Despite all the nasty rhetoric from the left, no one can name ONE comment that the President has made about any of our allies...not one. Yet he is the one accused of being a "cowboy" and ignorant about world affairs.

The left are not only arrogant, they are clueless about basic civility, and are, in fact, stupid.

One could, with some justice, have called this a "Hold Muh Beer" moment. Parrish is far too stupid to have the level of responsibility that she does. It is to President Bush's credit that he ignores such childish jibes.

I've noticed that the left (no matter what country they are from) tend to characterize President Bush as less than intelligent.

That's fine with me. He will kick their butts again in the next election. I wonder how that makes the libs feel, to have someone so "stupid" continually beat them at the polls.

I heard Sen. Dodd refer to Dubya as a one term president this morning on the news. Add him to the list of politicians not paying attention.

The cowboy is the good guy. This needs more pointing out. The fact that many Europeans don't get this amuses me to no end. :-) The cowboy mythos grew out of the War of Powder..River? was it?...anyway, back when a bunch of old-style angry businessmen (more irony) brought a bunch of hired guns in quietly (shades drawn) on a train to bust up cattle-rustling, which was rampant, even among the small-time legit cattle owners...anyway, the hired guns went a bit brutal and overboard, and there was a populist backlash against them (Powder *County*? I'll go brush up on my memory of this in a minute :p), and, at least from what I was taught -- with the caveat that we're talking about the building of a mythos here -- the "cowboy" we know and love in Westerns, especially Shane, grows out of that -- the few lone "semi"-outlaw small-time cattle ranchers who stood up to what was basically a thuggish crack-the-skulls-style invasion.

Still, simple point is, I like it when they call Bush a cowboy. Just reaffirms to me that we're doing the right thing. Just that one caveat. I don't mind him being called a cowboy *one bit*.

As for this article...can't help but laugh when I read it. The "opposition" to the U.S. has really begun to get absurdly/sublimely stupid (and I quite enjoy it).
