TED NUGENT: 'I Like Sizzling Meat On The Grill'
June 17, 2007Rocker Ted Nugent has penned another guest column for the Waco Tribune-Herald in which he talks about animal-rights activists and his right to eat meat. An excerpt follows:
"I like sizzling meat on the grill. Wild, huh? Anybody? Now, we all know ol' Nuge isn't by any stretch of the imagination a weirdo when it comes to an omnivorous diet.
"Especially here in the great Republic of Texas, a smiling, drooling preference for succulent, protein-rich, nutritious backstrap over aromatic mesquite coals is as American and natural and right as Mom, apple pie and the flag. It's beautiful, really.
"But a culture war rages against such universal, self-evident truths. It would be laughable if it were not so deranged. Some weirdos actually are on a crusade to outlaw the consumption of flesh.
"I have musical touring associates who have been fired from their jobs with ex-Beatle Paul McCartney for sneaking a hamburger.
"You heard that right. Fired for eating meat by an animal-rights maniac, hard-core vegan bass player.
"The entire agenda of the gazillion-dollar-financed joke known as PETA literally is dedicated to outlawing meat.
"Neither I, nor any hunter or meat eater on the planet, has any desire whatsoever to influence any vegetarian's choice of diet or to force them to eat meat. We are the friendly, tolerant Americans.
"This is but one of many issues that represent the line drawn in the sand between liberals and conservatives."
