My rock solid advice for grads by Ted Nugent

Exclusive: Ted Nugent offers no-whine keys to a successful career.

A huge Nuge congratulation is in order to all the 2013 college and high school graduates across the land. You should be very proud of yourselves for a job well done.

More important than well deserved congratulations is my Uncle Ted Rock Solid proven advice to the millions of young people ready to charge forth into their new independent lives.

You will not get the following advice from your parents, professors, or government wonks. This advice comes from a lifetime of incredible sweat, sacrifice and indefatigable dogged determination to be the best musician and person thatI can. I still practice my guitar each day with a fiery passion.

Know that your handsome diploma means little to the producers out here. What matters to us most is a projection of positive, sincere buoyancy, tireless work ethic and a gung-ho commitment to be the absolute best that you can be. Unless you have these characteristics, we don’t want or need you. Keep your toothbrush at mommy and daddy’s house. You’re not going anywhere.

No one owes you. You are not entitled to anything except an opportunity, a chance to succeed. What you do with opportunity is up to you.

Everything comes from effort. You will only get what you put into it. Success comes to those who get up an hour earlier and stay an hour later and do a better job with fewer or no sick days.

Identify your professional brass ring and then get after it like a hungry animal. Push yourself to the point of exhaustion. And then push yourself harder.

Rock legend Ted Nugent shoots bow and arrows with veterans, talks technique before rock show

“Not a day goes by when I’m not contacted by someone doing something to help the military in their family,” Nugent said. “They call me and say ‘Hey Ted come by this hospital’ or ‘Hey Ted, we’re having a barbecue’ or ‘Hey Ted, we’ve got some machine guns, come shoot up some ammo.’ Now what am I going to do, say no thanks?”


Ted Nugent, left, shows Doug Largent a different technique for drawing back a bow at Exodus Place in Grand Rapids Tuesday. Largent, a member of the veterans reemergent program at Exodus as well as the assistant chef, said meeting Nugent was a ‘dream come true.’

As soon as Ted Nugent’s trademark camouflage cowboy hat poked into the cafeteria at Exodus Place in Grand Rapids, Doug Largent’s eyes lit up.

Nugent, in town to play a three-pronged rock show at Van Andel Arena with fellow musical veterans REO Speedwagon and Styx, stopped by the facility to shoot bows with the men on their way back into society after struggling with homelessness or prison, many of whom are veterans.

Exodus Place implemented bow and arrow shooting in February sponsored by the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), which has brought the men together, providing them with something to focus on, Exodus pastor Ray Townsend said.

“These men finally have a target in life,” Townsend said. “They can focus on one thing, that bullseye. It’s been amazing the change it’s made in their lives.”

That rings true with Largent who was overjoyed when Nugent gave him some one-on-one bow instruction.

“I’ve been a Ted Nugent fan since I was 17 and my first concert was Nugent,” Largent said. “Ted Nugent is such a down-to-earth rock star and so friendly.”

The 5-year Nuge Immigration Plan by Ted Nugent

We need a real full-length, undefeatable border fence built. All illegal men in America should be required to work on building the fence, to be completed in one year. We would pay them minimum wage, provide food and shelter, and provide them English and American history classes at night. Everyone wins.

If we get just one thing right regarding the immigration confusion, let’s demand common sense from our professional political clowns who could and would write a 300-page instruction manual on how to tie your shoes.

Everything worthwhile comes from maximum effort. All legal immigrants who are willing to bust their hump and prove they want to be a glowing, positive asset to America, like always, are welcome. Everyone else should be forced to vamoose back to Mexico, especially the crazy people who want America to become as rotten as the place they escaped. We don’t need any more bloodsuckers.

In America, nothing worth having comes easy or cheap. We should erect tough hurdles and tests in front of all immigrants to deter those not willing to try hard. Those who are willing to apply Herculean effort to become a productive American should have a welcome mat put out in front of them, losers not so much. We already have way more than we can handle.

The Nuge Immigration Plan (NIP) takes five years for even illegal immigrants to become Americans. Until then, they should be treated like indentured servants, meaning that they have to earn their citizenship.

The NIP is not an amnesty program. Amnesty is for left-wing mollycoddlers, losers, bureaucrats and hippies. Occupy that.

NRA’S 142nd annual freedom party a huge success by Ted Nugent

Americans celebrate 2nd Amendment in Houston.

I raced off stage in Tampa after throttling my 6511th high energy rockout, mopped up as much dripping sweat as I could, changed into dry clothes, grabbed a Gatorade and a sack of food, hung onto my gorgeous wife Shemane and headed to the airport lickity split.

We landed in Houston an hour and half later, met by a commando in a black SUV and raced to the hotel across from the jam-packed Sam Brown convention center.

Greeted by smiling, friendly families, cops, military heroes and wonderful Texans galore, we settled in for the night and prepared for what we surely knew would be a grand day of ultimate freedom celebration with great Americans from all fifty states.

Early Sunday morning, just like the last twenty or so years in a row for us, we gingerly walked into a record setting attendance of more than 80,000 NRA member families, united to stand up and fight for our sacred God-given, individual, Second Amendment-guaranteed right to keep and bear arms.

The positive energy is always a glorious force to reckon with at these NRA events, but this year, in the face of the most blatant, unambiguous attack ever on our rights, the mood was more up-beat and determined than I have ever seen before.

When the president of the United States has the audacity to dare claim that NRA members and law-abiding, gun-owning families in America don’t care about saving innocent lives because we didn’t fall for his counterproductive background check scam, one need’s to look no further for inspiration to stop the vicious lies and push back hard against such indecency.

