They call my President a "cowboy."
It used to tick me off when Muslims, the socialists in Europe, or our own Hollywood and various cesspools of America called my President a "cowboy." The more I think about it, the more glad I am that he is.
When I was a kid, cowboys were my heroes.
There was Tom Mix, Hopalong Cassidy, Red Ryder, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, then later Marshall Matt Dillon, the Virginian and many others. Gene Autry could beat any bad guy, and then sing a song to his girl friend. And then there was the Lone Ranger & Tonto, both westerners on the side of right (remember "...the thrilling days of yesteryear"?)
What were common attributes of these legendary cowboys?
1. They were never looking for trouble.
2. But when it came, they faced it with courage.
3. They were always on the side of right.
4. They defended good people against bad people.
5. They had high morals.
6. They had good manners.
7. They were honest.
8. They spoke their minds and they spoke the truth, regardless of what people thought.
9. They were a beacon of integrity in the wild, wild West.
10. They were respected. When they walked into a saloon the place became quiet, and the bad guys kept their distance.
11. In a gunfight, they could outdraw anyone. In a fist fight, they could beat up anyone.
12. They always won. They always got their man. After victory, they rode off into the sunset.
Those were the days when there was such a thing as right and wrong,
Those were the days when women were respected and treated as ladies, because they acted like ladies.
I still like cowboys. They represent something good -- something pure that America has been missing.
Ronald Reagan was a cowboy. I like Ronald Reagan, who was brave, positive, and who gave us hope. He wore a white hat. To the consternation of his liberal critics, he had the courage to call a spade a spade and call the former
Soviet Union what it was -- the evil empire. Liberals hate President Bush because he distinguishes between good and
evil. He calls a spade a spade, and after 9-11 called evil "evil," without mincing any words, to the shock of the liberal establishment. That's what cowboys do, you know. He also told the French to "put their cards on the table" (old West talk), which they did, exposing their cowardice and greed.
In the old West, might did not make right. Right made right. Cowboys in white hats were always on the side of right, and that was their might. I am glad my President is a cowboy.
