What do you get when you mix a member of the Bush 30% club with too much free time and Web access?

"My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys"

Original Web page by Sam Weller. Edited by Mike Meehan (http://www.catsprn.com/cowboys.htm)



When I was a kid, cowboys were my heroes.

What were common attributes of these legendary cowboys?

Here are a few:

* They were never looking for trouble.
* But when trouble came, they faced it with courage.
* They were always on the side of right.
* They defended good people against bad people.
* They had high morals.
* They had good manners.
* They were honest.
* 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.
* They were a beacon of integrity in the wild, wild West.
* 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.
* If in a gunfight, they could outdraw anyone. If in a fist fight, they could beat up anyone.
* They always won. They always got their man. In victory, they rode off into the sunset.





They represent something good -- something pure that America has been missing.



Ronald Reagan was a cowboy. Ronald Reagan was brave, positive, and gave us hope. He wore a white hat. To the consternation of his critics, he had the courage to call a spade a spade and call the former Soviet Union what it was -- the evil empire.



President Bush distinguishes between good and evil. He calls a spade a spade, and after 9-11 called evil "evil," without mincing any words. That's what cowboys do, you know.



He also told the French to "put their cards on the table" (old West talk).



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.

:silly:

1. He's always liked FAKE cowboys, obviously...

Since I seriously doubt any of that describes the REAL thing.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

2. Yes, and he probably didn't read the Vicente Fox remarks about Bush & the palomino...

:rofl:

[krispos42]

5. Too much Roland of "The Dark Tower" series

That's his thoughts on cowboys. Bush is Roland of Gilead, Cheney is Eddie, and Condi is Susannah. Jake will be played by any of Mark Foley's conquests, and the roll of Oy will be performed by Barney.

[TygrBright]

3. "Where they usually drank sarsaparilla"?!?!?!? He's KIDDING, right?? n/t

[krispos42]

4. A lot of misspellings

And the services of the Grammer Nazi become desperately needed...

[Mythsaje]

6. I really, really try not to go there.

Really.

Like when I see a sign at work put up by one of the execs or supervisor types... "Everything belongs in it's place."

I want to tear down the sign and offer to proofread everything for an extra couple bucks an hour.

[krispos42]

8. So, then, "it's" shouldn't be possessive?

Oh, dear.

:blush:

[Mythsaje]

13. It's a nightmare...LOL

Being an author in a world of the semi-literate can be a challenge in forebearance, let me tell you.


I'm guessing you already knew "it's" wasn't possessive. :D

[krispos42]

24. um, no actually...

hence the :blush:



I always thought it looked a bit odd, but it didn't seem right without the apostrophe, either! :dilemma:

[Mythsaje]

27. It does seem counter-intuitive

but, as I tell people, use of the English language (particularly with regards to spelling) is an exercise in memory. It's far more difficult to reason your way through it because it borrows rules from all over the place.

One of the ones that makes me crazy is the "ending a sentence with a preposition." In some languages, doing that ends up screwing up the meaning of the sentence, or rendering it unintelligible. This is not true in English, yet, for some reason, the rule was dragged over and fitted into the language as if it belonged there.

One of my publishers is rather anal about it...the other--not so much.

[krispos42]

32. Had to look up the meaning of "preposition"....

<sigh>

Can you tell I didn't do well in grammer?

I write fairly well, but for God's sake don't ask me to tell ou why I put the words in that particular order!

[Catherine Vincent]

7. Oh God, I'm goanna puke now!

:puke:

9. Mama, Don't Let Chimpy Really Think He's A Cowboy

Mama, Don't Let Chimpy Really Think He's A Cowboy
Don't let him pick guitars or act like he gives a fuck
Make him be arrested for war crimes and such
Mama, Don't Let Chimpy Really Think He's A Cowboy
He'll talk like he's stoned and his brain is all blown
He loves to be near Condi, his love

Chimpy ain't easy to love and his heart is so cold
And he'd rather give you a lie than diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day
And if you can't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away

