I used to be offended by the bumper sticker, “Fight Incest,
Stop Listening to Country Music.” I like country music and play it frequently.
In fact, my job has me traveling a lot and I frequently put on my favorite
country music CD in order to relieve the boredom of driving.
Now, after Ted Nugent’s nearly incoherent criticism of a
seventeen-year-old boy (David Hogg) who survived a horrific school shooting,
maybe I owe the drivers of the bumper-sticker-laden cars an apology. Inbreeding
produces morons and it appears Ted Nugent is walking proof of that.
How else, but stupid and moronic, can anyone describe
Nugent’s criticism of the Parkland High School shooting survivors calling them “liars”
and “poor, mushy-brained children?” Nugent, whose brain is something akin to a 40-watt light bulb,
apparently has no moral compass. For a nationally known artist to use the power
of his stardom to attack young school shooting survivors goes beyond jaw dropping,
it is immoral.
Indeed
for adults anywhere to viciously attack the students at Parkland is disgusting.
Every
time there is a school shooting or mass shooting of any kind, all sorts of
things crawl out from under rocks. Take for example, Mike Adams, a conspiracy
theorist who heads up the Web site Natural
News which is best known for challenging scientific and conventional
medicine. Adams has formed something called Hoggwatch,
and refers to David Hogg as an “anti-gun punk,” a “sociopath” and a
“bully.”
Adams,
when asked to appear on national television to explain his criticism of the
young school-shooting survivor, was unavailable. Apparently, for Adams to come
out from under his rock for prolonged periods of time would cause him some
health problems. (To be continued)
