The American Man

 "You've done well to keep your cojones, when so many is after them."

                                                                       --  Bear Claw to Jeremiah Johnson
                                                                            in "Jeremiah Johnson"

     Steady Boyz.  Here is where we start gettin' down to brass tacks.  Yeah, all the haters have been either shaken out of the game by now;  or they are out conferencing with their Legal Aid Lawyers;  or they are getting their lovely protest-march signs ready and their best camera scowl faces on.  Either way, you are in a safe zone.  No one can hurt you for reading on......'sigh.'

     The Old Doc feels your pain fellas.  You're scared.  Jelly-leg.  Fifty years of Feminism have taken their toll on your Y-Chromosome.  The X side of you is hypertrophied to the point that it is drowning out the Y screaming to get out.  The Fem-gals snicker haughtily about you at the water cooler;  they shout down your input at meetings;  they ridicule your stupidity and Southern drawl for owing an gun and eating the duck you just shot;  they only "let" you see your own children once a month and you can only take them to the Mommy-park where the safety climbing toys are;  and they ridicule you in the news, TV, movies and talk shows.  In a word, they Punk you on a daily basis.  Yeah Boyz, they sure got your nuts in a wringer.

Again, our straight talking guru, Bear Claw:

 "I never could find no tracks on a woman's heart. I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were, and the meanest bitch that ever balled for beads. I lodge-poled her at Deadwood Creek, and traded her for a Hawken gun. But don't get me wrong; I loves the womens, I surely do. But I swear, a woman's breast is the hardest rock that the Almighty ever made on this earth, and I can find no sign on it". 

     But never fear muh bruthas.'  The Old Doc has got your waxed back.  We will engage in developing a Primer on the Manly arts, and a Manly Education Curriculum for your fledgling sons, nephews, Godsons, grandsons, and neighbor sons.  Do NOT let this fall into the hands of your wife or girlfriend because she will lambast at you for even reading this HATE literature, and immediately seek a restraining order, and a mandate for you to go to Anger Management Classes..... And Boyz -- by necessity we will continue to refer to the unfair sex often.  No way to get around it since A MAN's ENTIRE BEING IS CENTERED AROUND SERVING HIS WOMAN.   That is my thesis, which means my main point, ma illiterate bruthas.'  This is the central core of Manhood that you must comprehend and accept it if you are ever to again become The American Man.

     Now before you start nitpicking, know that we are talking about sincere Men here, good Men.  We are talking about building healthy families, kids with integrity, honor, patriotism.  We are talking about sincere women, good women;  women who want healthy families but who, along with so many Men,  are misguided by evil, by ideologues, by a sick culture.  We are talking about how to build a strong and good Nation;  yeah, kinda like our Founding Fathers did.  So, as your mind sidetracks on the exception, keep this in mind, wouldja Pards?

     So, what on earth does the Old Doc mean when he says that your entire being is designed to serve the woman?   Baby steps bro', baby steps.  Let us first examine a Man's watershed point;  the moment the river changes direction from eastward to westward.  The age at which boy becomes......a girl-toy.    The 30 year old  4-pronged buck.  (Used to be the 20 year old, but with all that extra time playing video games, adolescence is now extending into the fourth decade}.  You all know the archetypal of which I speak.  Baby boy born 30 years ago.  Parental flower-children still smoking Wacky Weed and reminiscing all those Vietnam Protest marches, free love and God-awful hairdos.   Parents who refuse to do anything their own parents did or believed in.   They eschew a Biblical name and go with "Justin", a nice-sounding meaningless moniker,  after no one in particular.  Boy grows up, long girly hair, no more baseball cap, no Army toys, only Sesame Street-approved Elmo dolls.   Mommy edges Pop out of the upbringing in order to "hear her roar."  Justin learns "whole language" in school, and therefore grows up illiterate.   Since he can't read, his mind wanders and that gets him tagged  "Attention Deficit Disorder."  That buys him a ticket to the Yellow Submarine with a lifetime of  Ritalin  (Amphetamines, fits right into Parents Druggy past don't it?).   "Shockingly"  he starts  smoking dope as a teenager, and, in addition to being a "dope" he is  also becoming "sensitive," no more sports, or ROTC.   He hates football players.  He graduates from High School without ever having  a paying job, or even chores at home.  Next to dope and skinny jeans,  he finds his true passion in video games, and at age 25,  permanently roosts in Mommy's basement since Mommy won't cut the chord.   Maybe tries his hand at "taking some classes."   His fifth-wheel father broods  on the sidelines at what a loser his son has become.

