Exclusive Video! Ted Nugent: Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, and Sarah Palin — They are My Heroes
Big Hollywood ^ | Dec 3rd 2010 at 10:50 am | John Nolte

My admiration for the former governor notwithstanding, for over a decade now my reality show viewing has never left the delightfully disturbing and fascinating world of true crime prison breaks, forensic detectives, deadly women and wicked attractions. But I’ve come to like and admire the Palin family because seeing who they are and what they stand for celebrated in the current era of popular culture is such a rare thing.

Because I’m simplistic I tend to break the world down into three simple categories:

Category one is made up of those who keep the world safe: our military, police, firefighters. Those men and women who risk their own lives to protect the rest of us from the bad guys. Without them we have nothing.

Category two is made up of those who keep the world turning. These are our doctors and nurses and entrepreneurs and those who do the hard work of keeping us fed, our cars on the road, the toilets flushing and the air conditioner running. They don’t complain, they don’t whine, they have no sense of entitlement. And without them we have suffering.

Category three is the rest of us, those privileged to enjoy the luxury of being website editors, film critics, writers, journalists, professors and the like. Remove these people from the planet (and I include myself among them) and the world stays safe and keeps right on turning. We’d miss them, but do we really need them?

Like I said, simplistic. But if you think about it, our pop culture gatekeepers spend way too much time celebrating category three and just as much time ridiculing and/or marginalizing the everyday Americans who make up category two.

My favorite Davey Crockett story repeats two sentences tied for the most fateful spoken in the English language. When he lost his bid for reelection to the US House of Representatives he said to his constituents, “You people can all go to hell. I’m going to Texas.”

Texans have a great connection with Tennessee, and thank God for their men that came to die as Texans.

Ted should have a cabinet position in Sarah Palin’s presidency. Re-elect Palin 2016.
