The
Waterfest Concert Series in Oshkosh has booked Ted Nugent a classic rock
artist who was a superstar in the ‘70s. Mr. Nugent over the years has
become increasingly vocal during his performances using the stage as a
sounding board for his extreme political beliefs. A person only has to
“google” his name to get dozens of “you tube” videos showing his outrageous behavior while performing.
In Longview Texas the Republican Party of Gregg County requested the
city cancel Nugent’s concert after viewing these videos and feeling his
act was not appropriate. The city complied and Nugent was paid $16,000
to fulfill the contract. The money was raised through donations.
Agree or disagree with Nugent’s political views, we all can agree in a
nonpartisan voice that his use of anger, intimidation and calls for
violence is inappropriate and will damage Waterfest’s reputation should
he be allowed to perform. This has nothing to do with the First
Amendment; it has everything to do with extremist, threatening views
that cannot possibly help anyone and hurt the entire community.
I
ask Oshkosh Chamber Members, our city/county and state leaders and all
citizens to immediately contact Waterfest Inc. and the Chamber and
request they cancel Ted Nugent’s performance. This will reflect on all
of us in Oshkosh and the Fox valley in negative ways for many years to
come if he is allowed to appear.
With the current rise of Washington DC resident Eric Hovde as the front runner in the republican senatorial primary, Tommy Thompson sees his future in politics as non-existent. With Time running out, Tommy is getting desperate. Time to call in some help!
Chief Justice Roberts
squandered the opportunity to restore judicial, financial and
legislative sanity to a government that by any sane person’s standards
is insane and addicted to centralized federal control of our lives.
Because
our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government hold the
10th Amendment in contempt, I’m beginning to wonder if it would have
been best had the South won the Civil War. Our Founding Fathers’ concept
of limited government is dead.
Because of the chief justice’s
vote, Fedzilla just burped and is now prepared to gobble up even more of
our tax dollars, more of our GDP and limit even more opportunity in the
private sector
Earlier this spring Nugent was in the news after comments he made
saying he would be “dead or in jail by this time next year” if President
Barack Obama is re-elected.
During the rally, Nugent joked that
he was very politically engaged and that there were Secret Service
agents in back just to prove that, which was met with laughter.
During his speech, Nugent also called the president “a Chicago gangster.”
PERFECT, exactly what he was hoping terrible Ted said and reached exactly who he wanted to reach!
