You Can't Handle The Nuge

Constitutional scholar Ted Nugent said in an op-ed last week that Chief Justice of the Supreme Court erred when he voted that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was, in fact, constitutional.  We should all pay close attention to Mr. Nugent’s nuanced interpretation of the ruling.   After all, the mind behind Wango Tango surely knows more about jurisprudence than the majority of the highest court in our land.  Who am I to argue if Mr. Nugent says that Harvard graduate and Bush appointee Roberts is a "traitor" and a "turncoat"?  His poetic wizardry would leave my words wanting. 

If you study these lyrics you will see exactly what I mean:

Wango Tango

Wango Tango

It's a Wango Tango

Ooooh yeah! (oooooh..)

Baby!

I couldn’t have said it better myself.  There is another clue in Wango Tango that The Motor City Madman has a deep understanding of our health care system:

Is my baby alive? (Is my baby alive?)

Is my baby alive? (Is my baby alive?)

Is my baby alive?

She Wango'd to death

His baby's untimely death was sad but inevitable.  It is unclear, however, if her death-by-Wango could have been prevented with universal health insurance.  Maybe the death panel got her.  We’ll never know.  Luckily for the uninsured Cat Scratch Fever was eradicated in 1979.

In his op-ed, The Nuge offers a potential solution to our nation’s health care conundrum: slavery increased states’ rights:

I’m beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War.

I support this idea 100%.  Actually I support it 117% because I am over-leveraged with love for this idea.   Who among us doesn't long for the days when there were tons of states' rights and hardly any of those pesky civil ones.  Heck, the states have been doing a bang-up job of governing themselves lately. To wit:

• North Carolina recently added a constitutional amendment to make same-sex marriage illegal, even though it was already illegal. Never mind that the amendment also removed a lot of other rights at the same time.  Take that, gays! 
• Arizona has been trying to take away same-sex benefits for 3 years now even though the efforts have been repeatedly rebuffed.  I hope their attorneys consult with Mr. Nugent before they argue before the Supreme Court otherwise they will surely lose again.
• Michigan temporarily barred a state representative because she said the word “vagina” during a debate on abortion.  We certainly can’t have anyone using medical terms when legislating the body.  It is unseemly and makes politicians uncomfortable.  No one wants that.

I could go on but you probably get the idea.  There is really nothing more to say or do except to wait for Mr. Nugent’s next political nugget.   Until then we can always turn to his music for comfort.
