Dear me! I can only imagine the backlash in classic rock and hard rock power ballad circles – not to mention among squirrel eaters – which must surely be aimed at Mister Ted Nugent after his Dixie-Chick-On-Steroids Anti-Obama rant in Royal Flush Magazine. During the interview Mr. Nugent said, “I think that Barack Hussein Obama should be put in jail. It is clear that Barack Hussein Obama is a communist.”
Ted Nugent "Dixie-Chicks" Obama to the max.
After all, we are a nation at war. This man has the audacity to undermine the authority of the Commander In Chief in a public forum like this. Imagine the comfort and aid this gives to Al Qaeda! Obviously, I’m just reversing what many on the right said about the Dixie Chicks and their President Bush remarks.
I know that the folks who wanted the Dixie Chicks strung up for disclaiming George Bush as a Texan at a concert in the country of our closest ally will not flinch; they will reflexively see that Mister Nugent’s music is dashed from the dozens of station playlists still playing it! When they see him hawking his new album or a Venison Spice Rub out of the trunk of his car, they will surely taunt him with cries of “Shame Shame Traitor Shame!” Those Americans who taught the Dixies what’s-what are sure to not want to be seen as hypocrites, and surely, too, they will tell Mister Nugent in no uncertain terms that his best course is to Shut Up And Sing (how one does both at the same time is for the Motor City Madman to figure out…come to think of it, was he really from the city of Detroit? He seems kinda country to me…but I digress.)
I am not sure what charge Mister Nugent would have the President jailed on. In his statement he merely states the opinion that President Obama is a communist, and that the President’s middle name is Hussein. Perhaps there are counties in Northern Michigan where these are jail-worthy offenses; if so, then let their varying sheriffs greet Air Force One when it arrives in their county, and let Nugent Justice take its course. Until then, we will – if only for consistency’s sake – have to wait to jail, and otherwise depose, the elected leader of the country until there is some actual proof that he has done something requiring him to be put in jail and removed from power.
In the meantime, we will wait for Heartland Values to enact their swift and sure justice on Mister Nugent for his denunciation of the Commander In Chief during a time of war. Yeah, right.
