pockets. That’s right: raise taxes on the very companies that would invest in finding more real energy to help make America energy independent, while propping up more Fedzilla hoaxes like ethanol. The Emperor not only has no clothes, he's fat, wart-riddled and ugly.
Increasing taxes is never the right approach if the goal is to provide incentives to expand business, lower prices, and provide jobs. Only Democrats do not understand that raising taxes destroys incentives. One would think, even pray and dream, that Republicans -- even the Gang of Sellouts -- would know this.
