Interesting article on a guy I like a lot, the Nuge:

http://www.pressconnects.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070621/ENT/706210310/1017

I love the quote:

"I couldn't be prouder to stand on the side of logic, goodwill, decency, the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Ten Commandments, the golden rule and a sense of the ethical spirit to be productive instead of otherwise."

I agree with most things the Nuge has to say, not all. But he standstallfor his opinions and is usually quite right. No pun intended. And he has an incisive view about his many critics too. He's a terrific advocate for 2A, the Constitution, conservationand hunting.

I just stumbled over this quote:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/19/commentary.nugent/index.html

"Who doesn't get this? Who has the audacity to demand unarmed helplessness? Who likes dead good guys?

I'll tell you who. People who tramp on the Second Amendment, that's who. People who refuse to accept the self-evident truth that free people have the God-given right to keep and bear arms, to defend themselves and their loved ones. People who are so desperate in their drive to control others, so mindless in their denial that they pretend access to gas causes arson, Ryder trucks and fertilizer cause terrorism, water causes drowning, forks and spoons cause obesity, dialing 911 will somehow save your life, and that their greedy clamoring to "feel good" is more important than admitting that armed citizens are much better equipped to stop evil than unarmed, helpless ones."
