| There’s something terribly wrong. Something stinks. Something is rotten in America. Something is causing young loners to pick up guns and slaughter people. Cops, psychologists, sociologists, politicians and various other talking heads will jabber incessantly about why they think a young man snapped and killed a bunch of bubbly young children who were looking forward to Santa Claus. They will offer their opinions on what they think can be done to stop future psychotics from committing mass murder. They all will be guessing. Some blabbermouths already are using the Connecticut school massacre to promote their anti-gun agenda even though more

Comments: Mr. Nugent nails it this time. Every day there is attack on traditional American values by radicals and the ACLU and they are destroying our country.

This is the real heart of what is wrong with our country! A spot-on assessment that makes more sense than anything said to date!

A "spot-on assessment", indeed, #1. These monsters have been bred and grown in the liberal cultural petrie dish, and the blame for their behavior rests ultimately and squarely with them. The thing is, on some level, liberals know this. It´s what makes them so vicious.

Well, said, Ted. Agree with everything said, here. Sadly, our American society will probably not recover. I expect more unrest, more violence, more death, more government intervention, and the viscious cycle will continue until all collapses. (Mad Max of the US is coming.)
There is such contempt for anything moral, spiritual and right - led by the DemoRat Socialist party. Look at who we elected? A man who spent 20 years listening to hate speak and total contempt for America spewed by Reverand (and I use that term with suspect) Wright. And we wonder why we´re collapsing? Greed & power. Looters and takers.

Agree that our culture is declining. It´s the decay caused by the "It takes a village" mentality. It doesn´t take a village. It takes a family, a mom and dad if possible, who instill decent moral values in their children without the interference of Leftists who want to introduce all manner of deviancy into those children´s lives.
I was talking with a friend today. We were discussing the things that all the good parents we knew had tried to do with their kids. It boiled down to church or synagogue, scouting or team sports, music or swimming or other lessons, family dinner most nights, no TV until homework was done, no cable TV, no TV in the kid´s rooms, little or no video games (and the only ones permitted were challenging, not violent). As the kids got older, we knew who their friends were and where they were going.
Most good parents we knew had worked hard to keep the evils of our culture out of their homes. Sometimes, even that hadn´t been enough.

It took less than five minutes to read Ted´s comments and he says it all. We must re-do the goodness in our pasts. Family supper together, shared chores, mutual love and respect. Speak and touch one another...express your love to your family members and respect them. Be a unit, a family. Face the world knowing that you have a bond of love among you. It works! But we must work to keep it. It´s God´s will.

Amen, Uncle Ted, Amen. Let me add that libs have spent decades coddling youth, refusing to push them or hold them to standards, more concerned about their self-esteem and fragile psyches rather than preparing them for life out in the harsh, cruel world. When the kids finally get there, they aren´t prepared for it. Most turn to mom and dad or some government hack like Obumbler to bail them out, but some just snap and start firing. If conservatives really want to make a difference, they need to make inroads into the educational system. As long as education is dominated by libtards, our kids are doomed.

Obama said something the other day that more or less endorsed pot smoking. When you have the sort of p*** poor moral leadership from the preident,social decay isn´t far behind.
Obama was out shedding crocodile tears over this shooting but didn´t bat an eye whe nhe heard about botched abortion babies being left to die in utility closets.
We also have a very bad spoiled brat culture going on in this country.Just look as a supposed reverend threatening to gov. of Mich.over a duly passed law.
Kids play brinkmanship with their parents all the time when they don´t get their way as far making suicide attempts.I can´t think of anything more intimidating to a parent than that. The peer pressure in schools to wear this or that clothing or having the latest gadget phone are running parents into deep debt.
You have websites glorifying anorexia and it doesn´t seem to bother anybody.

