There is a great amount of interest in this year’s presidential
elections, as everybody seems to recognize that our next president has
to be a lot better than George Bush. The Democrats are riding high with
two groundbreaking candidates are a woman and an African-American and 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 but
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 are 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 clu b 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. 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.