Justin's folks are becoming a "real drag"  by age 30, so he shacks up with Ashley, the most convenient Mommy replacement.......  Sound familiar dudes?  The new American Male!  Boy, those Chinese Minions just can't wait to attack a country defended by this army of pouty-lipped special farces.

 

   
     This, then is the New Man, the Nuevo Hombre.  This is the new American Male.  The proud synthesis of our  philosophical nemesis -- Marxism.  One hundred years of Marxist fairy tales slow-dripping into our culture, tactically implemented by Feminists, has produced an American Man who no longer gives his all to provide for his woman.  We now have a parasite who lives only under the care and tutelage of any woman.  From dependable, to dependent.  From heroic to pathetic.  "The dude abides!"

     Wherever does a Fella start to change this?  To reclaim his noble state, that is.  Well sir,  let's give 'er a whack, a start.  Biologically, a Man's very being centers on his woman.  Either he is a good man, and devotes his every fiber to providing for his woman and her children; or he is a loser who devotes every fiber to finding a Mommy replacement, a woman who will care for, think for, and provide for him.  It is not always black or white.   As usual, often the edges are blurred.  But either way, his every orientation is about a woman.  And, fellas, this is why Feminism has been so devastating in weakening American families.  Men are largely molded by their need for their woman's approval -- approval to get in her pants, or approval to build a life and family together.  He'll go either way. 

     A good, sincere "pioneer" woman (Miss Kay, "Duck Dynasty"), rewards a Man's hard labors, courage and determination with a loving tenderness, praise, and yes, hot meals.  He works from dawn to dusk, clears the land, fights off invaders, and stands tall to adversity, and she is grateful that he has made it possible to raise her children, "the right way."  Like a good horse or hunting dog, she pats him on the head, scratches his ears, gives him a bag of oats, and works him like hell again the next day, and her Man LOVES it!   Here then, is the million-dollar life-tip muh bruthas' -- find yourself a woman who will treat you like the Old Timers treated a good horse or a sled dog.  (NOT a lap dog).  You will achieve your potential, and she will be happy and build a happy home.  The children will know Jesus, and will build on the foundation of their forefathers.  America will stay strong and righteous.........

     Bro', maybe you're on the Metro fence at this very moment.  Henpecked to death by the gals in your family or work circle;  doubting yourself, your very manhood,  You are  torn between standing tall, or pushing  aside your apron, getting on your knees and changing the baby's diaper after working all day at your job merely because "we agreed this would be 50/50 and it's your turn."  Whatever is a Lad to do?

     You sensitive Chaps, skip the next few sentences;  way too harsh for you, seriously......So, start with biology --  bend over slightly, reach between your legs, grab the ovoid ornaments hanging there, give 'em a squeeze to squirt out some testosterone, and COWBOY UP for Mankind's sake!  Face the Devil head on, yeah, put on your Cowboy boots, wear a shirt that doesn't match, don't worry about the dab of shaving cream still in your ear, tease the little kiddies until they cry, and DO NOT apologize for it!  The kids will love you later on for it;  the gals will swoon when they realize a Manly heart is still pumpa-thumpin' in there, and the Nation will finally get back to severely punishing those folks that behead our people with a dull knife on TV,  instead of  Metrosexually urging compassion and understanding.

     OK, you tender boys can start reading again.......You wanna know what ACTIONS you can take in order to change the course of your personal, and this nation's history?  Try some of these on for size:

Start going to Church, pray, and at least act like you care about God's will for you
Find women to date at the church social not at the bar or night club
Reject as a wife any girl with a tramp stamp
Chuck the  pointy shoes (cowboy boots excepted)
Dress yourself, don't let her do it
Get a job, mowing lawns if you have to, and work every day
Forget about how you look, and worry about what you are becoming
Get out of a room of gaggling gals, EVERY time, post haste!
Smoke a cigar with the Men if you care to
Don't use a breath mint after smoking your cigar
Call your friends Men, not guys
Marry her.  Don't live with a gal that is not your wife
Marry her FOR LIFE.  'Til death do us part....
Dump the gal who tells you she is not ready for marriage, but gives you a key
Be kind, loving and gentle to your wife, but do not be a doormat
And.....