Ted, you don´t know what you are talking about. I would have agreed with you 30 years ago...before I had a family member with serious mental illness and learned the truth. Serious mental illness doesn´t care whether you are a Democrat or a Republican. It doesn´t matter if you go to church every Sunday. It doesn´t matter if two loving parents stay together for life or divorce. It doesn´t matter whether you watch Disney movies or violent movies. Rich or poor. Black or white.
No one goes around pontificating that different values or morals or whatever would stop cancer in its tracks. Or Alzheimers. We are wise enough to realize that these are diseases, treatable in some cases, but also sometimes fatal. The serious mental illnesses - schizophrenia, schzioaffective, bipolar, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders - are diseases. On average, they cut about 20 years off of a lifespan. They can be effectively treated with medication, but often the person is unaware that he/she is ill because of how the disease affects the brain.
Moral decay didn´t cause the Connecticut killings. Untreated mental illness did.

Don´t get me wrong. I LOVE Ted Nugent and what he says here.
However if you read the lyrics to some of his songs from his younger days, you might appreciate the irony here. He would have been the epitome of moral decay, according to my parents´ generation. I guess what I´m saying is that every generation says this about the ones coming up. Doesn´t make them wrong...there are some very troubling things about kids these days. But adulthood does bring a new perspective, and every generation says this. Yes, there is moral decay...no question. But I know a lot of young people and they are wonderful, generous, caring, and have their heads on straight.

Michelle Malkin joined Megyn Kelly on Fox News Monday afternoon to discuss the latest developments in the investigation into the IRS targeting conservatives for audits. Malkin insisted it was not merely her “ideology” that has led to critique the Obama administration on their handling of the IRS issue and others, but rather the evidence she’s seen of their “bully brigade tactics” to “intimidate and criminalize their political opponents.” Malkin began by going after White House Press Secretary Jay Carney for his handling of the various Obama “scandals,” saying the “clown Carney press briefings have turned in

The Justice Department, already under fire for seizing AP phone records, also viewed e-mails of Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen, calling him a criminal ´co-conspirator´ for his reporting. Fox News´ executive vice president of news, Michael Clemente, released a statement defending Rosen. The statement issued Monday afternoon is below: "We are outraged to learn today that James Rosen was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job as a reporter," Clemente said.

Michael Steinbach, former head of the FBI’s counterterrorism division and now special agent in charge of Miami, told over 30 congressional staffers in March of 2012 that, contrary to the White House´s classification, the bureau does not refer to the Fort Hood shooting as "workplace violence." As head of the FBI counterterrorism division, Steinbach oversaw the investigation into the mass murder at Texas Army base. Steinbach made this claim during an unclassified counterterrorism briefing on Capitol Hill. “Do you guys teach your agents that Fort Hood was workplace violence?” one staffer asked.

As a result of Fox News Channel’s State Department reporter James Rosen’s 2009 investigation into the government’s response to North Korea’s repeated provocations, it was reported on Monday that the Department of Justice tracked Rosen’s movements as well as subpoenaed telephone and email records. According to the DoJ’s subpoena, Google surrendered Rosen’s emails, who is described as “an aider and abettor and/or co-conspirator,” to the government. “Rosen was not charged with any crime, but it is unprecedented for the government, in an official court document, to accuse a reporter of breaking the law for conducting the

The House has already begun its investigation of the IRS scandal, with Friday’s hearing in the House Ways and Means Committee. The Senate Finance Committee will follow in short order, and it has already issued a “request” for detailed information from the agency about its targeting of conservative groups over the last three years. Ironically, it looks a lot like the kind of request that the agency sent out to those groups, with 41 demands and just 11 days to respond. The letter, provided by a source on Capitol Hill, shows that the questioning is likely to feel a lot like an audit:

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after a report was released claiming that the Obama Administration targeted a FOX News reporter during a leak investigation: “I am very concerned by reports the Obama Administration targeted a FOX News reporter for possible criminal prosecution for doing what appears to be normal news-gathering protected by the First Amendment. The sort of reporting by James Rosen detailed in the report is the same sort of reporting that helped Mr. Rosen aggressively pursue questions about the Administration’s handling of Benghazi.

After another troubling report about the Justice Department´s crackdown on media leaks, Megyn asks, "how many times has this happened?" We´re learning more by the minute following an explosive report by the Washington Post about the Justice Department monitoring the movements of Fox News Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen. The DOJ was reportedly looking into Rosen´s visits to the State Department, via his security badge, in addition to obtaining search warrants for his personal phone and emails. It all stemmed from a leak by someone in the State

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:
