How to turn off free transform's blur and transparency on a rotated object?

I'm using photoshop CS6.  I want to be able to rotate something and not have photoshop mess with the pixels in what I've rotated after I hit apply.  I've made a screenshot compilation to better explain what I'm talking about.  The second of the three images is exactly how I want the final outcome to look, minus the bounding box.  Could anyone please tell me how I could accomplish this?

In transform change the interpolation method to Nearest Neighbour

this is called anti-aliasing that photoshop does to elemenate jagged edges,

if you want to select or create a new selection without anti-aliasing

uncheck "anti-alias" in the selection Tool option bar

when it comes to rotate an exisiting layer

when you transform ( ctrl + T ) check the option bar .. there is inteplation options check them .

one more workarround

is to use a pixelated filter

filter -> pixelate -> mosaic

add some contrast with levels command ( ctrl + L )

hope some will help .
