Nugent Ousted From Fort Knox Concert Line-Up

Because the concert is taking place on a military installation, it “would be a conflict of interest since the military has the obligation to be apolitical,” he said

So they're cancelling da Nuge because he excercised his free speech rights under the Constitution they are supposed to be protecting. Nice. Their loss.

Insanity. First of all, he was using a metaphor in his rant against Obama. There was no threat. Secondly, they say they want to be "apolitical", but they are banning him for his political viewpoint. Yeah, that makes sense.
I wonder if they are going to poll the rest of the entertainers in the concert to make sure their minds are right.

Looks like or military is lacking the balls that Uncle Ted has! WEEEEE! WEEEE1 WEEEEEEEE! I can't have anyone that supports the constitution be anywhere near me when my President is stomping on it! After all, I have sworn an oath to protect it! ? ? ? ? ? Oh, crap, what do I do now?

As a Fort Knox alumni, let Ted draw the local investment somewhere else (like off the base?). Ted is NOT a Jane fonda.

If they were truly "apolitical" they wouldn't have booted Nugent from the line up. Obama and the liberals own this country.

11:03 they may own it for now but that can all change. That's why it is more important than ever to get out there and vote out every liberal AND RINO in the government "lineup". Time to get back to our constitutional foundings.
