The Mama of a Man

     Why howdy do, again, Sportsfans.  The Old Doc actually thought he had finished writing all he had, about Manhood and Manliness that is.  But since my last mumblings, I have seen DOZENS of internet posts that "take the words right out of my mouth".  And Brain.  And yes, Blogs.  Nah, I am not implying anyone stealing my ideas posted over two years now.  Heck, only a couple of folks have ever even read them, and one of them was me, and the other my wife!  But I was inspired to post en toto, this wonderful creation of a woman, Menagerie, who possesses the knowledge nearly all women had back in the day, but now apparently so lost in our crybaby culture that it has found the need to be "re-dicovered".  

     With our new Manly President gracing the White House, this topic of Manhood has become widespread.  Thank goodness.  Enjoy, and many thanks to www.theconservativetreehouse.com, Sundance and Menagerie.

Being A Little Boy’s Mama – The Real Life Version

Posted on August 6, 2017 by Menagerie

Originally published in 2014. I thought t worth a re-do, in honor of more grandsons being born and joining the family.

Lately on Facebook, several versions of what it means to be a little boy’s mama have been circulating. They are touching, and bring a smile to your face, a touch of nostalgia, and perhaps even a tear to your eye. You are exhorted to have lots of energy, be ready to put up with bloody noses and reptiles in the house, see movies you don’t like, and various other true things.

We mamas of little boys have a tough job. We deserve a little smile as we ponder our muddy offspring. As I type this, my just recently de-mudded grandson is graciously allowing me a few minutes to recoup from a busy day of swimming, mud bogging, dump trucking, and hugging stinky dogs. His sister hung right in there with him. So, yes, we even need these moments that tell our hearts that our efforts are special moments that will unfold in a story book life for our beloved sons.

However, we also need some harder truths, and now is a good time to take a look at that. So, here’s my version, for what it’s worth.

You might think, because I write this, that I am an expert and my sons are jet setting billionaires who are in a third world country fixing the unfixable problems. Nope, they are just normal guys, who have normal lives with some really wonderful successes like those grandkids temporarily being angels, and great jobs, fun hobbies, or devotion to family and friends. Being there when family needs help, rooting for the right football team (Go Irish!), sitting by hospital beds, listening to troubles. They have tried and failed, tried and succeeded, fallen and got back up too many times to count.

I’d like to begin by looking at where I want to end up. Since this is my post, I am of course going to give you my opinion of what a man should be, without a single apology or whimper of remorse.

Your little boy should grow into this wonderful creature called a man, and to express that manhood as God meant it to be, indeed, as God wrote it into the very cells of his creation, he is called to reflect the image of his Creator, to walk to paths directed and laid out for him by that Creator, to reach down inside himself to bring forth the manly strength written in those muscles made to be so much bigger and stronger than yours, his mother, to rise to the challenges and overcome the trials that life will throw his way, and in the doing, he is going to get banged up and bloody, discouraged and tired.

If he’s going to make that long hard journey, he needs to be training for it, and that starts with you, from the moment you fall in love with his unfocused but intent gaze, swaddled in his first blanket.

Now that we know where we want to go, how do we get there? Listen closely, this first part matters more than anything else. Your little boy needs this more than anything else you can ever in his whole life give him.

Choose his father well.

Choose. Choose. Don’t let your little boy be a biological accident whose sperm donor is on the street dealing drugs. Pick a man, a man who can guide that little guy down life’s rocky road.

Pick a man who will be just as likely to spend the night in the emergency room with him as he would to play catch. Pick a man who will lead that little boy in righteous ways, and teach him the values of a man, the strength of a man, the love and compassion of a man.

Fatherhood needs participation, not just chromosomes. There are some truly wonderful single mothers out there, and God has given them the grace to overcome and to do what it takes to raise good and decent young men, but a boy really needs a father to teach him to be a man.

Before we get off the subject of dads, if you did your job and picked a man, a real man, he’s going to teach your son some things that you don’t like. Some things that really make you uncomfortable and hurt. No, I’m not talking about how to belch on demand and the fart jokes. I’m talking about how to be strong, how to get up when you fall, how to be disciplined and tough, how to be a winner.

He isn’t going to be a participation ribbon guy. He’s going to push your son to excel. He’s going to lean on him when he’s lazy. He’s going to give him really tough goals. He’s going to look him in the eye and ask him if he wants to stick with that story. He’s going to teach him things you think might be dangerous, like how to ride a bike sooner than you think he’s ready, climb a tree, how to use the lawnmower before you think he’s big enough, how to use power tools, how to run a race, fix a car, answer for his mistakes. Maybe even how to be a soldier or a sailor, how to go off to war.

His punishments are going to be tough, his standards high. It will take a lot more to impress him, really impress him, than it will you.

He won’t worry so much about your son’s fragile feelings, because he knows that true worth comes from that confident manliness that cannot come from participation medals and common core teaching, or lots of mom’s hugs.

Get out of his way. Let him teach your son the tough, shoe leather side of being a man. He will do it with his example, but he has to do it with his standards, his discipline, his tough, tough love, his demands, and yes, even his punishments.

Help him. Work with him. Unite with him. The little boy God gave you both needs both of you to make him whole. Each assume your role, and the battles you face will be faced with the unstoppable power of a family, a home, stability and strength. Give him those most priceless gifts, and you will give the world a man to be reckoned with.

Now that the foundation is out of the way, there isn’t a lot to add. Just the common sense stuff.

Your overwhelming instinct is to love and protect, and fortunately for us mamas, little boys really need that. But we need to learn when they don’t need it too. They need to learn to be independent. They need to learn by doing, they have lots of curiosity. Let them use it.

They also have lots of natural aggression. Part of growing into manhood is learning to control it. The world has too many bullies. One thing I learned from my husband and father in law, two world-class dads, is that an aggressive boy needs physical activity and demanding work, not just play. He needs responsibility from a pretty early age. He needs accountability.

