It used to tick me off when the Muslim detractors in the Middle East, or the socialist detractors in Europe, Hollywood and others called our President a cowboy, but the more I think about it, the more glad I am that he is. When I was a kid, cowboys were my heroes.
Well, I mean the good guys.
There was Tex Ritter, Tom Mix, Buck Jones,
Hopalong Cassidy, the Lone Ranger.....
there was Red Ryder, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers......
then later, there was Marshall Matt Dillon, Hoss &Li'l Joe Cartwright,
Paladin, Maverick and others....
Rawhide's Rowdy Yates
What were common attributes of these legendary cowboys?
Here are a few: regardless of what people thought or "political correctness," which no one had ever heard of back then. (where they usually drank only sarsaparilla), the place became quiet, and the bad guys kept their distance.
Those were the days when there was such a thing as right and wrong, something blurred in our modern world, and true good or bad is denied by many.
Now, as a mid aged dad, 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 hated Ronald Reagan.
They also 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.
The radical Muslims are wrong. In the old West, might did not make right.
Right made might.
Cowboys in white hats were always on the side of right, and that was their might.
I am glad my President is a cowboy.
He got his man!