Start taking up your rightful place in childrearing, teaching little boys and girls Manly examples.
Take them to Church, pray with them, read the Scriptures to them
Take them to see "American Sniper"
Take them to Airshows and Rodeos
Encourage ROTC, military academies, and service in the U.S. Armed Forces
Get him in Boy Scouts instead of SAT courses
Teach them the manly disciplines of sports
Take them hunting, take them to baseball games
Teach them how to competently use firearms
Teach them  American History
Read to them tales of King Arthur
Read to them Grimm's Fairy tales
Read to them Horatio Alger books
Read to them Louis L'Amour westerns
Throw away Sesame St, and "Heather Has Two Mommies"
Teach them about the Bible
Emphasize the Christ
Gather them at Christ-Mass for their spiritual memories
Gather them at Thanksgiving for their spiritual memories
Teach them to drive a car
Teach them the joy of doing chores and manual labor
Teach them about Good and Evil because they do exist
Stand tall before your children, even if you intimidate them
Intimidate the children in order to better teach the tough disciplines
Be like the turtle, comfortable in your own shell
Teach your little boy how to be a man
Teach your little girl, how to treat a man

     Because, fellas, being a Man does NOT mean a carefully coiffed  2-3 day beard  as "a look."  It does not mean engaging in girly "high-fives" for every trivial occurrence.  And it does not mean shacking up, hooking up, or cleaning up on each and every promiscuous, misguided gal that offers to show you her tramp stamp.  Have some pride, ma bruthas' and do the RIGHT thing even in a age when doing the WRONG thing is so easy, and so accepted.  Remember, a lot of the gals out there are competing to see who can engage  the most frequently in  coitus;  but on the other hand a lotta other gals out there still value decency, modesty, honest, integrity, and Manliness.  Yeah, all the Old Time stuff.  The Pioneer stuff.  The Founding Father stuff.

     Forget about the inanity of "fairness."  As Mrs. Doc always says, "The Fair is in Pomona."  There is no such thing as equality of outcome or diaper changing, because there is no such thing as equality of intelligence, physical ability, effort or courage.  Forget about teaching your kids about Bill "House of Cards" Clinton;  about Martin Luther King, about Cesar Chavez, about the First Gay Mayor and his courageousness; about all the social climbers out there in 12-step programs, about those "courageous single moms".  Hell, the schools, the news, the magazines, the songs, and the paintings have saturated your kids minds ad nauseum with these "heroes."

     Try teaching them instead something new, something they have never ever heard of.  General Washington's Atlas-like heroism in founding our country;  General George Patton's manly skill at destroying the Satanic Nazis;  Sam Houston's determined crusade to defeat and conquer  Mexico's dictator, Generalissmo Santa Ana;  President George W. Bush's courage in the face of Leftist cowardice,  in crushing the leadership scum of the September 11, 2001 murders; and Andrew Carnegie, a poor Scottish immigrant whose steel brought American into world dominance, who became one of the richest men in American history, and by the time he died, he had given it all away to charity.

And now that I think about it, in overwhelming our kiddies with "plights" of various and sundry "oppressed" peoples,  why not teach your kids this never taught story of a minority Man putting it all on the line for HIS country, instead of protesting against it?

Corporal Joseph H. De Castro (1844–1892) - De Castro served in Company I, 19th Massachusetts Infantry and was the first Hispanic-American Medal of Honor recipient". During the battle, De Castro attacked a confederate flag bearer from the 19th Virginia Infantry regiment, with the staff of his own colors and seized the opposing regiment's flag, handing the prize over to General Alexander S. Webb. General Webb is quoted as saying:

"At the instant a man broke through my lines and thrust a rebel battle flag into my hands. He never said a word and darted back. It was Corporal Joseph H. De Castro, one of my color bearers. He had knocked down a color bearer in the enemy's line with the staff of the Massachusetts State colors, seized the falling flag and dashed it to me".   

     Yup, you boyz have got to quit scratching your facing-the-floor belly-button, kick all your loser friends out of the garage, quit using a six-pack to stimulate your success plan, and grow up for heaven's sake.  Stand up FOR your woman, but also stand up TO her, if need be.  Find yourself a woman that is worth running your paws bloody in a minus 50 snowstorm, determined to  keep pulling that sled even if it kills you.  THAT, my fellow Men is a woman to ride the river.  Maybe worth your life?

