NUGENT: Trading freedom for free stuff
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
The Internet is full of health-related studies and articles. Most of them provide similar, age-old wisdom: Eat right, exercise and don't smoke. There are no guarantees, but following this timeless advice generally leads to a longer, healthier life. Published February 16, 2012
NUGENT: Whitney Houston's squandered gift
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
Another great talent has been silenced, probably because of abusing dope or booze and the criminal, irresponsible lifestyle that goes with that insane behavior. What a waste. Published February 13, 2012
NUGENT: The Great Keystone XL Pipeline Massacre
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
President Obama's decision to put a bullet in the back of the head of the Keystone XL pipeline is all the proof you need to know that his modus operandi is to sidle up to environmental green-energy crackpots instead of creating thousands of American jobs and honestly pursuing energy independence for America.

NUGENT: Tale of the GOP tape
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
Here is how I see the GOP primary race shaping up: This is by no means an endorsement of any of the four GOP candidates. I am impressed with each of them for a variety of reasons and adamantly believe that any one of them would be monstrously superior to President Obama, who has charted a course for the destruction of America as we know it.

NUGENT: Romney shouldn't release tax returns
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
By the time you read this, Mitt Romney may have released his tax returns. Let's hope not. So long as Mr. Romney or any other prospective or elected public official has not made his money illegally, no person's financial status is any of my business or yours. Published January 23, 2012
NUGENT: Fast and Furious stinks
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
The United States of America has turned into bizarro land. Think of this: Our very own Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), under the direct guidance of the attorney general of the United States - America's top cop, mind you - not only allowed, but encouraged American gun dealers to sell about 2,000 guns to known punks involved in the drug trade in order to trace the guns to Mexican drug cartels.

NUGENT: Bain Capital isn't the problem
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
The first thing we need to fix is the lexicon. I have heard both President Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney lay claim to how many jobs they created during their tenures in public office. Published January 17, 2012
NUGENT: God bless BP
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
Not so long ago, BP was the goat of big business in the eyes of many people for the disastrous April 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Conservationists such as myself who also recognize that big business, including big oil, is what fuels our economy, have had our radar finely tuned to the efforts and progress of healing the Gulf's environment and economy since the spill.

NUGENT: Diversity perversity
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
Diversity is America's greatest strength, according to the left and its socialist, Marxist, commie cohorts and co-conspirators running rampant across the country. Published January 9, 2012
NUGENT: Pay lawmakers what they're worth: 10 bucks
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
In the inescapable, common-sense world to which producers of America are hopelessly addicted and in which they proudly reside, compensation is determined by dreams, work ethic, skill, knowledge, ability, expertise, level of effort and, last but not least, results. Put that in your merciless pay pipe and suck on it till you drop, Occupiers. Published January 2, 2012
NUGENT: In the new year, we must be bold
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
As I do every year, I'm going to make 2012 a bold, wonderful year. Let all Americans who care commit to being like the majestic American bison that turns and faces the howling storm. Published December 29, 2011
NUGENT: Christmas spirit found in cash-filled wallet
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
With Christmas less than a week away, the hustle and bustle of preparing for this national holiday can cause one to lose sight of the meaning of Christmas. Published December 22, 2011
NUGENT: Corzine the Corrupt
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
Where there is billowing, suffocating smoke, there generally is fire. The dark smoke of corruption is billowing around former Democratic senator, New Jersey governor, Goldman Sachs bigwig and MF Global Chairman and CEO Jon Corzine. A pall of suspicion has followed Corzine the Corrupt's career like flies at a summer barbecue. Published December 19, 2011
NUGENT: Poor parental choices make poor children
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
The truth can be very ugly, rather discomforting and downright painful, but it remains the truth, whether you like it or admit it or not. The U.S. Census Bureau recently reported that the number of American children living in poverty is on the rise, with almost one-third of American children living in what the bureau defines as poverty. Let's make one thing perfectly clear: This is not the fault of the kids. Published December 16, 2011
NUGENT: Occupy stooges on parade
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
At least the Three Stooges were hilarious. The Occupy stooges are much different, though they certainly qualify for classic numskull stooges nonetheless. They are dirty, political punks. I seriously doubt the majority of them could identify five reasons why they are protesting. No one else in the country can. Published December 14, 2011
NUGENT: Captain Trainwreck's White House whitewash
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
The current Occupiers of the White House will claim the slight dip in the unemployment rate from 9 percent to 8.6 percent is proof the economy is beginning to lumber out of the recession they imposed on it. Don't believe the spin. The economy continues to sink. Once the employment data is analyzed and the economic truth comes out, it will be seen that one of the probable reasons for the dip in the unemployment rate is that 315,000 more Americans have quit looking for work, making them persona non grata when it comes to being counted in employment statistics. Published December 9, 2011
NUGENT: All-American Thanksgiving Day
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
On this Thanksgiving, when all of us have so many reasons to be thankful, pausing to give thanks is more and more an afterthought in America. Published November 23, 2011
NUGENT: No more child-abuse excuses
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
We don't really care anymore? Oh, sure, some of us are shocked to the core about the child-sex-abuse scandal at Penn State University. Some of us are genuinely angry and wonder aloud on talk-radio stations how this could happen again. Published November 18, 2011
NUGENT: Nobody needs Michael Moore's hypocritical advice
By Ted Nugent - The Washington Times
Idiots are easily manipulated. They are useful pawns, and that's about it. Consider the stooges of the fledgling movement "Occupy Wall Street." These useful idiots are clamoring for social justice, as if they don't have enough of that already. Published October 14, 2011
DECKER: Obama, soon to be unemployed
By Brett M. Decker - The Washington Times
The latest unemployment numbers are bad news for millions of Americans. President Obama is among them. The fact announced Friday that unemployment remained stuck at a dreadful 9.1 percent in September proves that Mr. Obama's big-government economic machinations have completely failed. The recession technically ended in June 2009, but the jobless rate has been over 9 percent the whole time since then except for two months. When the 2012 election finally rolls around, Barack should be the latest to join the unemployment line. Published October 10, 2011
