If Uncle Teddy Was President…
October 10, 2008 by Scott
Ted Nugent has a book that came out last Tuesday. It’s called Ted, White, And Blue. I admire some of the things The ‘Nuge says because he speaks his mind…but this is a crazy man. You can say whatever you feel, just think about what exactly your saying.
Popeater.com (which should be called “poopeater”) posted a few things that Ted said in regards to what he would do if he were in charge. I’ve thrown in my two cents.
Foreign Debts: The rocker says he’d “take appropriate gas and oil from Mexico and the Middle East as payment for all debts we are owed by them.”
That is actually a grand idea. Too bad it would start more battles. Speaking of battles…
War: “[I'd] instruct the US military warriors to do their job — win the global war on terror right now and eliminate all threats from all sources by any means necessary.”
Yeah, any means necessary. And we can kill every woman, child and any living thing that is in our way while we’re at it. For every 1 terrorist killed there would be 20 innocent people. That’s great, Ted. Just what we need.
Peace: “Each morning I bow down on bended knee in reverence to the Almighty and pray for good bombing weather. The history of mankind is one of war, not peace…’Give peace a chance’ will get you killed. John Lennon was wrong. Imagine that.”
Refer back to my last comment. It’s obvious that this dude has never served or had to worry about his ass on the front line. I wonder if he’ll be saying the same thing when his son says, “Dad, I want to join the Marines.”.
The United Nations: “[I'd] refuse to pay one red cent more to the UN until other nations pony up their fair share — but maintain membership just to keep our eyes on the bastards.”
I actually couldn’t agree with him more on this one. He’s got a great point.
Driving Etiquette: “Oh, and I almost forgot, we only use the left lane when we are actually passing another vehicle.You see, we pay attention so we are not rude to other Americans who may want to get by us on the highways. We admit we are weird.”
Again, couldn’t agree more with him here. I hate people that don’t know when to get the hell out of the way in the passing lane. Or the people that leave their directional on for 8 miles. I could go on all day about this one.
Ted got some good ideas, but it’s clearly obvious that the Motor City Madman isn’t firing on all his pistons.

Mr Nugent’s hypocrisy:
1) Regarding promoting war while being a Vietnam draft dodger (you will not want to google what he claimed to have done to avoid the draft, it’s more than disgusting). You also neglected to mention that this man, who does not understand the trauma of war, advocates that health care and welfare for veterans be temporary. So he has even less respect for the sacrifice of health and peace of mind veterans make than the average recent Republican.
2) Regarding the expeditious execution of all pedophiles… would that be retroactive? Because at 21 years of age he started dating his future first wife when she was either 13 or 14 and that is paedophilia under US law, and was in 1970. He’d certainly be listed on the sex offender’s register in the UK. Later in his 30’s he took out legal guardianship of a 17 year old Hawaiian girl to continue a relationship with her. That is pedophilia in 11 US states.
Thanks for the additional info, Seb. I had no idea about either of those points you made. It’s good to see that not everybody agrees with Ted. I think some do just to make themselves feel good that they agree with some whacked out rock star. I’m going to google more on ted so I have more “firepower” next time I right up a post on Ted.
