Ted

um, 
certainly for those of us who think that
there are millions of “ted’s” out there,
brandishing their guns in the wilderness
shooting off rounds like it was going out of fashion &
yakkety yakking to their buddies 
about how women are “varmints,” in fact “*****es” to be
traded in for dalmations,
about how Mr. Obama & Mrs. Clinton should perform felatio
on and/or be impaled in some fashion by a machine gun,
about puncturing the lungs of animal right’s activists,
about having killed all the “hippy” american soldiers in Vietnam
if they’d been sent there, 
or in the case of Nugent’s Japanese fans,
about how they “need him” despite the fact that the whole population is still
“all assholes” & 
how foreigners to him are in general, not worthy of selling him doughnuts 
or pumping his gas
because they are “scum”…
yes,
certainly to some of us, ted could seem a bit unnerving,
but when he speaks of the First Amendment,
one has to understand that his right to spout all his ********
is the right to spout all of ours &
though the secret service may be watching him because of his shallow threats 
concerning the life of Mr. Obama if he wins the great american extravaganza again,
surely there is no reason to fear a man who needs to pump up his ego
by continuing to sing about “making the ***** purr” in his only hit,
a song he wrote 35 years
ago,
or the winners who keep him company.
