 WRITE ON WEDNESDAY

Yet another very simple coincidence 


The Citizen’s Voice weighed in on the part time $300.00 an hour hiring of J.J. Murphy. With the upcoming Attorney General’s race as well as the past ethical actions of the Leighton administration, well let’s just say the connections here are staggering. And deserve to be repeated. From the April 15th edition of the Voice: It all must be a coincidence. Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton says he had nothing to do with former city administrator and Leighton ally J.J. Murphy landing a lucrative $300-per-hour consulting job with the city Parking Authority. Sure, Murphy is conducting research to determine if the authority should lease its garages and parking meters to a private firm - a study Murphy recommended to Leighton last winter. Just coincidence. And the fact that Murphy touted his brother's law firm, Fox Rothschild, to oversee the study? Come on, it's a coincidence. So Leighton reportedly pressures the semi-autonomous authority to hire Fox Rothschild, which turns around and hires Murphy? Just quit with the crazy conspiracy theories already. Leighton would never play such political games to benefit his political allies. And he'd do everything out in the open just to ensure there's no funny business. Like the time he hired his kids and all those other nice kids from his neighborhood in South Wilkes-Barre for city summer jobs without advertising them. The state Ethics Commission said that was OK because he had an underling do the actual hiring. Or the time he spent more than $14,000 in city money to install high-tech security systems at his house and Murphy's without any public disclosure. The state Attorney Generals' Office said no harm, no foul, and you know the city can be a dangerous place. Or the time he bought three fire engines with $860,000 from an anonymous donor, but told the press and public the money came from the general fund, community development money and the city's emergency services tax. Well, no body's been able to figure that one out, but those engines are still protecting you and your property, so don't be ungrateful. Anyway, leasing the garages and meters to a for-profit entity might be good for Wilkes-Barre's bottom line. And it would be awfully mean to suggest that the thousands of dollars in campaign cash Leighton got from Fox Rothschild would play any role in his, uh, urging the parking authority to hire the firm. Don't be such a cynic.

Off the subject, but did you see where Motor City Moron Ted Nugent had some stupid remarks regarding the reelection of President Obama? He says if the President is reelected he will either be in jail
or dead! Either one of the two is good with me. This jerk is so insignificant even in the music business I wonder why he is ever qouted. Can anyone name a hit Ted Nugent was involved in with the exception of the Amboy Dukes in the sixties and that one was marginal and nobody under 65 might remember it. OK he loves guns and is a favorite of FIX News. Cool.
What does he mean by his idiotic remark? Jail or dead take your choice unless jail means he harmed somebody. Maybe dead is a better option. Nobodys going to miss him whichever it is and of course neither will happen because he is just talk. Moronic talk that deserves no further attention.

ON THAT BASIS ALONE, NUGENT SHOULD BE ARRESTED TODAY AS A SECURITY THREAT TO THE PRESIDENT. IF ANY ONE OF US WOULD HAVE MADE THE REMARK, WE'D BE FACING CHARGES. HE IS A PANSY THAT NEVER FOUGHT IN A WAR AND MOST LIKELY HAS SOME PACKAGE ISSUES SINCE HE WANTS TO SHOW HIS MANHOOD WITH GUNS AND THREATS THAT CAN INCITE PEOPLE TO DO VIOLENCE. ARREST HIM NOW! FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS ONE THING, THREATS ARE QUITE ANOTHER. AND AS FOR HIS MUSIC (??) CAREER, "CAT SCRATCH FEVER"???? A CLASSIC???? PLEASE!!!!!

Ted Nugent has money from his ability to get people to listen to his over the hill shouting called music. He spends his money and get TV time for various reality shows and FOX news comments. In the real world, Ted Nugent is insignificant and today he is receiving a visit from the Secret Service. I hope it is for more than a tour of his huge play house. His comments should receive the same treatment that any other asshole's comments receive. Maybe a month or two in jail would be a good thing but he and FOX would turn that into another reality show. So let's just simply say, screw you Ted Nugent.