As he grows, teach him to work, teach him the value of a job well done. Don’t do it for him, and for his sake, make him do it over when he’s shoddy. Teach him by example that there is no substitute for a good job.

Don’t be the mama who always says “My son wouldn’t do that.” Yes, he will. He will do some really rotten things, and you are not going to want to believe it. Dad will usually be way ahead of you in knowing that yes, he deliberately spray painted Mr. Young’s new shed, or broke Sarah’s new doll. Or snuck out the window, wrecked the car because he was speeding, or was drinking at a party when you thought he was at a friend’s house.

Look with your eyes and not your preconceived ideas, because, yes, he will do that. Now, make him pay the piper. Never ever stand between him and the repercussions of his actions.

Teach him honesty, and realize he’s learning it by your example and not your words. When you give a cashier back the five too much she gave you, he’s learning. When you call in sick to work, then go shopping, he’s learning. Don’t wonder why he lies to you tomorrow.

In all things, homework, chores, sports, trouble with bullies, help him, but don’t do it for him. Stand beside him, not in front of him. Your job is to always remember that one day, you won’t be there, and that is as it should be.

Teach him to respect women by being a respectable woman. Boy, is this your job. First of all, way back in step one, picking his dad, you gave him a big jump on this because you picked a man who admires and respects women, and is teaching your son to do the same. But you are teaching him the why and the how. You are teaching him the worth of a good woman, and to look beneath the cheerleader outfit to see the cruelty or the compassion. He might not be the best at that at fourteen, but keep the faith. The essence of the man you and his dad are forming will whip those hormones. Most of the time.

Teach him that life is hard, and sometimes bad things happen, even when you do the right thing. Teach him to be ready for the bad, and just deal with it. Teach him to face adversity with confidence and yes, cheer.

Teach him to keep going, even when he wants to give up. You do this by steps. Finish the task you started. No, I won’t come pick you up on Mount Rainy because it’s raining. Start baseball season with the Bruisers and find out you don’t like it or they lose a lot? Tough, you gotta finish it. He wrecked his car and wants yours? Is that best, or should you teach him that there are repercussions, and he might have to take a bus, or be without a car for a date?

Finally, lead him to faith. Be a Godly example, give him the opportunity to know the wonder of God’s love for him, ground his world in the strength that only comes from his Creator, and you have given him every gift you want for him as a parent. Without this, he has no chance. With it, he cannot be defeated. It will be a gift he must accept or reject, as they all are, but without your example to follow, your belief to ground himself in, he will flounder and search for value and good. Give him  a moral conscience, and an unending source of strength and love, and then watch him become the man he was meant to be, reflecting the perfect love from which he came.

If he sees you in prayer when times are tough, and also when things are well, he sees the source of your strength, and the foundation of your joy. If your answers come from your faith, your belief system instead of just your desires, he learns to look for truth and rightness. If you lead him into church on Sundays, he will find answers that exist no other place on Earth. He will find Heaven above.

Then one day, when the time comes, he will come home to you, holding the hand of a beautiful young lady and speak the best words in the world.

“We’re going to have a baby.” This, ladies, is the best reward in the whole wide world for being a mother.

Believers, Deceivers and Ol' In-Betweeners

At a time when the world seems to be spinnin' hopelessly out of control,
There's deceivers an' believers an' old in-betweeners,
That seem to have no place to go.
Well, it's the same old song, it's right an' it's wrong,
An' livin' is just somethin' that I do.
An' with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes,
An' I found myself in you.


-- Hands on the Wheel, By Willie Nelson





     "I am just a Man;  A Man like you."  Lt. Gatewood to Geronimo 


     Well Gentlemen, we did it.  We up and ignored, overcame, sacked-it up and DUMPED out sixty years of the Great American Male Brainwash.  In brief, the cock-eyed notion that the AMERICAN MALE was no longer "relevant."  That he was in fact, the butt of an endless stream of jokes;  the punch-line that generally taught our little boys to regard their "Maleness" as a pathology.  Yup Boyz, its Ol' Doc Adams back after a bit of a hi-ate-eez.  Had to get mah Man, Donald J. Trump elected, and believe me it was Easy-Peezy.  

     Well Men, as the Old Doc has said all along, THE AMERICAN MALE IS ACTUALLY the NATIONAL CHARACTER of our great country, the United States of America.  It was founded by Men, successful men.  These Men risked "our lives, our fortune and our very honor" to make a new home for their women and children.  Their ideas, their courage, and THEIR BLOOD created the greatest civilization the human species has ever witnessed, and in fact The Last Great Hope of All Mankind.  Hyperbole you say?  Then let me ask you this.  Why would they sign their Death Warrant, The Declaration of Independence,  and place the MOST emphasis "on their very honor?"  Could it be that it is "honor" that made our Founding, and our development,  THE most important transformation of human society ever created?  Yes, Honor -- Our God, Our Traditions, Our Flag, Our Military, Our Women and Children.  We Honor the AMERICAN beating within our hearts, and because of this we are special.

     The Declaration of Independence was certainly a Death Warrant.  Declaring a break from their Sovereign, King George III was an act of Treason, carrying with it an unequivocal hanging.  The British had the greatest Army and greatest Navy the world had ever seen, and they had an empire that spanned the globe.  So this act of defiance by these Men was folly.  It was suicidal.  It was daring;  It was captivating.  It was illogical.  YET IT WAS BOLD, COURAGEOUS and WREAKED OF MANLINESS.  I do not disrespect women.  Yet there was not one woman who signed this document, and that was NOT simply because there was no Title X Affirmative Action safeguards.  It was because women by DNA ARCHITECTURE are NOT reckless, cannot afford to take chances, and act with steady prudence.  The archetypal woman, that is;  i.e. the women forged and honed by their pioneer heritage.  Many "modern" women have strayed far from these roots, indeed.

