Cowboy in the White House

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 ones in the white hats, not the black hats, who were usually the bad 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....

including Rawhide's Rowdy Yates ~
always my personal favorite.

What were common attributes of these legendary cowboys?

Here are a few:

1. They were never looking for trouble.

2. But when trouble 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 or "political correctness," which no one had ever heard of back then.

9. They were a beacon of integrity in the wild, wild West.

10. They were respected. When they walked into a saloon (where they usually drank only sarsaparilla), the place became quiet, and the bad guys kept their distance.

11. If in a gunfight, they could outdraw anyone. If in a fist fight, they could beat up anyone.

12. They always won. They always got their man. In victory, they rode off into the sunset.

Those were the days when there was such a thing as right and wrong,
something blurred in our modern world, and denied by many.

Now, as a senior citizen, 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 will get his man.

Cowboys do, you know.

Not in the mold of the old west .......

:rockin: Personally I can't agree with the sentiments ascribed to the present Cowboy in the Whitehouse.


:bored: Just a personal opinion (stated enough that I don't need to again post my thoughts).

Looks like he fits the description pretty damned well to me...
 
GW Bush - needs a black cowboy hat .....

Looks like he fits the description pretty damned well to me...

I won't respond to this particular issue as I normally would (it would require a list several screens long).

Suffice it to say that I don't agree with you - as far as I am concerned GW is NOT a white hatted cowboy - he should be wearing a black hat. He is a criminal who has NOT been impeached ... but should be (he is a crook NOT a hero). He is also a liar of the first water who doesn't know what real honor is (since he has none of his own).

This is as far as I will go with this topic as I just know that there will be someone who will accuse me of being a Bush hater. I don't hate GW, I hate what he has done to the country I love and the military I spent 20+ years serving.

GW Bush can't leave the Office of the Presidency fast enough for me. The United States deserves better than him.
 
Had you read the description, you must agree that he has done everything to make him a white-hatted cowboy...Instead of blindly bashing the thread because you hate what he has done to the country, you could have read that he fits the descrition perfectly. Regardless of what you think, the description provided here fits GW well. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but from what I read, it looks like it to me.
 
GW needs a black cowboy hat - not a white one ...

1Lt

I said what I meant and meant what I said. I wasn't bashing the thread. I said what I thought of the so-called cowboy who is residing in the Whitehouse (he wasn't even born a Texan).

By the way - in the westerns the bad guy wears a black hat ... since I believe that GW is a criminal who has not been impeached - he should wear a black hat.
 
I'll take over for Chief Bones, Why Pres Bush is Not a real cowboy (according to this poll)

1. Never looks for trouble. He certainly did in Iraq. Trying to mess with Social Secuity and the Schiavo matter turned out to be really bad ideas too.
2. Faced Trouble with courage -since when Ignorance, arrogance and incompetence are a sign of courage?
3. Always on the side of right. Depends on the definition of what *right* means. Does war profiteering count as *right*? He was certainly on that side.
4. Defended the good against the bad. That must mean the Arab Oligarchs and Oil industry is the good guys and the American consumer is the bad guy.
5. High Morals. By continually lying to the American people???
6. Good Manners. Insulting people who disagree with you is not good manners in most peoples minds. Suggesting the Dems were traitors/cowards etc...
7. Honest. Honest people do not send their henchmen to do hatchet jobs on political opponents or on critics of his policies.
8. Speaking their minds and truth. Bush does speak his mind, thats the problem everybody thinks hes an idiot. He'd do better to say nothing. As for the truth, I dont think I need to list the times Bush as flat-out lied. but if you need proof, WMD.
9. Beacon of Intregrity. If Bush is a Beacon of intregrity (with all the lying manipulating, conniving, and scheming hes done over the past 6 years) that really puts the rest of us in a very bad light.
10. Respected. Bush is respected by no one, not even his own party. The last election every GOP congressman fled to the hills when they heard Bush was coming. The new GOP Govornor of Florida won the election by SNUBBING Bush.
11. Gunfight/fistfight. Real Cowboys didn't have Daddy's friends come to Juniors aid ever time he got in a jam. The only fight junior wanted to get into was against his own father, good thing his family talked him out of it, $100 says Senior would have whipped him good.
12. They always won. Bush ain't winning in Iraq. As for 'getting his man', umm, bin Laden, anyone?

Gentlemen, please try to stay civilized in here.
This topic seems the be the #1 reason these days for bans/warnings/locked threads/making enemies etc. etc. etc..

Just a friendly warning guys.. :smil:
 
Historically, cowboys originated from Spain and then Mexico. Also, In Britain, Australia and New Zealand a "cowboy such and such" describes a tradesman who performs shoddy, questionable work e.g "a cowboy plumber". The use of the word "cowboy" in this sense predates the discovery of America.
 
*sigh* Some people just read too much into these things...
1.Trouble found him with September 11th, in case you were in France.
2. He didnt back down from terrorism and HASNT backed down from people who think it fair to criticize him will not doing anything about it themselves(hypocricy at its best).
3.America being the right, terrorism being wrong.
4.He defended the American people against the bad of the Middle East.
5.Elaborate and cite, please.
6.He followed the Golden Rule. That IMO, is good manners.
7.He KISSed the American public, with that simplicity, came honesty.
8.He spoke his mind...No one said what they thought of the cowboys speaking their minds, just that they spoke them...READING TOO MUCH INTO IT?
9.Beacon of hope and freedom to those who need it.
10.I respect him. I respect him for the office he holds. I respect him for doing the best he could with the information given to him. I respect him because he handles people who talk him down every day with SUCH poise. I respect him because he handles people criticizing him and saying they could do a better job than him, when they dont even VOTE.
11. Once again...READING TOO MUCH INTO IT. He's fighting terrorism right now, in case you missed that one...
12. We are making steady progress in Iraq(much to the Communist News Networks dismay).
13. As to getting his man...The war's not over, my friend.
