Ted Nugent: Past, Present, and Future, what were you like 40 years ago?

I received an email from someone calling themselves Sebastian. They had tried to register, but, unfortunately, there was a problem, which has now been corrected by the way, so I hope he comes back.

As I have always said, If you have an Opinion, this is the place for it! I believe that until we all get our viewpoints out there, and share our opinions, and have a discussion about our differences, no one will ever change their minds, that is what is wrong in this country now, those on the right, only associate with others on the right, the same goes with any other group, come on people, share your thoughts and opinions here!

Anyway, here is what I received in that email, which was a response to this post, Opinionated Book Review: Ted Nugent- Ted, White, and Blue.

Mr Nugent’s hypocrisy:

1) Regarding promoting war while being a draft dodger (you will not want to google what he claimed to have done to avoid the draft, it’s more than disgusting). You also neglected to mention that this man, who does not understand the trauma of war, advocates that health care and welfare for veterans be temporary. So he has even less respect for the sacrifice of health and peace of mind veterans make than the average recent Republican.

2) Regarding the expeditious execution of all paedophiles… would that be retroactive? Because at 21 years of age he started dating his future first wife when she was either 13 or 14 and I believe that is paedophilia under US law, and was in 1970. He’d certainly be listed on the sex offender’s register in the UK. Later in his 30’s he took out legal guardianship of a 17 year old Hawaiian girl to continue a relationship with her. That is pedophilia in 11US states.

Your site is shy on admitting who you people are but you have a perverted choice of role model.

Now, reading this made me curious, so I got to doing some research, first I’ll address the “Draft Dodger” issue.

Ted Nugent, in the above mentioned book, admitted that he was wrong back in those days, in Ted, White, and Blue, he says “I didn’t know if I was coming or going. I literally did not have a home of my own or an apartment. I slept on many a floor. I didn’t know anything, including how I got paid or even if I got paid for my music. I was young and naive. This is no excuse for my woeful and deep disconnect from the critical events of the world–and I don’t offer it as one–but it is the truth”.

That pretty much covers it all, I say. Back then, I guess he was a lefty liberal and didn’t even know it! That in itself explains a lot! The mugshot I found of the Nuge was not dated, but I believe it was some time ago, and yes he looks like a liberal to me!  Regardless, he has admitted he was wrong, repented, and is doing as much as he can to help kids of today, not make the same mistakes that he did! Unlike Bill Ayers, he admitted he was wrong! Read the book if you have any doubts!

Now, back to the draft dodging issue, I found a website, News Hounds, and their slogan is “We watch Fox so you don’t have to.” Sounds just a bit biased wouldn’t you say? Follow that link to a post related to this subject and where I found the image below, that I will address now.

Here is an excerpt from that post.

(Nugent claims) that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment.

Now my question is, what happened to the people that are all about tolerance? The very people that promote rehabilitation over punishment? Somehow the people on the left don’t practice what they preach, and will use anything to knock someone on the right! Funny how that is.

I know you can’t read all of what is on this form, click the image to go to that site and look at it if you wish, but the reason I have it here is to point out a serious flaw in that form that you can see.

The dates involved, written on this form, are 1964 through 1972, but, if you look at the bottom of the form it says JUL 77! If you have evr seen an official government form, they do not date them in the future! In fact, most of the time they are used for years, so, if this was a “real” form, wouldn’t it have a date no newer than JUL 77?

Regardless of Ted Nugents past, it is his present and future that interest me. Of course I loved his music, always have, he may have once been a far left nutjob at one time, shouldn’t that make the lefties that now critisize him feel like he is or was, one of them? Maybe it is the “was” that makes them mad?

OK, so Uncle Ted grew up, doesn’t that just prove that it is possible for all of us, to, “grow up”?

The next area to be addressed is that of pedophilia, there are many stories that can be referred to, but the one I found at OperationAwareness.com covers it well enough for this writer, so go there and read it, there are links there to other sources as well. like the article Ted Nugent wrote on wacotrib.com, that express his feelings about what should happen to John Couey. However, I see no proof of him being a pedophile, in the sense that John Couey is. OK, how many Rock Stars get it on with young women? Do you think anybody checks ID’s?

If you were to go after every entertainer that “inadvertantly” banged an underage fan, there wouldn’t be any left! There is a big difference between any “relations” that might occur under these conditions. After all, how old were Elvis and Priscilla? Get real, these girls wanted what ever happened to happen or they would not have been there! That is entirely different from a murderous preditor, don’t you think?

Here is my personal opinion on how us humans deal with our past. I believe that if you are a hard core sinner and then come to Jesus, you will become a hard core Christian and work just as hard at not being a sinner as you did to be one, the problem in that case is that we are all sinners! Another example, if you were an extreme liberal then become a conservative, odds are, you will be an extreme conservative! Just read Ted’s book, it will tell you all that you need to know about him!

Another example of why Freedom isn’t Free!

Below is an excerpt from an article at CNN, this is just another example of what is going on in the world, and why the war on terror is so important. We must remain vigilant, always on guard, and go get the terrorists with an ever growing show of force! Come on world, wake up and smell the burning bodies! Stop ignoring this, if we don’t, this could happen in a city where you or I live!

