If sh*t could take a crap, there would be a pile of Ted Nugent in the toilet, Pt. II

Ted Nugent's Latest Idiotic Comment: ‘Perhaps We’d Be Better Off if the South Won the Civil War’


Romney endorser/American rock singer Ted Nugent already has a long history of outlandish political statements, but now appears to have taken his BS to a whole new level. In a Washington Times op-ed blasting Obamacare, Nugent suggested today that America would have been a better country had the South won the Civil War:

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.


According to the Romney supporter, the alleged growth of federal power and overriding of states’ rights began when the North won the Civil War.

Though this statement isn’t an unusual one for a man who sports confederate flag shirts and recently made a subtle threat to kill Obama, it may pose potential political consequences for Romney’s presidential campaign. Mitt Romney actively sought Nugent’s endorsement, and even agreed to Nugent’s conditional demand that he make no new gun laws during his administration.

Just like it was almost the law that any news report about Ted Kennedy, even by the "liberally-biased media", had to mention Chappaquiddick ...

quarter troops up his ass.

Be that as it may, however, if the South had won would Texas have oil sheiks and would Alabamians be crossing the border illegally to get jobs?

Even better, since that would have voided the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo, would Mexico have reclaimed Texas?

Quit it Ted - we all know what you did to get out of serving in the Vietnam war.

Those who don't read the news papers are uninformed and those that do are misinformed.
