Rick Perry, member of the CFR and Bilderberg, complete phony. Oh well, at least Ted does have cajones. I wonder if he reads anything enlightened or has any friends or confidantes who are aware.
Hard to imagine Ted reading anything heavy or even being much of a listener. He's too busy doing all the talking.
In this particular case, Nugent's apology goes not to the insults he directed toward Obama, Reid, et al, but to the candidates whose campaigns may have been tarred by association. Ted's praise of Rick Perry and the others was downright stupid. And worse, undeserved.
I was a Nugent fan in the 1970s because I was 13 and dug his naughty lyrics. By 15 or 16, I outgrew Ted's music and persona. As a guitar player, he was rendered irrelevant by Edward Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, and other virtuoso rock guitarists. No longer could Ted boast of blowing away all other guitar players, as he declared in the 70's.
What is admirable about Ted Nugent is his "don't tread on me" streak. When Ted says he doesn't need a Second Amendment to tell him he (and every man) has an inherent right to defend himself and his family with weapons, he makes a very important point that is all too often underplayed or missed entirely by the learned sophisticates who write and speak on behalf of patriotism and gun owners' rights.
Yet he is far from learned or sophisticated in his paleo-libertarianism. Nugent cites Rosa Parks as a heroic figure. He waves the flag when DC's troops invade foreign lands. He gets flattered by attention from big shots like Rick Perry in his new adopted home state of Texas.
The only candidate near-worthy of Ted Nugent's support in Texas is Steve Stockman.
