Ted Nugent: ‘Best’ if South had won Civil War
Seattle Post intelligencer ^ | July 6, 2012 | N/A

Posted on 07/07/2012 4:51:17 AM PDT by raulgomez05

Aging rocker and reality TV personality Ted Nugent is emerging, even ahead of Donald Trump, as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s most embarrassing public supporter.

Nugent is at it again, reacting to the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act by writing in the Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Washington Times that America would have been better off had the South won the Civil War.

A full Nugent rant, which might be subtitled “Robe Rage”:

“The bottom line is that Chief Justice Roberts’ traitor vote will ensure more monumental spending and wasted taxes and put almost 15 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product under one of the world’s most bureaucratic, ineffective, incompetent and grossly expensive systems ever devised by man: our out-of-control federal government.

The Southern states take WAY more federal funding then the North.

Now, I'd like to see a link to that data.

Who is to say that slaves wouldn’t have been kept to run the machines?

The Irish got the dangerous jobs. You could pay send the Mrs. a week's pay when they got killed, and hire another cheap. Slaves represented a substantial investment and were not allowed to do the really dangerous stuff for fear of loss.

I submit that only a mighty Christian Revival can save this nation at this point.

Since He has spoken, and has told us that the world will degenerate into a cesspool before He comes back to set things right, I doubt even a massive Chrisrian revival will save the nation/world, but at least it will gather some more souls for His eternal rewards.

West Virginia is a Northern State, like it or not. It separated from Virginia during the war.

I never suggested the EP freed anyone in the north. Slavery was abolished in my state when we adopted our constitution in 1780. No wars,. No one got killed.

And your state ratified a national constitution that allowed it in other states. If they couldn't live with that, why did they agree to it?

And I simply cannot understand why none of you can utter the words that slavery was wrong. Without it, there would have been no war.

You can agree with the end, and still think the means sucked skunk butt.

Well, then take it up with Uncle Ted. You’re coming across as having a lot of disdain for us Southern folks.

Your crazy. The South makes a ton less money then the North....The Southern states take WAY more federal funding then the North. If not for the North, the United States would be worse off. I hate to break this to you but the United States NEEDS the North.

What's that about my crazy (perhaps you meant to say "You're" crazy)? I notice a LOT more conservatives down here despite the issues you mention - even schoolteachers aren't afraid of hering the word "God". Perhaps you might want to spend a few years living it so your opinion has some foundation behind it. Your neck of the woods is far more likely to vote Obama than where I live despite all them poor greedy southern hicks eating up all the liberal North's largess.

These threads are always my favorites.

I love America, therefore I support an insurrection that would have destroyed it.

America at that time consisted of colonies and later sovereign states, and did just fine. We’ll do well after shedding the Pustule on the Potomac too. It will happen too, just as it did to the Politburo.

“Slavery is and was indefensible.”

True. Let the Confederacy be judged for chattel slavery, the norm when it was adopted, and let the Union be judged for abortion, a radical abomination from case law and a selfish culture.

54 million since Rove v. Wade.

Hurrah for the Union, hurrah boys, hurrah.

I don't think I could agree with that. Two rival nations side by side? Or one nation beside a confederation of more than a dozen independent, autonomous entities? (And Texas as an independent nation itself?)

Could this country have expanded across to the Pacific? Could those territories have become states? And could America achieve its level of greatness among the nations of the world, split brother against brother?

Great, now I have to read some Alternate History sci-fi (Harry Harrison or Turtledove or one of those guys).