     Through indoctrination via Marxist theology women have been indoctrinated into actually becoming The Weak Sex;  so many wander about  badgering, whining, and protesting like screeching fish wives about every single item that occurs in their lives which does not 100% comply with their selfish, self-centered "space".  We have delved into this not only in my "Manhood" series, but in my original "Doctor Confidential" series, so 'nuff said here.    You are in a Man's World Safe Zone here with Doc Adams, and we will not let Gloria Steinem distract us.  Much.

         So The General, George Washington, Fathered this Grand Experiment.  We grew.  Men pushed West in THE GREATEST HUMAN MIGRATION EVERY KNOWN.  Millions of American Men took their women and children to wild lands.  Many perished, but the survivors passed on their best traits of resilience, toughness, survival, independence, can-do.  Men died for their women and children, and their women and children loved, respected and NEEDED their Men.  THIS is the "psychology" of The AMERICAN.  And it is my contention that this Presidential Election just passed is the break-out of the long suppressed soul of our country that is so dependent on a true-red-white-and-blue AMERICAN MAN.  Despite decades of skinny jeans, faux beards, nail lacquer, eyebrow plucking and "empathetic" expressions, The American Man was still in there.  Blood hot, rushing, primal, Western, grab-em-by-the -balls, go on and git-it American Man.  And YOUR women LOVE IT!  Deep inside, despite all of their preening, scoffing, disapproving glances.....they DIG IT BOYZ, because deep inside the soul of the AMERICAN woman is a profound need, respect. and love for her Man.  AND, an abiding fear that her AMERICAN MAN was gone forever......

    " And who then, will keep the Barbarians from my loins?"  Yes, the worst fear, nightmare for every woman.  "Who will protect me and the children?"  Don't believe me?  Just take a look at how this woman-fear is playing out in Europe.  Swedish women are being counseled to wear Burkas, and to quit looking so hot so all those Muslim "refugees" won't JUST HAVE TO rape them!  You see Fellas, appeasement is basically an expression of fear.  Intellectual European women are so far gone down the ladder of Political Correctness that they can no longer even identify the ludicrous picture they make on this side of the pond.  They have succeeded in castrating their men, and now they are like turkeys who drown, beaks open, in the rain!  

     But therein proves my point.  AMERICAN Men and women have not lost themselves yet to this psychological slavery.  AMERICAN woman, amazingly realize this.  (True, there are seemingly many fools yet, but just look at the demographics of the election, not as many as the Old Doc would have thought).  This is the subject, my Manly cohort,  of this feeble post -- The Swagger still left in the beating heart of the American Man;  and for that matter, the Warrior that still resides deep in the hearts of American women.  Although, as I said before, it is sometimes buried quite deep indeed.

     We, the AMERICAN People, we won an election.  But what we really won was our country back.  We chose Our Champion, and it was Donald J. Trump.  From the moment he oozed Testosterone all over the podium at Trump Tower on June 16, 2015, announcing his candidacy for the President of the United States -- he was our Knight, Our Captain.  If you think otherwise, you are drinking the Kool-aid my friend.   That syrupy beverage that has been rammed down your gullet since you can remember.  The one that makes you NOT notice all the Newsmen are Girly Boys who spend all their time showing YOU how to be a GirlyBoy too.  

     These GirlyBoy Propagandists are hired by BIG GLOBALIST RICH GUYS who know exactly what they are doing.  Castrate the American Male, and do it so no one notices what you are doing.  Cut his balls off so that he doesn't complain when you let ILLEGAL ALIENS pour into the country to take your jobs;  then FORCES your job to move to other countries, so now you are left with no job, no prospects, and a lot of Third World peasants to compete with for that CarWash job.  But the folks pouring in from those Guatemalan villages are accustomed to working for peanuts, and you have a mortgage, kids in school, and future college expenses.  Then the GirlyBoys get on the News and keep drumming it into your head that if you find ANYTHING wrong with this theft of your livelihood, well then,  YOU are the Racist, Xenophobe, on top of you already being a homophobe and a sexist pig.  

     No sir, YOU are the problem, not the "refugees" pouring into you neighborhood with 90% of them getting right on welfare and staying there FOREVER.  You watch as your women and children suffer your underemployment;  your kiddos get dumbed down in school with everybody waiting for Little Pablo or Muhammed to catch up and learn English.  After all, The GirlyBoys and the InfoBabes all keep prattling about fairness, "it takes a village", "its who we are", and all that other claptrap, opiate, chemical castration that amounts to Bull BANDINI!

     But take heart Men.  Here is some more good news.  Your women Cowboy-ed up and rode the river with you on this one.  Yup.  Trump got well over 50% gal vote.  The only subsegment of gal he did not receive majority on was the single-mother and college gal snowflakes, but jeepers, they always vote COMMIE.  

     But the AMERICAN Warrior women shucked all that whiney modern Feminist crap, and rallied around their Men.  So did Blacks, Hispanics, so did every age-demographic, and so did the High School and College folks.  EVERYBODY.  The only demographic won YUGELY by his opponent, a spent-up, feeble, falling-down inebriated Feminist, was the ILLEGAL ALIEN vote;  the FRAUDULENT Multi-voter crowd;  the DEAD-voter cohort;  and the Pull-out the Whoops!-here's-some-more-ballots-in -the-trunk-of-my-car votes.  There are voting districts also caught destroying large numbers of Trump-district ballots, not to mention the Postal workers caught tossing out Trump absentee ballots.  I daresay that we may never know the full extent of the FRAUD.  Heck we don't even know the numbers of ILLEGAL ALIENS in our country.  The GirlyNewsBoys keep telling you 11 million;  but that was the same number they were using in 2000 when George W. was President.  With all those underground videos that you see of the border with hundreds and hundreds of happy backpackers just-a-strolling over our borders EVERY DAY, most rational experts put the figure more accurately at 20-30 MILLION.

