ted nugent: "I'm Beginning To Wonder If It Would Have Been Best Had The South Won The Civil War"

one crazy mofo....



In today's column for the Washington Times, National Rifle Association board member and prominent Mitt Romney endorser Ted Nugent wrote, "I'm beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War."

Nugent's remark came in response to what he called "turncoat" Chief Justice John Roberts' "traitor vote" to uphold President Obama's health reform law, including the individual mandate. According to Nugent, Roberts "squandered the opportunity to restore judicial, financial and legislative sanity to a government that by any sane person's standards is insane and addicted to centralized federal control of our lives."

Nugent then stated:

Because our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government hold the 10th Amendment in contempt, I'm beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War. Our Founding Fathers' concept of limited government is dead.

I wonder if a majority of so-called Tea Party "patriots" share his hatred for the union.

You're irrelevant. You haven't BEEN relevant since 1970-something, and even then you weren't particularly relevant. In fact, you're so far beyond irrelevant, it would take the light from irrelevant a billion years to reach you.

Please leave thinking to people who know how to do it.

Because:

a) He has the mental capacity to "wonder" about anything

b) If he did manage that feat, that he would have any doubt that it "..would have been best had the south won the Civil war."
