Synopsis
America has been craving leadership - and at last a gun-slinging, mega-rock star, deerslayer, and patriot has stepped forward to provide it.
Make way for Ted Nugent.
Cocked, locked, and ready to rock, the Motor City Madman, the thinking man's Abraham Lincoln, has unleashed the ultimate high-octane political manifesto for the ages in Ted, White, and Blue - the most important patriotic statement since the Constitution.
In Ted, White, and Blue you'll discover:
• Why war is the answer to so many of our current problems
• Why if Ted were a Mexican, he"d start a revolution (and how, since he's not, we can control our own borders)
• How to put Uncle Sam on a diet (a waste-watchers program for government)
• The Ted Plan for energy independence by 2018 - how to keep America rockin" into the future
• How to change the world for the better through the power of God, guns, and rock "n" roll
If you care about America, if you want to preserve, protect, and defend the land of the free and the home of the brave, if you're fed up with lazy, whining, fear-mongering, government-gorging Al Gores, Michael Moores, and Obamaniacs, then you need to read Ted, White, and Blue: The Nugent Manifesto.
Publishers Weekly
Love him or loathe him, veteran rocker, commentator, and neo-libertarian rabble-rouser conservationist Nugent is hard to ignore. His "manifesto," a collection of essays and ruminations, will prove bracing but familiar to those acquainted with his antic, aggressive voice-in-the-wilderness style and often controversial stances on hot-button issues like gun control, welfare and self-reliance. Among loud, provocative analysis of a dozen issues (plus a chapter devoted to his last essay collection, 2001's God, Guns & Rock and Roll), Nugent puts together an "If I were president" list that includes eliminating welfare except for military personnel, making prisoners plant trees, forcing people in New Orleans live on higher ground and executing child molesters. While many of his suggestions-meant to "piss you off" as well as think-are pat, or even curmudgeonly ("I am convinced that most kids today have never heard the word 'posture'"), they're balanced by common sense and a healthy respect for the Golden Rule. Longtime fans will revel in Nugent's loudmouth charm and his rhapsodic take on discovering the guitar; whether he'll persuade newcomers that global warming is "the greatest hoax ever played on Americans," or that he himself is "a large, in charge, ruggedly independent, angry black man" is doubtful, but this maverick never claimed to be a uniter.

Ted Nugent is to the right of Pat Roberstonby PaineToday

October 26, 2009: Fundamentally there is not much political difference, if at all, between Ted Nugent and Pat Roberston. Nugent is indeed to the right of Sean Hannity and maybe Newt Gingrich. Yes, he has that rock star thing going for him but he is a rightwing reactionary. Name a rightwing position and he has it. He wants to execute heroin drug dealers. I guess he would have wanted to execute bootleggers during prohibition. He deplores what he calls political correctness but he is aghast that religious beliefs might be mocked. Now, I don't believe going up to people's face and mocking their religion but it is ironic that those who most loudly shout about PCism, when it comes to religion, are the biggest supporters of PC.
The fact is religion is supported and promoted by the government (through a Pledge of Allegiance mentioning a deity among other ways) and the Christian Right wants the government to keep doing that. When atheists or even progressive Christians complain about this unfairness then they are called intolerant. They also by the way get death threats. For the life of me, I don't know why a religion that controls talk radio, has hundreds of radio stations, several cable channels, hundreds of religious books needs the help of the government when countering humanists who are lucky to publish a few magazines a year. Nugent also calls Sarah Brady (whose husband was loyal conservative and Reagan aide James Brady and who was shot in an attempt on the life of President Reagan) evil. The Brady bill has stopped hundreds of thousands of illegal gun sales to those who wished to do law abiding citizens harm. Yes, criminals do go to gun stores with the intent to buy guns. Not all guns are sold on the street. Indeed, many on the street were originally bought at a gun store or an unregulated gun show. The 2nd ammendment is important and concealed carry might have merit but common sense guns laws are needed. Even if you disagree with Sarah Brady, she is hardly evil.I Also Recommend: The Portable Atheist, Age of Reason, Infidel.

July 16, 2009: I'm an avid book listener and this is one of the best I've listened to in a long time. Ted reads it himself, which lends to the enjoyment. If you're fed up with liberal spin and enjoy shoot-from-the-hip ideas and truths about our country, where it is and why it is, then this is a must-read.