     In California, you made it Law to give ILLEGAL ALIENS driver's licenses.  Why?  Well, that is what you need to register to vote there.  Once registered you need NO I.D. in California to vote on Election Day.  Now, with all the Sanctuary Cities and Welfare goodies in California, would you not suppose that a good number of these 30 MILLION  ILLEGAL ALIENS live in California?  And with THIRTY YEARS now of concerted La Raza, LULAC, MALDEF and Mexican Government OVERT efforts to register these ILLEGAL ALIENS to vote, would you not surmise that a few of them trickled into the voting booth on Election day?  In fact, without California, the Union's most populous state, Trump wins the POPULAR vote by 3 Million.  And these published figures all include ILLEGAL ALIEN votes; Dead people votes;  multi-voter votes; stuffed ballot box votes;  and Trump-destroyed ballots.  Voter fraud was actually DOCUMENTED in the only areas Trump did not win such as Detroit, Philadelphia, Nevada.  In fact, it has already been DOCUMENTED that some 3 million ILLEGAL ALIENS voted.   One can REASONABLY imagine how MASSIVE the Voter Fraud levels reached this election, and yet until in the next 2-3 years when detailed studies are published more accurate estimates will have to wait.   But with THIRTY YEARS of honing the art of Massive Voter Fraud, the Democrats most certainly produced a banner Cheat-Fest of a voting season, you bet.  And remember, TRUMP plus OTHERS received 70 MILLION votes;  the Cheater received 65 Million votes.  So, ex-nay on "the popular mandate" for the Commie Babe.

     My point is that Trump won a MASSIVE electoral win;  he won 30 states;  he won 87% of ALL COUNTIES IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.  And he won decisively in States that Republicans have not won in 30 plus years like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.  In fact Trump won the entire RUST BELT.  Yeah, those areas where a lot of you Men live and used to work, where once booming factories made these same states the booming MANUFACTURING envy of the world.  And in addition to all of the other demographics mentioned, TRUMP WON THE AMERICAN MAN.  Like 70% of them!  

     And yes, you WHITE MEN finally shed your fear that the GirlyMen would call you names and you came out, stood up for your proud heritage, your forefathers, your country and your women -- and YOU VOTED FOR THE BIG PROUD RED-HEADED WHITE GUY!  You did it! You came out of your coma, and let all the GirlyNewsBoys, the InfoBabes, the Saudi's , the U.N. Dr. Phil, Oprah, and Mark Cuban know that you have picked your ass up off the ground and have clambered back up into the saddle.  You found your testes again Boyz, and your country has won a great victory because of it.  

     Always remember this:  Only the AMERICAN WHITE MAN has ever invented the airplane; the aircraft carrier, and the Lunar Landing craft.  Only The AMERICAN WHITE MAN built the factories that built the world, the farms that feed the world, and the innovation that improves the world.  EVERYBODY else has simply followed your lead.  Go ahead, name ONE SINGLE SAUDI innovation........'yawn'......zzzzzZZZZZZZZ.  

     This is not Racism.  This is simply objective, Nationalistic, historical fact.  Sure, sure, women and other nationalities contribute.  But among Rockefeller, Carnegie, U.S. Grant, George Patton, Neal Armstrong, Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, Audie Murphy, George Washington, and John Wayne -- there is not a Somali among them, nor a woman.  And conversely, just look at what a shit-hole the WORLD is becoming since you Red Blooded WHITE AMERICAN MEN crawled into your Politically Correct cubby hole and "behaved" like all your Feminist teachers told you to amidst your Ritalin/ADD haze.

     

    

     The poets will say, "the battle is won, if not the war."  But the Ol' Doc will add, that this battle is purely Mop-Up ops, like after the landing in Normandy on D-Day, 1944.  Once our MEN had secured the beachheads, the War in Europe was essentially over.  From then on it was simply a logistical question of it was bringing in the thousands of ships , men and war materials and running our War Machine, and breaking things all the way to Berlin.  Adolf would have spared a lot of lives had he done what all his Generals told him after D-Day.  "The War Is Lost.  We must ask for Terms"  But Tyrants and Lunatics seldom live within REALITY, and he flogged his Army to fight on, costing many Millions more lives to perish.  Same with the American Left folks.  They will cause some damage as they thrash around in their agonal death throes.  But they are CRUSHED, and irrelevant at this point as far as our Bright AMERICAN future is concerned.

Rommel.....you magnificent bastard, "I read your book!"


     The GirlyMen will pee their panties, the InfoBabes will disapprove, the Corrupt Corporate Media will persist in FABRICATED FAKE NEWS, but we WON Boyz, WE WON!  We are fully awake, back from a terrible somnolence that had us on our knees calling our sons "buddy";  on the floor playing silly googoo-ga-ga games with our inwardly traumatized and eventually disgusted kids;  playing the 50/50 games with our Feminist-fed Gals, which called for charts and graphs to document whose turn it was to change the diaper, apply her cracking-nipple cream, and even breast feed, if nothing else "so you would know what I go through."  Yeah, and then when she finally had nothing but contempt for you,  for FOLLOWING THE VERY RULES SHE MADE FOR YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE, she leaves you, gets ALL THE STUFF BY LAW, and goes out looking for a "real man",  "my true soul mate." .......    

     But no more MATES, no more.  You are fully awake, aware, head-on-a-swivel.  You are again the hunter, the stalker, the AMERICAN MAN who tamed the West, fought the Comanche and The Kiowa, "fought in many engagements and never shirked a chore."  You made the Greatest Country the World has ever witnessed;  you saved Europe TWICE, you obliterated the Jap bastards who destroyed our Pacific Fleet;  you went chest up against the mighty Soviet War Machine and you made them blink first.  You punked the Nazis, the Commies, and the Jihadis, the latter of which are in for some more truly HOLY HELL very soon.  And you are BACK.  Really back, and I tell you Men, the factories will be humming soon;  you will be saving for your kiddos college again soon;  you will have your PRIDE fully back soon;  your woman will fall in love with you again;  and our enemies will be meeting their Allah very, VERY soon. .....Simple as that?.....YUP!

