EDITORIAL: Nugent tramples the weak-minded--Every day is the Fourth of July on Uncle Ted's tour bus

A Ted Nugent concert is 75 percent hard-charging rock 'n' roll and 25 percent a celebration of red-white-and-blue values.
At the heart of his message is that our freedom can be taken away if it isn't understood and defended. All Americans should be mindful of that danger this Independence Day.
In between rock anthems such as "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Stranglehold," Mr. Nugent hails the United States as the best country on Earth but cautions that American exceptionalism mostly exists despite the government, not because of it. When the universal rights that make America special are threatened by government overreach, defiance is the responsibility of the people, he declares. In an indictment of the out-of-control bureaucracy he calls Fedzilla, the Motor City Madman warns that one advantage America always has enjoyed is that, "the rest of the world sucks, and America has always sucked less - but we're catching up fast." That arrow is aimed squarely at the heart of the Obama administration and the Democrats' power grab, to which we say, "Amen, Uncle Ted."

I want him as our vice-president. He can be president after Sarah’s two terms.

I think “they” (MSM) would ALL have some MAJOR problems with all the COMMON SENSE Ted would give ‘em. ...and the American public would cheer and rejoice with their new-found freedoms!

If we’re going to have a ‘rock star’
president, why not the real thing?

I want him as our vice-president. He can be president after Sarah’s two terms... I don't think he's qualified.
I think he'd make a great press secretary.

He’s more qualified than the clown we have now.

To: gogeo
I think that he is imminently qualified... he knows the law... he knows the Constitution... he loves America and he absolutely knows and understands American History... he has shown himself to have great leadership skills in his music and TV career... and he could rock the inauguration in a way that no one ever has.
