Ted NugentCritiques

What can I say? You will either disagree or agree with him. Odds are good if you fall in the conservative spectrum, you will like him better than if you are on the liberal side. He does have some common sense ideas, and he does seem to have thought them through. However, like a lot of hardcore libertarians, a sense of extreme individualism, often at the expense of others, is present. Things like taking personal responsibility, a good work ethic, and values are certainly things I can agree on. Pretty much cutting out things like safety nets under the hopes that the private sector and charities will take care of the most needy just are not true. All we have to do is look at the current environment to see that without regulation the haves will pretty much screw everyone else over. Nugent seems to miss that. But he is not totally black and white, which may be why some on both sides of the political spectrum can find some common points. If nothing else, the book did give me some things to think about, and that, for me, is always a good thing.

Some thoughts are radical some are very good....over all....i would vote for him.

Gotta love a guy who is all about personal responsibility and second amendment rights.

Although I loved this book--not only because I'm a big BUGE fan, but because I feel it's important--I gave it three stars only because much of the material Nuge covers here has been handled not only on his blog over the years, but in many other conservative books.

As a plus, this is a really good read if you'd like a basic, cut the BS-look at issues that are important to every American (i.e. Ted really breaks things down into layman's terms, albeit with his fun take).

While this should be an eye-opener for those who have been blinded by the masses, those into the conservative-look on things WILL enjoy it for Ted's prose, but info-wise, there may not be too much here you haven't already heard.

Typical uncle Ted. Raw and straight forward. You can feel his energy as you are reading and I think that even if you diagree with most of his veiws you will still find it entertaining. I loved it!