      All you needed was to free yourselves from the Political Correctness that was squeezing your balls.  All you needed was to shake this terrible 30 year nightmare off your screen, your mind, your heart, and go back to your instincts, your Manhood, your Manliness, your MACHISMO for God's sake, and take your rightful and RIGHTEOUS place at the head of this Cattle Drive we call AMERICA.  You need your PRIDE back.

And say Fellas, once we all get up in the saddle and move that herd North, and fend off rustlers, and fight off the Commanche, and endure the heat, blizzards, and grizzlies, and then get to market and sell the prize....well sir, we will head back home, to our woman and our children, and they will look at us with wonder again;  with pride again;  with respect again;  and with joy in their hearts again.  And you will do this again, and again, and again, until you're too sore and bent to ride anymore.  But even old and rickety, you will still have that gleam of pride in your old, cataract eyes, and all those around you will say, "There goes Ol' Doc;  one of the best there ever was."   He took care of his woman, his family.  He lived an honorable life, put his kids through school.  He never complained, "he never shirked a chore."

     So, is the Old Doc out of his mind?  Exaggerating just a tad?  I dunno, you tell me.  Did not a bunch of American-Irish Men dig a canal across Panama with barely hand shovels, under the most horrendous jungle conditions imaginable?  Did not a bunch of AMERICAN MEN lay railroad tracks across the AMERICAN continent?  Did not a couple thousand sick, nearly frozen barefoot Men hold out agains the GREATEST ARMY in the World back there when our country was born?  Did not a handful of Army Rangers climb the sheer vertical face of Point-du-hoc on D-DAY with German machine guns raining a wall of lead on them the entire time they were climbing ropes UP the cliff?  These and many, many more unbelievable miracles have been performed by The American Man.  And my point being -- that the Miracles have just begun.  Our best days lie ahead.  And I say this with confidence because we have shouted loudly, "The Song of Angry Men", and we have chosen a LEADER.

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

-Les Miserables

P.S.  Some of my loyal readers, all one or two of you, might be wondering where the "ol Coot" has been.  Well, you might say I was saving our Country.  Yeah, I've been working real hard to put my actions where my palavering mouth is.  But we got Our Man in, and although my pen is a bit more inconsistent in my advancing years,  out in the tall grass pasture and all, I will be eager to watch my proud AMERICAN brethren get back to work and put callouses back on their hands and not on their butts.  It'll be a sight to behold, and I may have an opinion or two in that regard, by and by.  Work hard Boyz, your country needs you.  Your women and chillin' do too...........................................................

A American Manly Man in the White House

ADAMS: A Letter to Donald Trump (from a voter)

This letter from Troy Morton was in the comments to my post from earlier today. I am re-posting it here, with permission, because it is simply beautiful.

Breathtaking, actually.

Enjoy.

Scott Adams

To: President Trump

From: Just a simple man

I’ve been following your campaign since your announcement, reading millions of words written about you, watching thousands of hours of video and speeches, listening to many talk radio show segments, and engaging in dozens of debates with people around me.

No candidate has ever captured my attention the way you have.

Now that it’s clear you will be the Republican nominee, I want to share with you something so personal, painful, and uplifting, that I almost don’t want to write it, but I will anyway…trolls be damned:

My whole life, up until yesterday, has been based on reaction to fear.

Growing up as a black man in Washington D.C. during the “crack 80’s”, when Marion Barry was mayor, I lived a lower middle class childhood in one of the most dangerous cities in America. Though I had many friends, I was also subject to the threats, intimidation, and bullying that happens when you’re not like the people around you.

There was no father in my life to steel me against the world I lived in. My mother was strong, but it’s not exactly the kind of strength I needed. I was a boy, and needed a Man.

Without strong male guidance, I learned to fear…but not how to face fear and win. Even joining the military and going to war didn’t overcome my weakness, and all my future decisions considered strongly the level of fear I had at the time.

As a result, my life has been full of conflict, as I have unintentionally signaled to adversaries that I am an easier opponent to beat than others. I have won victories, but never truly enjoyed them knowing the battle is never won for me…only endured. I have also suffered crushing defeats, and important people in my life lost confidence in me as a result. I have not reached my potential, and settled instead into apathy and stasis, content to only being “smart enough” or “good enough”…not great. Not strong. Not resolute…

Not a leader. Not a winner.

My life, in many important ways, mirrors the American experience. Potential to be great, but paralyzed by fear. Full of conflict. Enduring, not winning. No leadership. No strong Male inspiration. And occasional, crushing defeats that hit to the core of our country…most notably 9/11, but also with the erosion of our middle class and uniquely American culture.

Like you say so often: we don’t WIN anymore.

Watching your campaign, and being as invested in it as I am, has been an exercise in recognizing, and confronting, fear that I never expected. Every time your opponents hit you…I feel fear for your candidacy and our country. Every charge of racist, sexist, facist, etc. causes me to worry that no one, not even you, can really change the country for the better. That we’re doomed to failure…

Then…inevitably…you win the battle. You don’t “survive”, or “endure”…you attack, and put fear into your opponents. You don’t stop until they are buried under your feet. Until they become paralyzed…

Sometimes, you even bait them into hitting you, just so you can beat the crap out of them again. Your life is full of conflict, but it becomes yet another opportunity to WIN, and makes you MORE powerful…not less.

Then, once they are eliminated as a threat, you are generous to the vanquished. It’s not personal, and they are not evil. They were, simply…in the way. Once they are not, they become worthy of kindness and respect.

