Rocker and hunting impresario Ted Nugent is another right wing celebrity posing as a political columnist. Recently, Pat Boone dreamt of a popular uprising removing Obama and installing him as U.S. President, while Chuck Norris suggested secession as a response to Obama’s election. In his most recent column Nugent writes that, “The current gang of political punks, scoundrels and crooks in Washington DC are not worthy to stand in the shadow of the statue of Thomas Jefferson at the Jefferson Memorial in DC.”
He describes a growing movement among the states:
“…the Great Republic of Texas, under the leadership of the good Governor Rick Perry, is joining the sixteen other states that have already made their defiant, sovereign statement of autonomy in the right way.
These states have now evoked the Tenth Amendment and declared their sovereignty to put the brakes on Emperor Obama's mob-like fiscal mandates in a dangerous attempt to strangle the liberty out of states by forcing states to accept the so-called stimulus money and thereby become slaves to Fedzilla control.”
He claims that an “…immoral spending spree has wiped out 30 percent of the stock market since Emperor Obama's inauguration. With this unprecedented gluttony, Emperor Obama is bankrupting the future of our children and grandchildren. Nice change, Emperor. By the way, you have no clothes and it hurts to look at you.
He urges Texas Governor Perry to “…chart our own economic destiny and recovery by refusing the stimulus money, freezing state spending, cutting state taxes across the board, and offering tax incentives to existing and new businesses.
Additionally, I urge Perry to immediately call a conference of Texas business leaders and request they develop a Texas Economic Roadmap for Recovery. Let Texas lead the way.
Like a flooded river that has left its banks, Fedzilla has trampled on the Constitution by ignoring the Tenth Amendment. Texas is reminding Fedzilla that our founding fathers wrote the Tenth Amendment for the very ugly reasons we are witnessing today. Emperor Obama's economic tyranny must be stopped. We must tell Emperor Obama to not mess with Texas. Don't tread on me or any of us.
In the spirit of the brave defenders who gave birth to Texas by giving their lives at the Alamo, I say, "Remember the Tenth Amendment!"
From movements urging military and law enforcement personnel to refuse orders given by President Obama to the We Surround Them movement, a boiling cauldron of right wing groups is employing the rhetoric of violent overthrow to move supporters to act against the federal government. Only time will tell if it is a noisy cacophony of cranky dead-enders or a threat to American domestic security.

"a boiling cauldron of right wing groups is employing the rhetoric of violent overthrow to move supporters to act against the federal government."
Ron, can you provide some examples? I think you made this up.
Except for the elitist members of congress and the president, the federal government is made up of people just like me. We all have an aversion to bullets flying. We have all the ammo we need in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
"...while Chuck Norris suggested succession as a response to Obama’s election..."
If you don't know the difference between SUCCESSION and SECESSION, then you are unfit to be writing about the subject.
Or, for that matter, to be writing about politics at all.
This is hilarious. Only a furrowed-brow, bed-wetting liberal would be concerned about "a threat to American security" when ordinary people use their 1st amemdment rights to encourage others to use their 10th and 2nd amendment rights to maintain freedom. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Check the record. The overwhelming majority of domestic terrorism in the last 4 decades has been committed by leftist groups. The rest of us just quietly and peacefully seek respect for our rights. They are NOT government-granted priveleges! We don't need anyone's permission or approval to excercise them. It's what we do!
Ultimately the secession rhetoric will amount to little more than talk, although there are no doubt some who would like to characterize it as "a threat to American domestic security" in order to profile and marginalize as "domestic terrorists" those who take their Constitutional rights seriously.
If you discount for a little hyperbole, Nugent et al are going about it exactly the right way. Nobody is seriously talking about violence, but people are starting to stand up to Washington, DC and letting the politicians know that the Constitution means what it says: the government's powers are few and limited, and the bulk of the power rests with the states, and with the people.
We absolutely should secede from the union. The rift between the Liberals & the Conservatives has become so great it might be best for us to part ways and let the U.S. become the Socialist States of America.
The author of this is a melodramatic tool.
goof, yes you, the author
Ron Moore writes, "...Ted Nugent is another right wing celebrity posing as a political columnist."
This is ok. Turnabout is fair play. Political columnists are well known for posing as intelligent people.

"The rift between the Liberals & the Conservatives has become so great"
I agree Tom. If this was a marriage, can anyone doubt that we would be in divorce court due to incompatability issues? I've had enough!
You know you have problems when a segment of the population feels it's a threat to their security when military and police who swear to uphold the constitution consider disobeying orders that attempt to circumvent that sacred document. So sad.
I say we give Texas back to the Mexicans.
I can see from most of the responses above that the majority of this country is still under the drone-like influence of this corrupt Ultra-Liberal Government. Wake up, people! It's called THINKING FOR YOURSELVES. It's sad that most Americans today want o be force-fed their information and believe in whatever happens to be on their Liberal orientated televisions and newspapers.