Ted Nugent Eviscerates ‘Soulless’ Media in Exclusive Backstage Interview

“Honesty and integrity, sense of decency and, especially in the media, dedication to accuracy is something that must come from within,” he said before addressing the media specifically. “Those you who violate the premise of honest journalism, you are so feeble and soulless you don’t even know it…I will continue to go Piers Morgan on you — know that. Brace thyselves.“

Legendary rocker and conservative firebrand Ted Nugent takes pleasure in, as he put it in his speech at this year’s NRA convention, “dancing on the skulls” of dishonest and hypocritical members of the media. In an exclusive backstage interview with TheBlaze on Sunday, the NRA board member savaged the “grossly unprofessional” and “sinfully biased” so-called journalism peddled by the mainstream media.

“They’ll never get it,” Nugent told TheBlaze in a dimly lit green room at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. “And that’s why I emphasize the soullessness–I’m pretty good with adjectives but I feel helpless coming up with one incriminating enough or descriptive enough to identify those who would hate freedom, hate the right to self-defense and smirk at the widow of a Navy SEAL for celebrating the freedom that all warriors dedicate and volunteer their lives to fight for.”

The “smirk” Nugent was referring to occurred in the press room during the NRA convention this weekend where an unidentified individual, presumably a reporter (he was wearing a media badge), told this author that it was “weird” that Taya Kyle, the widow of slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, would speak at the NRA event after her husband was killed with a gun.

“Make no mistake, my enemy looks and smells exactly what the enemy of freedom should look and smell like: Hygiene challenged Michael Moores, G-force lying Nancy ‘you don’t have to read it, you need to sign it’ Pelosis, deceptive scam artist like Dianne ‘I’ve got a .38, you don’t get one’ Feinstein,” a passionate Nugent told TheBlaze.

Nugent fires up crowd on final day of NRA convention (Video)

“I noticed the protesters,” said Nugent during his speech. “And I notice this all the time, both of them,” he said to laughter from the NRA crowd.

As the final speaker at the National Rifle Association convention in downtown Houston, legendary guitarist and 2nd Amendment rock star Ted Nugent implored an enthusiastic crowd to increase NRA membership 20-fold as the “culture war” over guns continues.

“I want to show them how much we will fight for freedom,” he said as the crowd stood and cheered.

Nugent had just spent two hours signing autographs for the same fans who lined up by the hundreds just to shake his hand and thank him for aligning his 2nd Amendment beliefs with their own.

“We should be allowed to have arms, my goodness,” said Houstonian and NRA member Zeke Young. “That’s in the Constitution.”

Nugent, in a speech he has repeated consistently over the years, told his choir that the Constitution is the only document he needs to carry a gun concealed or not.

“And we don’t think anyone should be exempted because of political correctness or political pressure,” said NRA member Wilma Heckman, of Colorado, when asked about gun control measures recently voted down in Congress. “It is the heart that kills people, not guns.”

The Saul Alinsky plot to vilify guns by Ted Nugent

Guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens stop crime at least 2 million times each year. NEA-controlled social engineering indoctrination camps produce way too many kids who are dumber than a Texas fence post.

Like the brainwashing jihad running amok among government goons and most of America’s media, our social engineering indoctrination camps (formerly known as the public school system) clearly have it in for guns.

This is not surprising since these camps are controlled by the National Education Association, which is the largest contributor to the bigger/more-control government-approved party (formerly known as the Democratic Party).

Members of the bigger/more-control government-approved party believe guns are evil things. They believe the GOP is operating a sinister covert plan to funnel guns into inner cities so that minorities can blow holes in each other and thereby eliminate the voting base of the bigger/more-control government-approved party.

Hardly a day goes by without some kid being expelled from an NEA-controlled social engineering indoctrination camp for wearing a pro-gun T-shirt or simply drawing a picture of a gun.

While liberals proclaim they are the vanguards of free speech and tolerance, that protection only applies to their leftist, dope-inspired agenda that destroys everything it touches.

The purpose of kicking little Billy out of school for drawing a picture of a gun or wearing a pro-gun T-shirt or eating a locked and loaded pop-tart is to simply vilify guns, or in the words of Eric “Fast & Furious” Holder, to “brainwash” Americans against the Second Amendment. Achtung, baby!

Ted Nugent: ‘Abortion, Not Guns, Is Eliminating Inner-City Population’

He goes on to say if children “were taught the truth about guns, the leftist plan to destroy the Second Amendment unravels and swirls down the drain like body parts of the murdered babies of the Philadelphia Angel of Death.”

Ted Nugent takes aim at public school systems and President Obama with his latest blog post titled “The Saul Alinsky Plot To Vilify Guns.”

On the right-wing website WND, the outspoken rocker labels public schools as “social engineering indoctrination camps,” and claims that those “camps” are “Intentionally sending the message to kids and parents alike that guns are evil. Commie community organizer Saul Alinsky [the polarizing figure who is celebrated for his methods of community organizing] would be proud.”

He argues that Obama and his ilk are working the education system, Saul Alinsky-style, to destroy gun rights in America.

The Nuge rails against the National Education Association (“the largest contributor to the bigger/more-control government-approved party [formerly known as the Democratic Party],” he writes), and paints a scenario where students get thrown out of schools for expressing fondness for guns, and then go home, only to play (violent) video games:

“Hardly a day goes by without some kid being expelled from an NEA-controlled social engineering indoctrination camp for wearing a pro-gun T-shirt or simply drawing a picture of a gun… The purpose of kicking little Billy out of school for drawing a picture of a gun or wearing a pro-gun T-shirt or eating a locked and loaded pop-tart is to simply vilify guns…Kicking little Billy out of school provides him even more time to play video games, many of which are violent.”
