Ted Nugent ain't got no soul

Ted Nugent, once The Motor City Madman, now Texas Wildman, is a weekly contributor to the Waco Tribune-Herald. In his latest article, The Nuge takes a shot at "Defining 'soulless' in America".

God gave man a soul, a powerful, instinctual moral and intellectual True North compass, something that completely differentiates us from all other living creatures.

Animals stomp, kill and eat each other, even their own, to survive. Man has the power of reason, of calculation, of dreaming. Man can choose to do good.

That's what makes us the most dangerous game of all.

Respecting the gift of life and the power of responsible choice, man can pursue complete happiness while being a positive force for all things.

When man experiences personal benefits from wrong choices at the expense of others and the environment, he has lost his soul.

And then it's open season on your sorry ass.

His misdeeds will eventually catch up with him. In the meantime, the majority of good people will be forced to perform damage control.

That is the feeble and pathetic condition of soullessness. All mankind should fight and strive to banish those who so callously disregard the good of others. Apathy shows no soul.

What's good for The Nuge is good for everyone. If you disagree, then you ain't got no soul.

The abandonment of common sense, logic and self-evident truths has brought about this incredibly stupid suicide of the American soul.

People actually feel comfortable making these chimp-like choices.

Those of us who know better must galvanize and put pressure on those ruining things for everybody.

Indecent behavior and choices must be demonized and condemned and those guilty ostracized from our society.

Anybody without a gun, and a knife, and a handkerchief, and a ChapStick, get the fuck outta here!
