10. He looks really good wearing a flight
suit while landing on an aircraft carrier.

if he was sincere.

man – just ask Saddam Hussein.

4. He says things like “dead or alive.”

This
came in an email this week, and I wanted to share
it with you. Author is unknown.
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, 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, Rawhide's Rowdy Yates. 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, 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! Cowboys do, you know.