(CNN) — At least five people and a suicide bomber were killed in a Monday attack on a luxury hotel in Kabul, while six others were wounded, officials said.U.S. soldier chats with Afghan security man near Serena Hotel.The dead included an U.S. citizen and a Norwegian newspaper reporter, Carsten Thomassen, 38. He died in the hospital of wounds from the blast, said Thomassen’s newspaper, Dagbladets.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said the attack targeted Norway’s foreign minister, Jonas Gahr Stoere, who was uninjured in the attack.”I’m again very much surprised by this terrorist attack,” Ban said.Initially, Zemari Bashary, a spokesman for Afghanistan Interior Ministry, said the blast from the suicide bomber caused the casualties, but a witness disputed that report.

(OpinionHead) The above article is an example of what is going on in the world today, these extremists just don’t care about anything but death and destruction!

I don’t think I could find anybody, except them, that would disagree with me that we have got to eliminate these terrorists! This radical ideology must be dealt with.

This is where I may find some disagreement, how do we remedy this? In my opinion, there are two things that must happen, then the third can happen, and only in this order will it work.

First, we go after the enemy, where they are, and start giving them the opportunity to meet those 72 virgins! Thus preventing them from coming here!

We’re not going to forget the fact that they kill without regard for the rules of war. They don’t value innocent life like we do. In America, we say everybody is precious, everybody counts. Everybody is equal in the eyes of the Almighty.

That’s not the way the enemy thinks. They don’t value innocent life. They’re nothing but a bunch of cold-blooded killers, and that’s the way we’re going to treat them.

George W. Bush President Rallies Troops at Fort Hood

Second, we obviously can’t harm the extremist economically, they live in caves and rubble now, so, we re-educate them. How do we reeducate them? By doing the first item until they are all gone! No, I don’t mean kill the people, but that ideology, Maybe, once they see we won’t quit until they are all gone, the extremists will be more, tolerant, accepting the fact that others in the world have a right to live, and that maybe they were wrong?

Third, now that they have an understanding that death gets them just that, and nothing else, maybe they will stop blowing stuff up, and the negotiation, diplomacy if you will, can begin. Only this time, it will be the “former” extremists begging to talk! As it is now, there is nothing to discuss, they just want us dead! I believe that once the general population in the problem areas get enough, they will push out the extremists themselves, as they have been in Iraq.

With this new understanding of how the world works, maybe we can rid the planet of these extremists!

Lets go back in time a bit, maybe you will remember this quote from March 31, 2003:

After our nation was attacked on September the 11th, 2001, America made a decision: We will not wait for our enemies to strike before we act against them. We’re not going to permit terrorists and terror states to plot and plan and grow in strength while we do nothing.

George W. Bush President Updates America on Operations Liberty Shield and Iraqi Freedom

Yes, it was a long time ago, but it should still be fresh on our minds, and if you heard The State of The Union Address, January 20th 2004, you may remember this: (Proof that kicking butt works!)

Because of American leadership and resolve, the world is changing for the better. Last month, the leader of Libya voluntarily pledged to disclose and dismantle all of his regime’s weapons of mass destruction programs, including a uranium enrichment project for nuclear weapons. Colonel Qadhafi correctly judged that his country would be better off and far more secure without weapons of mass murder.

George W. Bush State of te Union Address

Even then, there were those “on our side” that just don’t understand what is actually happening in the world, that was addressed in the same speech:

I know that some people question if America is really in a war at all. They view terrorism more as a crime, a problem to be solved mainly with law enforcement and indictments. After the World Trade Center was first attacked in 1993, some of the guilty were indicted and tried and convicted, and sent to prison. But the matter was not settled. The terrorists were still training and plotting in other nations, and drawing up more ambitious plans. After the chaos and carnage of September the 11th, it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers. The terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States, and war is what they got.

George W. Bush State of te Union Address

Those of you that feel our President is a “WarMonger“, need to realize what it is all about, freedom! Any Vets out there will tell you, “Freedom isn’t Free”, so, regardless of who you are, this quote may help you understand. This is from the speech the President gave when he was sworn in, January 20, 2005.

Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world:

All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.

Democratic reformers facing repression, prison, or exile can know: America sees you for who you are: the future leaders of your free country.

The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.”

The leaders of governments with long habits of control need to know: To serve your people you must learn to trust them. Start on this journey of progress and justice, and America will walk at your side.

And all the allies of the United States can know: we honor your friendship, we rely on your counsel, and we depend on your help. Division among free nations is a primary goal of freedom’s enemies. The concerted effort of free nations to promote democracy is a prelude to our enemies’ defeat.

George W. Bush President Sworn-In to Second Term

Now you see my point of view on “The War on Terror“, yes war is ugly and people die, but, had the Vets of the past not defended our freedom, I would not have the freedom to write this!

How long will it take? Well, the Cold War lasted from 1947-1991, and that was easy compared to what we are dealing with now! Anybody that thinks we can just bring the troops home now is nuts!
