Ted Nugent prepares for NRA speech in Houston

Infinitely quotable rocker, hunter, and political activist Ted Nugent will be in Houston Sunday speaking on the closing day of the NRA’s convention at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Ted Nugent joins other big names such as Governor Rick Perry, Senator Ted Cruz, pundit Sarah Palin and radio host Glenn Beck in town to hold court in front of thousands of NRA members this weekend.

Nugent, who has been a Texas resident for about a decade, has plenty to say about the NRA (he’s a board member) and the freedom that drew him and his family to move to the Lone Star State.

When a person holds another person responsible for actions that are socially or morally irresponsible, and makes negative statements about the person that have no basis in fact, their blame is nothing more than sheer vitriol with the intent to incite opposition against the blameless party. Republicans have spent over four years blaming President Obama for their policies and agendas that have kept the nation from fully recovering the damage inherent with conservatives running the government. The effects and harm the Iraq War has caused this nation will plague Americans for generations, and none have suffered as much as America’s fighting forces and especially returning Veterans who served their country with distinction only to return home where jobs are scarce and living with the knowledge their sacrifice was predicated on a vicious lie. On Tuesday, a coward leveled blame on President Obama for the plight of Veterans who survived the perils of war only to give up and end their own lives at home, and as usually is the case with Ted Nugent, his reason for blaming the President is as pathetic and insane as the washed up rocker and NRA gun fanatic.

There is an epidemic of suicide ravaging Veterans and some actively serving soldiers, and Nugent blamed the frightening statistics on the soldiers’ frustration with the President for “violating the Constitution,” and because he is “violating the oath that they’re dying for” because according to Nugent, “the President is a groomed America hater.” Nugent did not stop there, he said with utmost certainty that “warrior heroes are killing themselves because they are in absolute frustration and heartbreak that their boss, their Commander-In-Chief violates the Constitution while their hero warrior blood brothers are being blown to smithereens and blown up while executing their oath to the same Constitution the president, the vice president, and the attorney general violate.” Nugent did not cite any examples of how the President or anyone in his Administration is violating the Constitution or their oath to defend it, but he is certain President Obama is a Nazi who is actively attempting to destroy the United States. His baseless vitriol aside, Nugent is the last American to claim to know what soldiers and returning Veterans experience during active duty, or what their mindset is when they return home.

7. Ted Nugent: Military Service Members Are Committing Suicide Because Obama Is "Violating" The Constit

May 2013

In an appearance on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' radio show, NRA board member Ted Nugent blamed the epidemic of suicides among veterans and active duty military on frustration with President Obama for supposedly "violating" the Constitution.

Nugent, who has appeared on Jones' show several times, told the host that the military is frustrated with Obama for "violating the oath that they're dying for," which is leading to an unprecedented increase in suicides.

Nugent went on to describe the Obama administration as "treasonous" and also characterized the president as a "groomed America hater."

On Sunday, Nugent will appear at the NRA's Annual Meeting for an event titled "Freedom Is Not Free - Repaying Our Debt to Heros [sic]" which is billed as a tribute to "those who gave all to utilize our precious freedoms as provided by the ultimate sacrifices of the US Military warriors and their families."

From the April 30 edition of The Alex Jones Show:
