Ted Nugent: ‘Best’ if South had won Civil War
Seattle Post intelligencer ^ | July 6, 2012 | N/A

Posted on 07/07/2012 4:51:17 AM PDT by raulgomez05

Aging rocker and reality TV personality Ted Nugent is emerging, even ahead of Donald Trump, as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s most embarrassing public supporter.

Nugent is at it again, reacting to the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act by writing in the Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Washington Times that America would have been better off had the South won the Civil War.

A full Nugent rant, which might be subtitled “Robe Rage”:

“The bottom line is that Chief Justice Roberts’ traitor vote will ensure more monumental spending and wasted taxes and put almost 15 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product under one of the world’s most bureaucratic, ineffective, incompetent and grossly expensive systems ever devised by man: our out-of-control federal government.

It’d hit it even if it was a he. I’d own that property, and call him Ethyl.

What the hell does Nugent’s killing an illegal bear in Alaska have to do with the position he took when he stated, “it may have been better had the South won the civil war”.

Nowadays we call them "undocumented" or "economic refugee" bears.

They came here just trying for a better life. No reason to shoot them.

What does Ted Nugent's uninformed opinion about the Civil War have to do with anything?

It crosses a lot of people's minds that "we" wouldn't have "all these problems we have today" if the South had won the Civil War.

The next step, though, is to realize that "we" would have a lot of other problems -- possibly worse than we have now -- if that had happened, and not everybody gets that far in their reasoning.

Your sign up date, plus jumping right into the middle of a longstanding fight, screams “Retread troll”.

I hadn’t noticed your signup date....welcome to FreeRepublic. There are some insecure people on these boards like cva who are distracted by such trivialities - pay them no never-mind.

Are you aware that the ‘Emancipation Proclamation’ freed exactly zero slaves under the control of the Union? (If not, I suggest you read it. The EP is clear and concise.)

Well it didn't actually free the slaves in Confederate controlled areas either, because those areas were under Confederate control. As the Union army advanced, slaves were freed. You had to start somewhere.

But even though slaves in Union-controlled areas were technically not freed by the proclamation, if I'm not mistaken, in the areas the the Union army took back, it had already stopped returning slaves who ran away to their masters, so emancipation was going on behind the scenes with or without the proclamation.

Slavery was legal and in practice in the Union at the beginning and end of the civil war.

Not for much longer. Again, emancipation had to start somewhere, and it was complete by the end of 1865. Would the slaves have happened by that date if the rebellion had succeeded?

(’Stay in our group, or we will kill you’ - is a statement of power and control.)

Hmmm ... where did that come from?

Sounds like something slaves would have been very familiar with. Something those who opposed secession probably heard as well.

The Civil War was a struggle between two governments. It wasn't some struggle of "free men" against government itself.

Like you just did. Pot meet kettle.

Well, I thank you for the welcome, I’ve run into many curmudgeons like him in my life, not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

“Spare me the bullshit grand wizard, you need to pull your head and your hood out of your ass”

I don’t think trying to call FReepers “grand master”, referring to the KKK, is a good idea.

“I asked you a question, you’re failure to respond is not my problem.”

I don’t know what makes you such a racist idiot, but it really works. You complain people argue about the civil war, yet, you are here doing nothing but name calling.

I asked you a pretty straight forward question to clarify a position, then I included a follow up statement to reinforce the fact that the South and the character of her people should NOT be and are NOT defined by the issue of slavery.

Your post made it sound like; "It was too expensive to own slaves so it would have died out anyway... etc etc". I think THAT's a more derogatory categorization of the South than what you think I was implying. You made it sound like Southerner's have no moral character but only economic interests.

THe reason for looking up sign up dates is a “non-sequitur”.

How am I a racist? Are you Al Sharpton now?
