I can't decide how many people to ping on this one. Ted Nugent is one of the good guys. I know that say I was a rock star on the road 9 months of the year with hundreds of hot young things, throwing me their panties, trying to sweet-talk their way though the stage door, hanging around my limo or my hotel's lobby just trying to get my attention, well I'd resist - cause I love my wife. See its all so easy - you're married so temptation is not a problem. So simple. Oh, and on the off chance its been a long time since you've been home, you're tired, maybe had a few after closing ... well you dirtbag - you better not have sinned.
What in the hell are you ranting about? I know he's one of the good guys, but he still should have kept his zipper closed.
I still like him, but he made a mistake and he broke his marriage vows.
I'm sure his wife has forgiven him and that's all that matters. But his zipper and the zipper of all married men should stay closed unless he is with his wife.

No one said it was easy to keep your marriage vows. But it IS a VOW after all.
so i guess as long as ted holds to your political views that you'll forgive him for not holding to his marriage vows ... ted (love the sinner) needs to avoid the situations that lead to doing the hootchie-coo (hate the sin)
It's so easy to say that you shouldn't steal when you aren't poor. It's so easy to say that the Palestinians shouldn't kill Israelis when you aren't a Palestinian. It's easy to say that you shouldn't rape when you don't have some hot young girl teasing you and then denying you sex. Do you really believe any of those excuses? Do I really need to go on? I can play that game all day if you want.
If the standard is to be without sin before you can pass any sort of judgement on the actions of others, we better just repeal most laws because nobody is without sin and there is no law that somebody can't find some way to rationalize their way around. That's why that's not the standard, so you can put your straw man away.
And, frankly, if the life of a rock star makes adultery so inevitable, I have a simple solution -- don't be a rock star if you get married or don't get married if you want to be a rock star. Perhaps there is a reason why acting and entertaining were considered morally questionable occupations and women were, in various places and times, prohibited from those professions.
Perhaps you should try being a little more clear in your rant but if I read this correctly, you're giving us the "people in glass houses" speech. Now, I can't speak for anyone but me, but I did not condemn him. I did not offer my opinion on him. All I said is that this act committed by him changes my opinion of him. Please tell me how my comments prior to this post deserve any inclusion in your sermon on moral relativism.
None of us are without sin. I know that and believe it. That doesn't mean we should give people a pass for sinful bahavior. When we let them go, people only feel more comfortable to commit them.
What exactly makes Ted Nugent one of the good guys? Because he is an American? Because he is a rocker? Because he is a conservative? I know some conservatives who are pretty rotten people. I know some liberals who are very good and decent people.
I realize this may be difficult to deal with, but this is the reality of things. He cheated on his wife. He broke a solemn vow. Stop trying to pretend it didn't happen. Stop trying to give him a free ride.
