For Mailer, manliness these days sees to be to get liquored up and use some gal-pal as a punching bag.

I was thinking that one of the reasons, if not the main reason, liberals hate Bush so much is that he typifies everything about the American middle class the left hates:
1) He believes in free markets, individualism, and limited government.
2) He believes in the greatness of America and our responsibility to defend her.
3) He believes there is such a thing as right and wrong.

The so called champions of the little person are beyond condescending.

What Mr. Mailer and the Democrats with cataracts can't come to terms with is that George W. Bush is not an intellectual lightweight and simply calling him one doesn't make him one. His critics can't understand how a man who can't talk a good game can play one so well. They measure the man by what James Q. Wilson calls "the college definition of intelligence," rather than the real thing.

I've said this many times before though not so eloquently. Quite often, the strongest leadership does not need glib words or mere academic skills.

Talk is cheap. W. acts.

This article was written by a woman, but you would not know that except for her name. [If I missed something, let me know.] I think that this written work is masculine in the best sense. That is quite an achievement, given its topic. Bravo Zulu
