It’s been exactly one year since TedNugent claimed he’d be dead or in jail.
On April 14th, 2012 Ted Nugent claimed ”_If barack obama becomes the president in november again, i will either be dead or in jail by this time next year. Why you laughing, you think that’s funny? That’s not funny at all. I’m serious as a heart attack._”https://plus.google.com/111051039748078110427/posts/iRvbXXuu8En
Well Ted, your time’s up, so which one is it? I think Ted wants to hear what youthink about this. He doesn’t have a G+ account, but he is on:

In all honesty, I think Ted Nugent is going to chicken out from his claim, just like other famous conservatives do when their mouths write checks their butts can’t cash. For instance, it’s been over 1400 days since Fox propagandist Sean Hannity claimed that “wateboarding is not torture” and volunteering to be waterboarded to prove it. Similarly, human hemmorhoid and chronic loggorheatic Rush Limbaugh said he’d “move to Costa Rica if Health Care Reform passed”. That was 3 years ago, and Boss Limbaugh is still here. Time to man up you cowards!

There’s No Such Thing As the Liberal War on Science.
Many of you know that I regularly battle with science deniers on the right. They are typically irrational nutbags that are incapable seeing things from an objective perspective, and they have a whole myriad of illogical arguments to rationalize their preconceived notions. However, it needs to be noted that while there is a conservative war on science, there is no liberal war on science. That is a myth. There’s a reason why only 9% of all scientists are conservative. http://www.people-press.org/2009/07/09/public-praises-science-scientists-fault-public-media/
Mike Shermer is a particularly insidious brand of conservative who desperately tries to push the false equivalence logical fallacy. He is wrong, and being deliberately deceptive.
The 3 resources you need to bookmark to refute anyone that erroneously cites this windbag are:

It’s always been pretty obvious what the right wing is after in their fatwa against our democracy and public domain. They want more power for their corporate overlords. Have no doubt, America is ground zero in the fight against corporate tyranny.
Bold Progressive. Deal with it.
