NEW YORK (AP) - Why would Lance Bass want to go into space, when he could be home on the range with Ted Nugent?

The 'N Sync singer was rejected this week in his bid to visit the International Space Station because his sponsors were unable to come up with the $20 million fee in time.

But for just $1 million, Nugent has offered to have the boy band member over to his Michigan ranch to teach him bow-hunting skills. The guitarist and outdoorsman said Bass could then join him on a weeklong hunt, ``where he'll be taught a greater appreciation for nature and gravity as he hunts, kills, cleans and cooks for himself.''

``Bass needs to quit worrying about going into outer space and embrace and celebrate life by learning how to kill his own food,'' Nugent said Tuesday. ``A slab of flesh on the back of a deer is the finest source of protein on the planet.''

The 53-year-old rocker said he'd sweeten the deal by ``throwing in a few guitar lessons.''

Nugent is a National Rifle Association board member whose books include ``God, Guns & Rock 'n' Roll'' and ``Kill it and Grill It: A Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish.'' He says he'll kill 100 deer this year, most of which he'll donate to homeless shelters.

I'd like to see that little bastard try to bowhunt with the master. This is quite difficult. You actually have to be within 20-30 yards of the deer to make a clean kill. And bucks aren't stupid. They can sense human presence miles away. Especially if you're the excitable type, they can smell your fear.

BAD AMERICAN

Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2001

Written by Ted Nugent, the rock singer and hunter/naturalist, upon hearing that California Senators B. Boxer and D. Feinstein denounced him for being a "gun owner" and a "Rock Star".

This was his response after telling the senators about his past contributions to children's charities and scholarship foundations which have totaled more than $13.7 million in the last 5 years!!
:::
I'm a Bad American-this pretty much sums it up for me. I like big trucks, big boats, big houses, and naturally, pretty women.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some midlevel governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies.

I don't care about appearing compassionate.

I think playing with toy guns doesn't make you a killer. I believe ignoring your kids and giving them Prozac might.

I think I'm doing better than the homeless.

I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized.

I have the right not to be tolerant of others because they are different,
weird or make me mad.
This is my life to live, and not necessarily up to others expectations.

I know what SEX is and there are not varying degrees of it.

I don't celebrate Kwanzaa.
But if you want to that's fine; I just
don't feel like everyone else should have to.

I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy Queen shake, a pack of cigarettes, or hotel room you do it in English.
As of matter of fact, if you are an American citizen you should speak English.
My uncles and forefathers shouldn't have had to die in vain so you can leave the
countries you were born in to come disrespect ours, and make us bend
to your will. Get over it.

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry butt if you're
running from them after they tell you to stop.
If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the previous line.

I don't use the excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for
unpopular opinions or actions.

I know how to count votes and I feel much safer letting a machine with political affiliation do a recount when needed.

I know what the definition of lying is, and it isn't based on the word "is"-ever.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you
qualify for any special loan programs, gov't sponsored bank loans, etc., so you can open a hotel, 7-Eleven, trinket shop, or any thing
else, while the indigenous peoples can't get past a high school
education because they can't afford it.

I didn't take the initiative in inventing the Internet.

I thought the Taco Bell dog was funny.

I want them to bring back safe and sane fireworks.

I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T
or Marilyn Manson sang, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to that
crap from someone else's car when I'm stopped at a red light.
But I respect your right to.

I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment
than working at Blockbuster or Jack In The Box.

I don't want to eat or drink anything with the words light, lite or
fat-free on the package.

Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives
in vain and defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell
me it's a living document ever changing and is open to interpretation.
The guys who wrote it were light years ahead of anyone today, and they
meant what they said - now leave the document alone, or there's going
to be trouble.

I don't hate the rich. I help the poor.

I know wrestling is fake.

I've never owned, or was a slave, and a large percentage of our
forefathers weren't wealthy enough to own one either.
Please stop blaming me because some prior white people were idiots - and remember,
tons of white, Indian, Chinese, and other races have been enslaved too
- it was wrong for every one of them.

I believe a self-righteous liberal Democrat with a cause is more
dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.

I want to know exactly which church is it where the "Reverend" Jessie
Jackson preaches; and, what exactly is his job function.

I own a gun, you can own a gun, and any red blooded American should be
allowed to own a gun, but if you use it in a crime, then you will serve the time.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and
continue to make more. If it makes you mad, then invent the next
operating system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask
your buddy that invented the Internet to help you.

I don't believe in hate crime legislation. Even suggesting it makes me
mad. You're telling me that someone who is a minority,gay, disabled,
another nationality, or otherwise different from the mainstream of
this country has more value as a human being that I do as a white
male. If someone kills anyone, I'd say that it's a hate crime.
We don't need more laws! Let's enforce the ones we already have.

I think turkey bacon, turkey beef, turkey fake anything sucks.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child-it takes a
parent with the guts to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say
"NO!" when it's necessary to do so.

I'll admit that the only movie that ever made me cry was Ole Yeller.

I didn't realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I had a kid.

I will not be frowned upon or be looked down upon or be made to keep
silent because I have these beliefs and opinions. I thought this
country allowed me that right. I will not conform or compromise just
to keep from hurting somebody's feelings. I'm neither angry nor
disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would
like the world to believe otherwise.

Manipulator, after reading that wonderful diatribe how could you possibly want to run over the Tedster?

Best Regards,

Anyway, I can agree on some with some of his points, and I can certainly understand his frustration with the areas of American politics that seem to be more focused on achieving a moral high ground than rational thinking, but I take issue with the comment that 'his' forefathers 'settled' America - it was already settled before they brought their disease ridden asses across the water. And, *cough* the French settled the U.S. as well thank you very much. I hate it when history is skewed by people who want to believe that 'that's the way it happened.' Get literate already, and move past Dr. Seuss - I promise you there's more than 'Fox in Socks' in the library. And as far as his statement about compassion and guns goes, well, 'what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?' Sorry, but I don't want to live in a feudal society. And I don't want to live in a gated community so that I know no one's going to shoot someone inadvertantly on my street in a drive by. And I like dealing with people in other languages besides English. You would have to be a complete moron to not understand simple phrases in another language even if you weren't fluent in it. I guess it's a good thing that I'm not an American.

Blaiming Liberals for all USA's ills is a bit much when it's Bush (or chimp?) that's running you guys, and the rest of us, directly to The Day Of Judgement.

Yep...guess the can of Worms IS open now.

Disclaimer:
Ted Nugents thoughts and views in no way reflect those of King Kula, who is a Liberal, Communist Bastard and HATES George Bush, American Cars, Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Mom. Oops! Sorry. I do love Mom.

Just kidding about the rest anyways.

It is the opinion of King Kula that Marilyn Manson should be President.

Best Regards,

Why do some people hate Ted Nugent so much? I don't think its his music. Is it because he likes hunting or is it his political views?

What I like about Nugent is that he stands for individual freedom. Liberals have one basic belief. They want to incrementally take away individual freedom and slowly let the government make more and more of the decisions for its citizenry. I don't want that. If you enjoy beaucrates acting as your parents, then more power to ya(unless you live in the USA). Not me baby!