Furthermore, you’re not just a blunt instrument…your strategy is impeccable. You go into every conflict knowing exactly what your opponents weaknesses are, how to exploit them, and what levers to pull to ensure victory. Clearly, you spend good time before announcing your candidacy doing the things the military taught me as a young soldier: surveying, recon, intelligence-gathering, ammunition, discipline, execution…

You are defending America from our enemies within, and it’s an AMAZING thing to watch.

Last night, you also did something else. You became the Man that helped me see fear for what it is: an illusion of power, a powerful teacher, and the path to winning if used properly. There is no reason, regardless of the enormity of the task, to lose to fear if you prepare well, are disciplined in your execution, and have the faith necessary, in God, yourself, and in others…that leads to victory.

Winning is always possible, but becomes probable if you never back down, never quit, and become your dominant self. Once the battle is won, treat the vanquished with kindness and respect. Be the bigger man.

You taught me how to Win.

I appreciate what you’ve done for me personally, and what you’re doing for our country. I know I’m not the only man who admires you, and can’t wait for you to become the father, and leader, of our country. It’s been a long, cold winter for men in America the last 8 years, and I believe that your election will dramatically improve the level of respect, admiration, and love people will show for strong men and Fathers, and will create a new generation of leaders from impressionable young boys.

That, more than anything, will Make America Great Again.

........................................This purty much sums my thoughts on this victory for AMERICAN MANHOOD pards....Doc

Patriotic Manhood

   

     The Old Doc was engaged in a conversation with a young American Man a few days ago.  This particular Man happened to be the dirty, rotten, egg-suckin' dog that took my little girl away from me.  Yup, he won her hand in marriage.  He has done well by her, I suppose.  But never want a Son-In-Law to forget the pain his intrusion caused a doting Father.  Never.  Ever.  With sugar on top.

     Anyway, he is of the Manly variety of American Man.  He has to be. The Old Doc's daughter laughs derisively at the nail-polishing, high-lighted, skinny-jeans Metro-HimBabes out there that pose as Men.  No sir, she chose a real throwback to the days when "American Man" actually meant courage, independence, determination, grit, and Patriotism --  he paid his way through college by serving his country in the Military;  Army officer;  deployed to The War Zone;  and now guards the citizens of his community, daily putting his own safety at risk.

     This Manly Man was telling the Old Doc about a work partner of his, of the Male variety.  They got to talking about the upcoming election.  That Dirty, Rotten, Egg-Suckin' Husband of my Daughter asked this facsimile of a Man who he would vote for between Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton.  This shell of a Male answered, "Well, I would have to pick.......Hillary Clinton."  Mike drop.

     Upon hearing this, your favorite Old Doc nearly pee'd himself, which at this age, is actually not as rare as I would like to imply.  Of all the INTERGALACTICALLY unintelligible responses, I cannot think of one more perplexing, more outrageous.....more discouraging.  Imagine, I say to myself (my most frequent audience nowadays) a 28 year old American Male, born and raised in the U.S. of A. choosing a lifetime serial liar who's principle achievements in her adult life include either all criminal acts or acts of utter incompetence--  for President of the United States (POTUS)!

     And on top of that disqualifying criteria, to choose a feminist opportunist;  a women who destroyed the lives of several of her husband's assault and rape victims in order for it not to interrupt her own political ambitions;  a woman who has betrayed her country in so many important ways, that her ALLOWING our Benghazi Ambassador to be dragged naked through the streets of Libya by medieval savages is only one of many treasonous acts for this National Grifter -- instead of, Trump,  the Most Manly Man to adorn the National Political Stage in some time.  This faux ManBoy, this facsimile of Maleness would choose Hill-Liar Clinton over the International Mega-Successful American Capitalist, Donald J. Trump.  This Old Doc can hardly contain his shock, dismay....and disdain!

The Dreaded Ex-Wife

     Uh-Oh....here comes a Political Ad for Donald Trump.  We better run for the hills, lest ANYTHING we read is opinionated.....and about something so trivial as THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY!  OK, ok, so the Old Doc has an opinion about the November 2016 Presidential Election.  Well yes, I do.  As Ronaldus Magnus Reagan said, "It is a time for choosing."  No second chances on this one folks.  Just take a look around.  Democrats have become the Party of the United Nations.  Their principles are more Marxist than Federalist.  They have contempt for the idea of American Exceptionalism.  They fight for OPEN BORDERS.  They coddle Islamic extremists at the same time they fight tooth and nail to take away our first and last line of defense, our Second Amendment, or the God-given right to keep and bear arms.  They want total destruction of traditional Marriage.  They fight to preserve the Feminist right to kill babies, rip apart their live bodies, and sell their parts.  And they wage war not on America's enemies, but on American Christians.  A despicable, Anti-American pack of ignorant and treasonous cowards. .....  So picking a Democrat for the White House is a non-starter for a true American Patriot, period.

SecState Hillary's Ambassador in Benghazi

     But let us zero in on the gist of "Manhood Agonistes:  Paradise Lost" shall we.  Let us examine the young American Male that "has to vote for Hillary"  rather than not just the Male opponent, but the ALPHA MALE Candidate for POTUS.  I will at this point say, unequivocally that only two viable candidates have any cultural, historical, and political right to be our next POTUS.  Those two happen to be Men.  They are Donald J. Trump and Senator Ted Cruz.  But herein I contend that at this time in our American history, the only real candidate for any American Man who loves his country, its history, its Founders, and its heroes, is Mr. Trump.  This in no way diminishes the qualifications this fine Man, Senator Cruz, possesses.  His time is in 2024, but not now, and here is why.

