Dave Mustaine, you go too far!

Once upon a time in the 1980s, a fiery and feisty guitar player was kicked out of a band that would one day become the biggest and most celebrated metal band on the planet. He vowed that he was make them pay for their treachery by creating his own epic metal band and kick their collective teeth in. Sadly for him, his band could never match the previous band's successes: like winning Grammys or having a #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Oh, he did well for himself, but he just couldn't surpass his former peers and was relegated to always being #2. Through sheer force of will, this fiery, feisty guitar player was able to make records throughout the decades and turn in some pretty massive work. And even through the bad times, some career-threatening, he managed to surmount these obstacles and be revered as one of the forefathers of an important movement, this one being thrash metal. And then..... he found GOD! And that's when it went to shit! Dave Mustaine has gone on record as being a Christian and that he wishes to only preach God's message of love and hope, but lately it has been anything but! Mr. Mustaine has gone on record as being against gay marriage, a devoted Republican and supporting equally-psychotic candidates (Rick Santorum, anyone?), and now has gone on to attack our president. What's worse is that he has now stated that President Obama is responsible for the recent attacks involving firearms in both Aurora, Colorado and the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin. The once-levelheaded and usually-intelligent Dave Mustaine has truly lost it! In a shocking statement, Mustaine believes that Obama is trying to get rid of guns by staging these attacks in an effort to pass a ban. It's the same piece-of-crap conspiracy theories that plagued this country since 9/11 when everyone believed that then-President Bush and then-Vice President Cheney were responsible. Only this time, in Mustaine's case, it seems to smack of typical racist Republican contrite, made even more obscenely by the fact that a once-levelheaded individual in a much-maligned occupation is saying these things. There's no grounds or proof to say such heinous and unpatriotic things other than to exercise his freedom of speech. Mustaine, a former drug addict, and his comments are the closest thing to come anarchy and all-around sheer stupidity. My guess is that either Dave Mustaine has been hitting the crack pipe once again, or he's in desperate, dire need of attention. Sorry, Dave, we're not listening this time. Translation: GO FUCK YOURSELF!
