If Ted Nugent got elected President…

The Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent, has a new book, “Ted, White and Blue, The Nugent Manifesto.” In case you don’t know, Ted’s a legend on both the rock ‘n’ roll stage and the deep woods, armed and dangerous, as one of us ignorant, bitter, backwoods rednecks clinging to our guns.

Brett Winterble at Human Events reviews Ted’s new book.

In Chapter 3, “If I Were President”, Ted describes what he would do if he were running things. These are some real conversation starters. Among the lengthy list are the following: take appropriate oil and gas from Mexico in the Middle East as payment for all debts we are owed by them and all foreign aid except for cases of extreme natural disasters; refuse to fund health care for people who don’t care about their health and who choose to live lifestyles universally considered unhealthy, like intentionally ingesting poisons like tobacco to the point of cancer, drugs and alcohol to the point of cirrhosis, bad food to the point of obesity, etc.

President Ted would also decree that the second amendment is a national concealed weapons permit for all non-felon Americans. He would limit gun-free zones and announce globally that anyone who is armed and who invades America through unauthorized ports of entry would be shot on sight.

Additionally, President Ted would institute a national castle doctrine encouraging all American citizens to shoot to neutralize any and all unauthorized invaders of their homes and places of business, and then he would give presidential medals of freedom to those who do. OK, Nuge, where do I sign up?

I'd vote for Ted in a North Carolina minute. That's slightly longer than a New York minute but we don't do anything in a hurry down here.