     Our American White House needs a Big, Bad Manly Man  pronto....or else, literally all is lost.  Third World peasants pour across our Southern Border, are in no way assimilated, are immediately provided with generous welfare packages, and are made voting Democrats as soon as their allies in Government can make them citizens, usually with no more qualifications than that they just walked across our OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER.  In addition, we have ELECTED officials flaunting Federal Law by creating SANCTUARY cities, that allow ILLEGAL INVADERS to suck on American Taxpayers with impunity, often leaving bonus gifts of rape, murder, theft, and drugs;  lots of drugs.  To make matters even worse, without ANY (please READ the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, right now) LEGAL right, our government deceives Americans that there is such a law as making children of the ILLEGAL INVADERS U.S. CITIZENS,  automatically (there IS no such law).  This ANCHOR baby then becomes a ward of the American Taxpayer forever, and the chain of ILLEGAL INVASION continues ad infinitum.  Vast majorities of these ANCHOR babies are Welfare dependent for GENERATIONS;  and 80% of them vote Democrat, FOREVER!  Talk about an insane prescription for Societal Suicide!

"Act of Love", Jeb!

     This OPEN BORDER monstrosity has corollaries.  Our government is currently IMPORTING MILLIONS of Muslims from Islamic Radical Areas without any vetting whatsoever.  Think of this my Manly friends:  3000 American CIVILIANS were incinerated on 9/11 by Islamic Jihadists.  Since we watched in horror our fellow Americans being FRIED, or leaping off 100 stories to avoid being FRIED, our Government has IMPORTED 1.5 MILLION more Muslims, most of whom have been proven to favor Sharia Law, and 25% of whom believe Jihad and Murder is just, ever so, PEACHY!  Garland, Tx, Merced,  Calif., Chattanooga, TN, Boston Marathon, Ft. Hood, San Bernardino.....Ring a bell Pards?  Well yeah, these are sites of Jihad in OUR NEIGHBORHOODS!  Killing Americans by Islamic Peace Lovers yelling Allahu Akbar! with each American scalp taken.  And yet our Elected Sissies insist on keeping the Import flow going, even though our friends in ISIS are telling the world that they are the main impetus for his invasion force.  Proven in Paris, Greece, Sweden.....tons of WEAPONS shipped to "the refugees" labeled as furniture, just intercepted by the Greek Border Patrol.  Yet our leaders plead with us that this is "who we are."

Religion of Peace

     Our fearless sissy boy leaders have run the U.S. credit card up to 19 TRILLION PLUS dollars, and yet these sissy traitors just passed a 1.1 Trillion dollar budget that  provides welfare to the Third World, welfare to Imported Muslims who hate us, and other many and sundry items like Planned Butcherhood, Sanctuary Cities, Resettlement housing for ILLEGAL ALIENS, and many, many other suicidal items that is "who we are."  On top of that we have girly Men Politicians that advocate WWIII at the drop of any civil war anywhere in the world, even though it might involve shooting down Russian planes, or inciting global war.  Yeah, these manicured show ponies love sending our Sons to be killed or maimed for countries that hate us and work to undermine us simply because their TESTICLES ARE SO SMALL that they need to march the REAL MEN to War in order to fool America as to their own Jockey Brief size!

Speaker of the House Paul Obama

     .....Whew!.....OK, back to the election......Sooooo, with these charming factoids as a backdrop, why, Doc, should I support Trump?  Here is the Old Doc's trivial, inconsequential, outdated, "not who we are" reasons to do just that:

1)  Age and experience.  Trump is 69 and  has been fully vetted for 20 years under the media microscope for every single fart he has emitted while creating a multi-BILLION dollar empire around the world providing ongoing JOBS for tens of thousands for years and years and years.

2)  Trump risks his own money and not the taxpayer's money.  He has ZERO fingerprints on the lemming-like suicidality ongoing in our Government now for years.

3)  He has pledged to Make a Wall, Make it High, and Make it Work.  The first.

4)  He has pledged to DEPORT those in this country ILLEGALLY.  The first.

5)  He has pledged to stop the CUSTOM of ANCHORING new Democrats, Welfare dependents.  The first.

6)  He has pledged to PAUSE ALL Muslim Immigration until our Government can figure out how to do this without causing AMERICANS to BLEED and DIE on their own streets, in their OWN NEIGHBORHOODS.  The First.

7)  He has marginalized the lying, false, and anti-American Media that functions today ONLY to elect Democrats to office.  The first

8) He has refused,  and denounced Super-Pacs.  The first.

9) He has pledged to protect the Second Amendment IN ITS ENTIRELY WITHOUT EXCEPTION.  The first.

10)  He has pledged to clean up the corruption in the Veteran's Administrations, and promised to end the disgrace of our Vets being treated WORSE than ILLEGAL ALIENS.  The First.

11)  He has blown Girly Boys of his own Party out of the race, including Jeb!, Christie, Kasich, and Marco "The Liar" Rubio.  Without delving too deeply into their APPEASEMENT stands, they all want OPEN BORDERS, Gun Control, INCREASED Muslim importation, and never want to say anything that offends anybody.

12)  He has allowed the one other American Patriot, Ted Cruz to even EXIST as a candidate by providing him with "air cover", including BigMedia, Establishment Republicans, the Left, The Chamber of Commerce and BigDonors, and Foreign Money.  Without Trump's trailblazing, ALL GUNS would have been trained on the young Senator Cruz, who simply would not have survived such coordinated, and withering attacks.  Cruz's message is a good one, and America is better for it.

13)  Sheer Command presence.  This Old Doc would call it Manly Presence.

14)  Leadership.  See all the "firsts" listed above.

15)  Manly Courage.  Despite withering, daily , coordinated, hysterical attacks from the Left, the Right, Big Media, foreign leaders, and Communists/Radicals everywhere, he does not retreat, he does not hedge, he does not equivocate, and he DOES NOT LIE.

16)  NOT ONE person who he has worked with, who has worked for him, who knows him over decades, on hundreds and hundreds of deals ALL OVER THE WORLD, has been trotted out that DOES NOT LIKE and RESPECT THIS MAN.  If there was, he would have surely been trotted out by now and made a National Hero....but NOT ONE has been found.

