He must have missed the part that a man will leave his father and his mother and cling to his wife (1) and the two shall be as one flesh.....whatever
I laughed out loud when I heard Trump say that.
He must think we have the IQ of a gnat to believe that tripe.
DONALD TRUMP: WARRIOR MALE EXTRAORDINAIRE
Exclusive: Kent G. Bailey, Ph.D., says such men have ‘sustained the human race’
The concept of “paleopolitics” is an obvious derivative of human paleopsychology. Indeed, we may easily infer that humans are, at base, political animals who obey more the law of the jungle than the pieties of high culture or the moral righteousness of the godly. Politics is selfish and egoistic, tribalistic and xenophobic to its core, and will readily go to war to win at any cost. It sells itself as “progressive” and of higher things yet most often operates in the gutters of human nature. Politics is not for fops, Pollyannas or the faint-hearted; it is internecine war by another name. It is the game of war, and only the true warriors win.
In the past 60 years or so, America has become progressively feminized, and the archetypal warrior male has virtually disappeared. However, some tough ladies have stepped in to fill the vacuum including Phyllis Schlafly, Laura Ingraham, Sarah Palin and Michelle Malkin and many others. But how would any of these wonderful and strong women compete head-to-head in a private conference room with Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un of North Korea, or the mullahs and emirs of the volatile Middle East? We have seen how poorly our current girly-man-in-chief, Barack Obama, has dealt with the world of violent supermales out there. From the dawn of time, mutual respect among warrior males is the coin of the realm in these matters.
Fox News’ Megyn Kelly seems to see herself as an alpha female capable of taking on any and all opposition – male or female. Yet, when set against the unadulterated masculine intellectual powers and cunning of Donald Trump, it was not a fair fight. She was overpowered to the point of speechlessness and had to take a 10-day vacation to lick her wounds. When the ladies operate within a protective penumbra of political correctness in a highly feminized culture of girly men, it is pretty easy to win intellectual pillow fights.
In 2006, I published a column suggesting that Ann Coulter was the last of the “real men” on the intellectual right. I believe that Ann is the closest on the distaff side to the “in your face warrior hawk” profiled in that article. She may be the brightest and most courageous conservative intellectual in the country who can breathe fire when fire is needed – and that is most of the time. She has wonderfully set the stage for her male warrior counterpart, Donald Trump, who takes primal maleness to levels unseen for at least half a century. The everyday people of America long for strong warrior male leadership of the kind that has sustained the human race from the dawn of time.
Do you support Donald Trump’s no-nonsense candidacy? Tell the world with this brand new magnetic bumper sticker: “DONALD TRUMPS THE REST”
Donald Trump is the prototypical, archetypal and testosterone-driven alpha male who rules by the sheer force of his personality, imposing physique, quick wit, mastery of repartee and almost hypnotic control over his gathering masses of adoring followers. He is Attila to the Huns, Henry V to the outnumbered English army, Winston Churchill to desperate allied forces, and now our fearless leader against the pagan forces of progressivism and political correctness. He is the unapologetic, quintessential warrior male of yore capable of vanquishing any and all opposition in his way.
Trump is not a clown, a bloviating buffoon, an intimidating bully, or just a really rich guy hoping to buy America as a shiny new toy. He is ambitious to a fault, relentless in his desire to control, own and build, and he has success written into the DNA of every cell of his body. Yes, he is egotistical, over the top at times, and less soft and sentimental than some would like, but I think he would do pretty well in that closed conference room with Putin or Kim. They would respect him but not necessarily like him. These are the ways of the warrior males who have ruled the world from the beginning of time.
Kent G. Bailey, Ph.D., is professor emeritus of clinical psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University and has published three books and various articles in the field of human paleopsychology.
C’mon. We know he’s never talked about the Bible before. I though people liked him for, “saying what’s on his mind.” Can we ask him if he can name one book in the Bible?
His “come to Jesus” moment?
He cracked a self-effacing joke. He did NOT compare himself to Billy Graham. This headline writer needs to be taken to the woodshed.
“He must think we have the IQ of a gnat to believe that tripe.”
You could make the case that the way things are now in this country, that was a bold statement. There is not another candidate running that would say that, with the possible exception of Cruz.
I understand that all politicians pander (though, wasn’t Trump supposed to be the anti-politician, telling it how it is?). But, I’m not sure I’ve ever heard religious pandering done quite so disingenuously and transparently.
“General Patton, I see you keep a bible on the nightstand by your bed. Do you read the bible, General?”
“Every god-damned day!”
Whether you want to believe it or not, Trump is a very religious man.
You can almost hear him thinking, "OK, Donald, say something nice about the Bible, these rubes will eat it up."
You're pandering to the weakest and most ineffectual group in the nation, Trump.
Just some quick lip service to appease them is fine. They're gullible. Then quickly move on.
There’s nothing wrong with what he said.
Do you think that there’s another favorite book that he is hiding from the press?
What type of man is constantly in the news these days? The homosexual, the cross-dresser, the metrosexual girly-man. Along comes Trump, exuding confidence, masculinity and strength. A real man that people can depend on to protect us, not throw us under the muslim/thug bus. In my opinion, that’s why he has such a strong following.
He has a christian heart. The rest I could care less about.
The bible is my favorite book too and I go to church and I love God and I love my church. More reason to like Trump, thanks! :-)
