You are thinking to yourself, I want to model myself after a real man.  Someone who knows how to work hard, clear brush, brand a steer.  Someone not afraid to get his hands dirty.  Oh, and I’d like to also grow up to be the President of the United States.  Let’s see… I need some role models.

Of course, Reagan was a Man’s Man.  He was not afraid to get his hands dirty and knew what hard work was.  He enjoyed a hard days work on his California ranch.  Now that’s a tough guy, deserving of a cowboy hat.  Anyone who knows how to sling a chainsaw knows how to work hard.

And George W. Bush seems to have been cut from similar cloth.  A bad day working on his Crawford, TX ranch beats a good day working in that pansy oval office.  Here he is clearing brush at Prairie Chapel Ranch.  People made jokes about his twang and his swagger, but those were the dainty elites who prefer their manicures and lotiony hands over some dirt under the fingernails and a good healthy callus.  Why is it then that the Democrats are so popular with the blue collar working class?  You’d think a working man would relate to this.  But I digress…

Even Bill Clinton was iconic as the King of Cool.  OK, he’s not working a chainsaw down on the ranch.  And let’s be honest, 20 acres in Westchester County isn’t exactly steer roping territory.  But the man gets chicks.  And he’s pretty cool with that sax and some sun glasses.  He may be a democrat and a power hungry liberal, but he’s not exactly a pansy.

And then you have Barack Obama…  I just don’t know what to say here.  Nothing wrong with cycling.  But that fender/mud flap?  Dude… time to man up!

Michael Moore, speaking on Keith Olbermann’s Countdown, said “The smart rich know they can only build the gate so high. And, and, sooner or later history proves that people when they’ve had enough aren’t going to take it anymore. And much better to deal with it nonviolently now, through the political system, than what could possibly happen in the future, which nobody wants to see.”

Does he really mean it when he says nobody wants to see violence and riots in the streets?  I doubt that.  He’s used violent rhetoric and metaphor before.  I think he’d love to see a communist uprising in America.

Speaking to the American Islamic College Conference in Chicago, Dem Rep. Mike Quigely (D-IL) stated that he feels “it’s appropriate for me to apologize on behalf of this country for the discrimination you face.”

No, Congressman Quigely.  It is not appropriate.  Members of Congress do not specifically speak on behalf of the country.  Maybe it would be appropriate for you to speak on behalf of yourself.  You do speak on behalf of your constituents when speaking in Congress.  But when you are out in a public forum, you do not speak on behalf of the country.

Last night, President Obama dragged out a few lines of rhetoric that frankly are wearing quite thin.  He uses them because they are effective.  And they are effective because the average American is more concerned about who will win America’s Got Talent than they are about understanding our economy and the tax code.

“Right now, Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate than his secretary – an outrage he has asked us to fix.  We need a tax code where everyone gets a fair shake, and everybody pays their fair share.”

It is true that Buffet does pay a lower rate than his secretary if his entire income is factored.  The problem, and what he and Barack hope you don’t figure out, is that the reason for this is the marjority of Buffet’s earnings in a year come from capital gains, which are taxed at a lower rate than regular earned income.  If we only took his earned income and compared his tax rate to that of his secretary, his tax rate is about double that of his secretary.  But that wouldn’t move the commie agenda forward, now would it?

So, since the regular income tax rate is already progressive, what is the solution?  Is it to tax capital gains at an even higher rate?  Would it be to tax all income at a single rate?  They won’t say.  I’m sure this is because they would be eaten alive by any reasonable economist.  Raise the cap gains rate and you will see investment in the US economy move elsewhere.  Buffet knows this.  I’m not sure why he insists on his tired tax mantra.

…and can get people killed.

Fredrick Kunkle would be wise to heed this advice.  He published this article in the Washington Post:

SEAL-spotting becomes local sport in Virginia Beach after bin Laden raid

Does he not care about exposing too much information to the enemy?  Does he even know there is an enemy? If this is how we operate in war-time, we may as well get a list of names of DevGru members and hand it out to Taliban and al Queda members in Afganistan and Pakistan.  That would just save everyone a lot of time.

And the Washington Post editorial staff is complicit. They should have known better than to publish this story.  But I guess they don’t care about the safety of our nation’s elite special forces and national security, either.