17)  Trump says what he thinks, what he believes.  He hires no pollsters, consultants, handlers to tell him what to say, how to say it, when to smile, or where to appear.  He is so truthful that he fearlessly appears EVERYWHERE, every news outlet because he knows what his message is, and does not need to worry about Media ambushes or "gotcha" questions.  What you see, what you hear is what Trump is and stands for.  Refreshing.  In other worlds, HE IS HIS OWN MAN.  Whoa! What a concept!

     So you Men out there;  you males out there trying desperately to be Men.  Sit down and contemplate these matters.  Seriously.  Thoroughly.  For once in your girly-oriented lives.  The fate of our Free Nation stands in the balance.  No kidding.  No exaggeration.  This Old Doc has been pleading with you to open your eyes and for once think about something greater than yourself and your next Facebook Selfie Post.  American Men have become soft and squishy, and have allowed our country to wobble precariously under the Feminine Leadership Plan that includes:  Appeasement, Internationalism, multiculturalism, political correctness, hurt feelings, safe zones.  These feminine strategies lead to "anything goes", "feelings are all that matter", and "you are uncaring" should you dare speak directly, frankly, truthfully.  Men have allowed themselves and our country to drown in speech suppressors like sexist, racist, homophobe, xenophobe, gun-totting, Bible thumpers.

     We Men have allowed our culture to regard Manhood as the punch line to snarky cultural jokes, so that today a Patriotic American Christian Man is the most feared and reviled enemy in our U.S. discourse.  Islamic murderers are coddled AFTER killing Americans, as "religious warriors";  Black thugs are coddled, and shielded when they murder other Black children, women and Men, and when they murder a White Man or Women, the WHITE Man or Woman is blamed!  American Men have allowed other countries to take away our companies, our jobs, our tax dollars, while AMERICANS stand in food stamp lines, disability lines, unemployment lines.  The mess we American Men have allowed to  permeate our country today is a "DISASTER and DISGRACEFUL," to quote the one Manly Bull of an American Patriot who has the guts to stand on the National Stage and say such heresy -- and that is Donald J. Trump.

     You fellas want to be my personal therapist, hell, I could shriek on for many more pages upon pages.  But you do not want that,  if indeed you be a  Real Man.  You want someone to shit or git off the pot!  OK so here is my point:  Hillary Clinton should get ZERO votes from American Men.  Any beings with XY chromosomes who do vote for her are by definition incapable of being identified as Patriotic American Men.  Period!  If they are ignorant.  Point made.  If they are misguided.  Point made.  If they are trying to be "fair", well, point, match, game.  Checkmate.......The Patriotic American Man values Freedom, Truth, Strength, Fairness, The U.S. Constitution, Our Founding Fathers, our wondrous, inspirational and unique American History.  Think Men, THINK!

Men and The Crusades

     Why do you think forces on the LEFT drug our little boys in school with Ritalin, Adderal and other addicting drugs to "calm" them down?  Why do you think the LEFT is working so hard to install the Homosexual Agenda into our children's school curriculum?  Why do you think the LEFT wants OPEN BORDERS and MILLIONS more unassimilated Democrat voters.  It is simply because they cannot win elections on ideas.  If you really understood their systematic goals of America's National Castration you would not vote for them.   Once the Patriotic American Man is extinct, the LEFT nirvana of complete Government Control of every aspect of our lives can come true.  Win the White House this time and the Democrats will have 3-4 more Supreme Court Judge selections, enabling them to pack the high court with nut job Radicals that will CREATE law, and negate any election result that is not compatible with the LEFT's agenda.  For this election, above all others, you must not be sanguine.

OPEN Borders "Latina" Justice Sotomayor

     The stakes are unimaginably high.  A free, a Manly America is the Last Great Hope of Mankind.  Look at the field Boyz, I beseech you!  The ONLY Bull Moose on the stage is Trump.  Millions already have identified him as their fave.  This Old Doc is appealing to your Manhood, because this might be the only commentary you ever read that places YOUR BALLS in the very crosshairs of this election, and I contend that I am dead right with this emphasis.  You girly Men are revolted by Trump for the very reasons I have been discussing in these dozen or so essays.  You have been indoctrinated since childhood.  Your Mommy elbowed out Dad for acculturation, left your hair in long curly waves and took away your toy guns;  your teachers got the Docs to put you on Ritalin;  you had to play baseball with girls on your team and you had to LIKE IT;  and now you have to let the girls into the Navy SEALS for GOODNESS SAKES!  You are afraid to admire a Manly Man.  It makes you queasy.  You have been acculturated to be BEN AFFLECK you DUMBSHITS so WAKE UP!

Got You By the Balls, Pards!

     Do your homework.  Talk to Manly American Patriots.  Talk to those Patriotic Warrior Women out their who still admire the Manly American Man.  On the other hand, talk only to Dumbshit Leftists and you will stay a Dumbass perpetually.  I am pleading with you that being a Dumbass all your life is the lowest form of  human life on earth.  Millions and millions of poor, downtrodden, honest and decent people all over the world are hoping, dying, praying for you to wake up from your 30 year slumber.  Pick up you battle axe and fight the good fight; the noble fight;  the fight that pits Good and Evil.  This is your destiny Men, this fight, this battle.  Your destiny is not another stupid Star Wars Movies, or highlights in your hair.  You know better.  Reach down,   deep.  I know it is still there, still alive;  just waiting for you to let it out.  The howl, the growl, the roar!  If you cannot handle all this right now, just take some cleansing breaths, go to a "safe" room, grab a box of Kleenex, and  then just take the Old Doc's advice.  Vote Trump.  And vote often.........  Your country Men, your country!  Your kid's will either benefit, or pay dearly for your November 2016 decision.  Choose wisely.  Choose Trump...........Doc
