Evan,
It’s about feeling the the commander in chief will truly defend our country against terrorism. I don’t feel that Gore would have or Kerry will do what needs to be done in this war. Just my opinion.

Now THAT IS manliness. Other presidents just talk about killing Arabs, Bush is brave enough to actually do it!

This is my first visit here & I love it! Thank you LaShawn & everyone that’s been posting.

When I awoke to the news coverage on 9/11, my first words were, “We are at war. Thank God Gore ins’t President.”

A Time for Manhood
Check this Op-Ed in the New York Post:

THIS November’s election is about something everyone is thinking about, and almost no one is talking about. Words like “national security” are fig-leaves for the real subject: manhood.

Why does manhood m…

The Big Whopper
Increasingly I think this generation of young men feels lied to. We were told that military service is for saps. That only losers join the military. That the right thing to do is neuter ourselves by going to college and…

This about says it for me…

Jeremy Glick, the 225-pound judo champion who called home from Flight 93 on his cell phone to say goodbye and explain what was about to happen: “The men voted to attack the terrorists.”

Real men respect each other enough to vote and then to, in the words of Nike, just do it.

From Lord of the Rings:

“Aragorn: If by my life or death, I can protect you, I will.”

What an Awesome Oath!

How about this one?

Aragorn: Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.

An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*

Nothin worse than a wimpy, whiney, girly man……..except for liberal ladies, and Heinz Ketchup freeloaders.

I wonder who wears the pants in the Kerry household? (Don’t go there, bloggies)
