Baffles me as to how it is that someone is tagged a Democrat if they have little use for Nugent's actions, words, and hypocrisy on hunting issues, yet if you support his advocacy for gun issues, you are tagged a Republican.
I have never been a Democrat, but most times when Nugent opens his mouth about hunting topics, public lands, game laws, or issues affecting the average hunter, I shake my head. I find myself hoping that the media does not look at him as a voice or model for hunting.
When he debates Peirs Morgan on gun issues, I laugh and say, "Go get 'em Ted."
Point is, you can agree with his opinions on certain issues and disagree with his opinions on other issues, and it doesn't make you a Republican or Democrat. I would opine it makes you an independent thinker; someone who isn't going to bow down to a public personality and ignore some pretty striking violations of hunting laws and some behavior that many hunters feel is not beneficial to the future of hunting.
IMO, worship of any person, and worship is a close term to explain the manner in which some view Nugent, is never a healthy thing. I'm baffled by the mindset of those who like to categorize anyone who might have a different opinion than Nugent.
Put me in whatever category suits you. Nugent is not the person I would choose to represent hunting. He has earned the position he holds toward the bottom of many hunter's list.
As a life member of the NRA, I am fine with him being on the Board of Directors of the NRA.
