I'd like to buy a vowel please.

Perhaps you should try being a little more clear in your rant but if I read this correctly, you're giving us the "people in glass houses" speech. Now, I can't speak for anyone but me, but I did not condemn him. I did not offer my opinion on him. All I said is that this act committed by him changes my opinion of him. Please tell me how my comments prior to this post deserve any inclusion in your sermon on moral relativism.

None of us are without sin. I know that and believe it. That doesn't mean we should give people a pass for sinful bahavior. When we let them go, people only feel more comfortable to commit them.

What exactly makes Ted Nugent one of the good guys? Because he is an American? Because he is a rocker? Because he is a conservative? I know some conservatives who are pretty rotten people. I know some liberals who are very good and decent people.

I realize this may be difficult to deal with, but this is the reality of things. He cheated on his wife. He broke a solemn vow. Stop trying to pretend it didn't happen. Stop trying to give him a free ride.

There goes any good impression I had about him.
Chief: You sort of got caught up with multiple posts that seemed to be unfair to an otherwise stand-up guy. I'm not a real fan but I love to hear "18" and as a public persona he has always espoused conservative principles - at least that I have seen. Pro-Bush, pro-troops, pro-family, pro-RKBA, etc.

That he messed up is obvious - that it could occur to a celebrity - constantly tempted did not astonish me. While I have been faithful I cannot say, given the length of his career and no doubt the many "opportunities" that presented themselves that I would not have failed as well. Its the 'ol walk a mile thing if you know what I mean.

I can't see throwing someone under the bus for a single transgression especially when all else points towards good character, a forgiving wife, etc. ;-) Have to post now - porch is flooding ... ;-) Not kidding!