Mama, Don't Let Chimpy Really Think He's A Cowboy
Don't let him pick guitars or act like he gives a fuck
Make him be arrested for war crimes and such
Mama, Don't Let Chimpy Really Think He's A Cowboy
He'll talk like he's stoned and his brain is all blown
He loves to be near Condi, his love

Chimpy likes smoky old war rooms and fighting pretzels in the early morning
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
And them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He's always wrong he's an dumbass idiot
but his pride won't let him do things that are actually right

Mama, Don't Let Chimpy Really Think He's A Cowboy
Don't let him pick guitars or act like he gives a fuck
Make him be arrested for war crimes and such
Mama, Don't Let Chimpy Really Think He's A Cowboy
He'll talk like he's stoned and his brain is all blown
He loves to be near Condi, his love

Mama, Don't Let Chimpy Really Think He's A Cowboy
Don't let him pick guitars or act like he gives a fuck
Make him be impeached and do what should be done right

10. Freeper types have to be the dumbest creatures on the planet.

This moron has no clue that chimp's "ranch" is no more authentic than a Hollywood soundstage, and might as well be one. The "ranch" house is never even photographed because it's ultra modern and has a luxurious swimming pool steps away. The way the press portrays it, you'd think it was the Beverly Hillbillies "before" property - and moronic freepers lap it up thinking chimp lives in a modest bunkhouse and ropes horses. It'll be up for sale before pres. shit-for-brains exits the WH and moves into a Dallas mansion.

I'll bet this idiot thinks chimp won a purple heart in 'Nam, too.

He's the type of person who'd be suckered into buying ocean front property in Arizona.

[TheUniverse]

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

It sounds like Osama is more of a cowboy than GWB.

[Richard Steele]

12. And yet he licks the presidential-seal boots of a man who's the OPPOSITE of every point on his list.

Point for point, B*sh is none of those things,
and never has been.

That's a lotta koolaid right there!

[ClayZ]

14. Now I am sick!

:puke:

[pnwmom]

15. This guy is so in love with how Bush looks.

What do you want to bet he's another Larry Craig type Rethug?

[LunaSea]

16. Didn't know web pages could stick together like that....

eew

[mitchum]

18. LMAO!!!

nicely done :)

[Nay]

29. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "Stick together" -- I echo the "ewww."

Indeed, what is this hagiographic mess? This freeper doesn't have a magazine from a truck stop that he can . . .uh. . .entertain himself with?

[Norrin Radd]

17. The republics are more like these "Cowboys":

http://www.bignosekate.com/bnkcowboys.htm

[Judi Lynn]

19. NOT ONE of the list of attributes could EVER apply to Bush or Reagan.

Good grief! Someone's apparently been reading one of Lynne Cheney's history revision books. UNBELIEVABLE.

[unhappycamper]

20. What do you get? freerepublic.com n/t

[Greyhound]

21. All the real cowboys I knew just loved to go out on Friday and Saturday night

and find pretenders like his to kick the shit out of them.

Of course they were mostly assholes themselves, but still...

[Vickers]

22. Them's some mighty clean cowboy hats, mmmmm hmmmmmm.

/slingblade

[ellacott]

23. Real cowboys ride horses n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

25. I guess the infatuation didn't include this pic:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

26. There's a simple reason for that...

...the song is "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys," not "My Heroes Have Always Been Pimps"...

:rofl:

[Nay]

30. This photo always makes me laugh. U can just see the SS agents

saying to themselves "What the fuck?"

[Arugula Latte]

28. Oh, I didn't realize cowboys were SCARED OF HORSES.

Wow, you learn something every day.


I'm going to go vomit, now.

[mulsh]

31. the thing they all have in common is pretending to be cowboys.

Garry Cooper and Tom Mix came the closest but no cigar. All of the "cowboys" on this guy's site are actors. the one thing they all have in common is they were all pretending to be something they were not.

[Kurovski]

33. Cowboy fetishes

are popular with those who are out of the closet as well.

[awoke_in_2003]

35. ZZZZing. nt