If all of America was just like the great families at the NRA 141st Annual Members meeting in St. Louis last weekend, our country would be flawless. Surrounded by my family, friends, patriots, law enforcement and military heroes, veterans who have sacrificed dearly for freedom and the US Constitution, the goodwill and positive energy in the air was cleansing to say the least. We set another attendance record for the NRA and for St. Louis. It was downright perfect.

I spent all three days doing fundraisers for children’s and military charities, fondling much hardware, meeting legions of good folks at the Ted Nugent Ammo exhibit, and shaking hands with great Americans, Canadians, Brits and freedom loving people from around the globe.

As always, I also conducted numerous media interviews providing unlimited self-evident truth and the inexhaustible evidence supporting the beauty of keeping and bearing arms for defense of self, family and liberty. Unarmed helplessness is for sheep and the French. Such an embarrassing, irresponsible, crime inducing condition is inexcusable.

On Sunday, April 15, my killer MotorCity soulbrother, Derek St. Holmes joined me onstage for an impromptu celebration of Motown classics and my firebreathing soundtrack of defiance and God given, constitutionally guaranteed individual rights. Much enthusiastic footstomping and dancing erupted like it was the 4th of July.

Introduced lovingly by the great Texas’ Attorney General Gregg Abbot, I took the stage, humbled yet proud that such a gathering of fine people would unite to hear the old guitar player raise hell for a better America.

My speech, just like every year at NRA, was about the unlimited greatness of this sacred experiment in self-government, thanking the heroes of the US Military and law enforcement for their incredible sacrifices waging war against the enemies of freedom wherever it may slither.

But beyond all that is good, the real duty of we the people is to watch out for and fight against the bad and the ugly brought about by people of power that historically have always abused it.

Part 2
eI named names. I called out Eric Holder for his fast and furious and other offenses. I railed against our president for his engineered dismantling of the once greatest economy in the world. I reminded everyone how Hillary Clinton sides with the evil criminals of the UN instead of her own great nation. I reminded good Americans that it isn’t the enemies fault for sneaking into the White House and abusing power, but rather we the people for bending over and allowing them to take corruption to a horrible new level.

I begged everyone to register and vote, because warriors give up their lives so that we can. I spotlighted cockroaches and rallied those who care to stomp em out at the voting booth in November, as is my duty as an American.

By no stretch of the imagination did I ever threaten anyone’s life, or hint of violence or mayhem. Metaphors needn’t be explained to educated people.

I passionately rallied the American civilian troops to stand up for what is right and to demand that the US Constitution and Bill of Rights are once again forced into determining all laws and policies in America.

Then in their ever desperate scramble to divert attention from the crimes of their communist leaders, the Saul Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” leftwing media and terminally liberal democrats circled their battlewagons of deceit and hate and unleashed their tsunami of lies about me and everything I said.

To me, my family and thinking America, the dysfunctional leftwing hate hysteria was laughable. I became the #1 global tweet entity of the bogus blogosphere, while every newspaper and America hating television and radio gang literally tripped over themselves in a feeble attempt to out-lie each other.

I personally have never been prouder. If my daily activities and simple statements of truth and logic can cause such bizarre over-reaction by so many, I need no more evidence that I am on the right track. When doing God’s work, the devils go bonzo. So be it.

I stand by my statements. The line is drawn in the American sand. I stand with patriots who love this country and wake up early every day to put our hearts and souls into being an asset for America, our fellow Americans, people of the world and the good earth.

Those who despise me blindly chant Mao Tse Tung and Che’ Guevara rants, and the difference between our good and their bad is glaring.

Choose your side carefully America. The shining city on the hill is under attack from within.

Ted

so Ted says if Obama is elected for a second term he (Ted) will be arrested or dead.

Seems dead on. (can I say that?)

But the New Black Panther Party can spew threats to "pink people", and threathen voters at the poll with impunity.

Going for more ammo on Saturday. Better to have it and not need it.

I will ALWAYS stand my ground.

98% of rappers would be awaiting trial if this were the benchmark.

Of course if he had threatened W his catalog would be flying off the shelves.

Hard to get excited about this...guess its been a slow news day.
