The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates — a woman and an African-American — while the conservative Republicans are in a quandary about their party’s nod to a quasi-liberal maverick, John McCain. Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special-interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians. There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man. The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard. His common traits are that he isn’t looking for anything from anyone — just the promise to be able to make his own way on a level playing field. In many cases, he is an independent businessman and employs several people. He pays more than his share of taxes and works hard. The victimhood syndrome buzzwords — “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” — don’t resonate with him. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him. He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the company Christmas party, three sets of braces, three college educations or a beautiful wedding. He believes the Constitution is to be interpreted literally, not as a “living document” open to the whims and vagaries of a panel of judges who have never worked an honest day in their lives. The Angry White Man owns firearms, and he’s willing to pick up a gun to defend his home and his country. He is willing to lay down his life to defend the freedom and safety of others, and the thought of killing someone who needs killing really doesn’t bother him. The Angry White Man is not a metrosexual, a homosexual or a victim. Nobody like him drowned in Hurricane Katrina — he got his people together and got the hell out, then went back in to rescue those too helpless and stupid to help themselves, often as a police officer, a National Guard soldier or a volunteer firefighter. His last name and religion don’t matter. His background might be Italian, English, Polish, German, Slavic, Irish, or Russian, and he might have Cherokee, Mexican, or Puerto Rican mixed in, but he considers himself a white American. He’s a man’s man, the kind of guy who likes to play poker, watch football, hunt white-tailed deer, call turkeys, play golf, spend a few bucks at a strip club once in a blue moon, change his own oil and build things. He coaches baseball, soccer and football teams and doesn’t ask for a penny. He’s the kind of guy who can put an addition on his house with a couple of friends, drill an oil well, weld a new bumper for his truck, design a factory and publish books. He can fill a train with 100,000 tons of coal and get it to the power plant on time so that you keep the lights on and never know what it took to flip that light switch. Women either love him or hate him, but they know he’s a man, not a dishrag. If they’re looking for someone to walk all over, they’ve got the wrong guy. He stands up straight, opens doors for women and says “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am.” He might be a Republican and he might be a Democrat; he might be a Libertarian or a Green. He knows that his wife is more emotional than rational, and he guides the family in a rational manner. He’s not a racist, but he is annoyed and disappointed when people of certain backgrounds exhibit behavior that typifies the worst stereotypes of their race. He’s willing to give everybody a fair chance if they work hard, play by the rules and learn English. Most important, the Angry White Man is pissed off. When his job site becomes flooded with illegal workers who don’t pay taxes and his wages drop like a stone, he gets righteously angry. When his job gets shipped overseas, and he has to speak to some incomprehensible idiot in India for tech support, he simmers. When Al Sharpton comes on TV, leading some rally for reparations for slavery or some such nonsense, he bites his tongue and he remembers. When a child gets charged with carrying a concealed weapon for mistakenly bringing a penknife to school, he takes note of who the local idiots are in education and law enforcement. He also votes, and the Angry White Man loathes Hillary Clinton. Her voice reminds him of a shovel scraping a rock. He recoils at the mere sight of her on television. Her very image disgusts him, and he cannot fathom why anyone would want her as their leader. It’s not that she is a woman. It’s that she is who she is. It’s the liberal victim groups she panders to, the “poor me” attitude that she represents, her inability to give a straight answer to an honest question, his tax dollars that she wants to give to people who refuse to do anything for themselves. There are many millions of Angry White Men. Four million Angry White Men are members of the National Rifle Association, and all of them will vote against Hillary Clinton, just as the great majority of them voted for George Bush. He hopes that she will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, and he will make sure that she gets beaten like a drum.
America's Heritage: Founded, Perfected by Angry White Men By John Lillpop | Published 07/4/2007 Although liberal politicians, aided and abetted by biased mainstream media, rarely miss an opportunity to tear down Caucasian men, unabridged American history is actually quite kind to this demographic. For it was a courageous band of angry white men who offered all of humanity a glimmer of hope for freedom from oppression and tyranny. On July 4, 1776, the following Declaration poured forth from the hearts of a group of courageous angry white men: Despite a complete(and probably unconstitutional in 2007) lack of diversity, these angry white men created a formula for self-governance and freedom that has made America the envy of the entire world. Which is not to say that diversity is harmful, or not beneficial to America. But it is to say that those who are on a never-ending crusade to discredit our founding fathers need to replace the anti-white rhetoric with a measure of thankfulness. That demographic has produced and perfected the most successful and prosperous society in human history. They genuinely deserve the respect and undying gratitude of all Americans-- be they white, brown, black, red, or yellow! HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! Link
We have been walked on and leaned on long enough, now it is time for the rest to find their own support.
I'm tired of all the free hand-outs to corporations, special interest groups, pork barrel spending and welfare to those who just don't want to work, while I bust my butt to support them all.
What I fail to understand it that we took this great country from the savages and built it into a super-power. We developed enough surplus to attend the needs of the ones that can't take care of themselves. We haven't asked for anything for nothing; we've always been prepared to pay the costs of our needs and wants. Why have we let the testicularlly challenged have so much voice in how to share the wealth we have earned?
I don't know why it has been let go so long. But I know for sure that it is way past time to correct the problem, and bring this country back on track. Thomas Jefferson said we need a revelution every 10 years to keep things in line, we are way behind. OGM
I may comment on the rest of it later, but that sentence fragment - for me - negated all the other stuff I may have agreed with in the entire piece. BUSH is one of the reasons we're so deep in shite right now. Maybe we'd not have been any better off with any other choice (who knows, but hindsight is always blindly 20/20), but he's such a freakin' ..... ASS. (bites tongue, trying to be nice in case someone still actually has the errant thought he's a decent president ) Easy. It's real easy to let someone else handle a problem, any problem. Even easier to bitch about it later. Real hard to be the one person in the crowd trying to talk sense and warn others who are dead set against **fill in the blank with what you see as harmful/wrong**. Whole lot easier to throw your hands up, walk away and say "whatever!". Hmmmm, kinda like what a few of you have decided to do come election time..........
