Things are going well for Ted Nugent. He just released a DVD of his 6000th concert, he has a new reality show coming out next month and he has the satisfaction of knowing of being able to say "I told you so" to anyone who's doubted his political opinions. "Life is wonderful," he tells Spinner. I've done the right things. I've never been liberal so I've got a nest egg. I've always lived within my means."

These days, you can see, hear or read Nugent's thoughts on politics and the country everywhere you go. "If I try to make my voice heard any more than I already have, you would have been Nugified with a giant crowbar skull marking," he says. "I have pieces in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Detroit news and WacoTrib.com. I've been doing speaking engagements at universities and public events for a couple dozen years now. I've been an activist forever. I've been warning people that this is coming. I wrote the first article identifying the artificial economy of America that is the house of cards we're seeing fall now. I think I first wrote that in the late '80s."

But just because Uncle Ted is being heard doesn't mean he's happy with what he sees. "With a liberal in the White House, it's sad to see the celebration of mediocrity and slovenliness and the cult of denial expand," he says. "That's heartbreaking to see this once-great nation abandon the drive of excellence and the new squawking mantra of whining and excuse-making, which is why we have the president we have, and for him and his administration to defy the Constitution and Fedzilla exploding into the private sector and controlling corporations, it's shocking."

Still, Nugent holds out hope for the country. "I believe that we the people will eventually see the criminality of the Obama administration and eventually stop them one way or another, so I have eternal faith in my fellow man," he says. "I can't believe this experiment in self-government is over. I can't believe the documents our founding fathers clearly articulated and wrote are going to be abandoned for tyranny and slavery, and that's really what Obama represents. He represents that 'you people are so stupid and inept, I'll have to cover you.' I just don't believe that's true."

However, Nugent also thinks that plenty of Americans are to blame as well. "There is gluttony and denial in our economy," he starts, his voice rising throughout. "Basically, it can be most simply understood by the U.S. government and its citizens being credit card pigs. You can't buy another leather jacket when you've already got six. You claim you can't make ends meet and you owe five grand, much less 250 grand, on your credit card, you chimp!? Of course, I'm the bastard for saying it. People are pigs from the blubber that they have intentionally infested ourselves with and then they have the audacity to squawk for health care but not care about our health? How does that work?! If the producers of 'Planet of the Apes' were offered the current American script that was playing out before us, they would turn it down because it's too stupid. It wouldn't qualify for a 'Planet of the Apes' script!

"Only the guilty need to feel guilty," he continues, "but anybody who claims they can't make ends meet is a liar! Anybody that owes money on their credit card is a pig. If you smoke or drink or have blubber, you get no healthcare until you show me you care about your health. You can't stab yourself in the eye every morning and then charge me for your eye doctor! What the f---?!"

Well, there you have it, ladies and gentleman -- you've been Nugified.

We have to be strong, states.
Don't take to heart all these woes, but we must struggle and work hard.
The Lord gives and takes.
Our Faith in Christ Jesus will rectify, and will justify.

God Bless the United States.

Interesting.

As one who is a product of the Filipino Medical Diaspora (The Filipino Brain Drain), I am placed in a situation in analyzing this predicament. Considering both my parents are Medical Professionals and part of the Brain Drain Wave.

As a Filipino medical student, I do understand the importance of medicine in any given society, and the role of the Physician/Surgeon, for the health of that given nation, and at the same time, one cannot give ear to the notion of the law of economics 'Supply and Demand'.

The Philippines, currently, is saturated with Nurses and Doctors, tho. The nation is known throughout the world as a 'Medical Machine'. The Philippines as a nation, produces thousands of Doctors and Nurses every year. It produces technocrats. You name it: Doctors, Nurses, Engineers, Seamen, IT Workers, Physical Therapists etc.

What bears testament to the Philippine Intelligence and Will is the fact that there are over 20,000 + Filipino Physician/ Surgeons here in the united states. Do you know that the Filipinos make up a large chunk of the medical work force here in the 'states. Our numbers dominate not only the nursing field, but the medical pillars. The 2nd largest foreign medical graduates that practice here in the United States are from the Philippines.

The reasons for it is the fact that:
1. Filipino Medical Schools are above par; and produces highly qualified physicians
2. Filipino Medical Graduates have high success rates in passing the USMLEs
3. Philippine-Trained Doctors do extremely well in their clinical rotations over here in the United States due to their experiences in the Philippines. Philippine Doctors are exposed to cases that are unheard of in the United States. Cases such as: Dengue, Yellow Fever, Polio, Leprosy, varying types of viral infections.

----

True, Priscilla, the United States might be limiting its nursing demand due to the rising nursing profession here in the United States, but speaking as a medical student, medicine will be a field that is cyclic.

Demand for more nurses and doctors will make it inevetible to open the doors, yet again. It is estimated that by 2020, the United States will be in shortage of Doctors. This means that the doors will yet again be open to allow more highly qualified foreign graduates.

Filipino Doctors are in the top list due to their innate strengths:
1. mastery of the English language
2. hard working
3. ability to do what many would give up on.

----

Alot of American Medical Graduates prefer to specialize in surgery or higher tiered resident spots. We want to specialize. Thats the trend nowadays, "specialize, specialize'.

But to the dismay of the nation, we are in DIRE shortage of primary care docs (PCD).

We are in shortage of:
1. Pediatricians
2. Family Practice Docs
3. Internal Medicine
4. Psychiatry

---

And do you know what spots the Foreign docs are getting into? hehee yup, got it!
Primary Care.

So long as there is demand, there will definitely always be a supply.
---

Nations can boast about their strengths. Japan can boast about their technological stregnths, their cartoons, their gagetry. American can boast about its military, Canada can boast of its farmland, its bread basket, Saudi Arabia can boast about its oil and natural resources.

The Philippines can boast about her Doctors, her Nurses, her medical professionals.
Which she produces by the thousands upon thousands year after year.
Philippines is known as: A Medical Production Plant.

Absolutely, the tenth belongs to the Lord and if we give
    more  then that will be the offering unto the Lord.
   
Malachi 3:8- "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
                      but ye say, wherein have we robbed thee?
                       In tithes and offerings"
