Hirp vs Nugent

The Washington Times gave Ted Nugent some space to write an op-ed. Below is his text, followed by my own:

Africa isn't called the Dark Continent for no reason. Africa has forever been a politi- cal nightmare full of overt corruption, tribal warfare, genocide, murderous regimes and brutal dictators.

There is no country in Africa that truly respects freedom or the rule of law. The majority of countries in Africa are in economic ruin because of political corruption and a history ugly with cruel despotism. That's why starvation and disease are rampant. AIDS is projected to kill as much as half the populations of some countries. Genocide is a way of life. There is little light in Africa.

Africa is an international scab. Bono of the band U2 advocates that if we forgive debt African nations owe, peace and tranquillity will sprout up mystically. The real problem is murdering, corrupt thugs and punks like Col. Gadhafi. Once we swat one of these African cockroaches or intervene in their civil war, where do we stop?

America can't solve all the world's problems, nor should it try. We have enough of our own problems to address without getting involved in a Libyan civil war.

Spending national treasure by bombing Libya is not wise when we have no strategic interest in Libya and we are bankrupt. It would have been much cheaper for the CIA to arrange for the cockroach colonel's demise than to spend billions and billions of dollars that we don't have in hopes he is toppled. Whatever happened to that wonderful American ingenuity of improvise, adapt and overcome?


Ted Nugent isn't called the “Motor City Madman” for no reason. Nugent has forever been a complete nightmare full of overt racism, class warfare, wearing camouflage and shitty music.


There is no sane person in America that truly respects Nugent or crap he spews. The majority of Nugent’s stances are in-defensible because he’s completely out of touch with reality, and is hell bent on serving himself and not helping society. That’s why greed and anger are rampant. Bullets are projected to kill more than half of the populations in some countries. Ignorance is a way of life. There is little good in Nugent.

Nugent is a pop culture scab. Ted of the Nugent advocates that if we forgive all have guns, peace and tranquility will sprout up mystically. The real problem is selfish, murdering, corporate thugs and punks like Col. Nugent. Once we swat one of these American cockroaches or intervene in his personal war, where do we stop?

I can't solve all the Nugent’s problems, nor should I try. I have enough of my own problems to address without getting involved in a Nugent’s war on decency.

Spending my time by verbally bombing Nugent is not wise when I have no strategic interest in Nugent. It would have been much cheaper for his father wear a condom or to arrange for the cockroach Nugent’s demise than to spend minutes and minutes that we don't have in hopes he is toppled. Whatever happened to that wonderful American ingenuity of improvise, adapt and overcome? Oh, it’s still here, it just shines through when we’re not busy hating everyone who isn’t like us.