     America owes everything to Men of courage and their pioneer women that built this country from its beginnings as a wild, dangerous land of prehistoric men, into the greatest civilization Mankind has ever witnessed.  Brave, ambitious Men have made this land a haven for business, innovation,  and dreams.  It has been a Godsend for the poor, the immigrant, the ethnic minority, and the woman, who have all faired light-years better off here than in any other civilization in history.  You fellas, quit buying into the "yeah, but how 'bout all the abuses, yada, yada, yada?"  That is weak talk that is subversive, that is dissociative, and that is feminine.   The American Man is tough, noble, courageous and righteous.  He is not cruel.  Real cruelty is belittling a Man's sacrifices;  cruelty is sending our men out to fight a savage, cruel enemy, and demanding suicidal Rules of Engagement;  and cruelty is not getting your  precious princess ass up from the couch to greet and feed him when he comes home with bloody paws after 14 hours of working for you and the kids.....  Do yourself a favor pal.  Look up what the Marines did during the 17 sub-zero bloody days at the Chosin Reservoir,  Korea 1950.  The Manliness of those fellas and so many like them'll bring a tear to the eye.......

Rest In Peace

     Only one perfect man has walked the earth.  He gave His all for the world's lowliest, its sinners.  Many, many imperfect Men are giving their all for honor, integrity, their families and their Manhood.  The Old Doc's Old Man had no education, was an immigrant, never spoke very good English, but he tried....worked every day until he couldn't, stood at his wife's bedside every day her last few demented years, and sent his son to Medical School.  An American Man.  A Man's Man......Doc

Rest In Peace

   

Machismo

"And I found out a long time ago

     What a Woman can do to your soul.

     Ah, but she can't take you anywhere

     You don't already know how to go"

                                                                  Eagles

                                                                  "Peaceful, Easy Feelin'

     The 17th Edition of "Diccionario De La Lengua Espanola", from the Real Academia Espanola (1947), defines macho as "animal del sexo masculino."   This usage comes from Spain.  Later,  from 1967, "Nuevo Diccionario Velasquez Revisado" from Columbia University Professor of Spanish Mariano Velasquez de la Cadena , this word is defined as  "a male animal, in particular a mule or a he-goat."  Again, nothing hateful in that, hmm?  Certainly nothing pejorative.

     OK fellas, so what is the Old Doc's point?  (Not an academic one, that is for sure.  We only deal in my anachronistic opinions, clear)?  As we all know, descriptive words change over time, don't they?  Listen, for example,  to the average gal as she uses the word "Macho."   She invariably curls her lip, rolls her eyes and delivers a dollup of scorn and derision at the male target for some perceived behavioral infraction.  Umm, let's say, like finishing his cigar instead of immediately standing to and throwing out the garbage on her command.  Furthermore, she is typically using the word as a adjective, so that she can emphasize a more accurate description of "that Macho asshole."

     I have two points to make here.  One, Macho was originally a noun;  yeah, a mule or a goat.   I guess both have the literary rap of being stubborn, but as a scientist, the Old Doc would rather "determined."  And two, why the heck, fellas, are we letting the gals pejoratively define us he-goats anyway?  Why do they get to call our work or recreation areas "man cave?"  Why do we not call them on it when they gang-judge you in front of the girls with, "whoa, real macho man, huh!"  Why do we assimilate into our own vocabulary and thought those condescending attitudes the gals proclaim when they nod knowingly and roll their eyes with, "you know, its a guy thing." Why do we just play along and let them make us squeamish about even uttering the words Machismo, Manly, Manliness, Manhood, and yes, even "Man?"  And why do gals just love those dreamy "guys" like Raymond (as in "Everybody Loves....."), Seinfeld, Ben Affleck, Bill Clinton, Brad Pitt, and nearly every single Hip-Hop artist? (Come on fellas, don't be fooled by their shocking references to "bitches" and "ho's" -- that is artistic cover for a bunch of mamma's boys acting out (more on that later).

      It is the Old Doc's overinflated opinion that our fellow fellas are today succumbing to the tentacles of the female-dominated culture, and I am here to chew some ass to get you to stop it!  Stop blindly giving the gals what they demand of you,  because fellas, THEY THEMSELVES DO NOT REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY WANT.  There, I actually did say that. ..... and lovingly.....with all sincerity.    As the FemNazis start marching me to the firing squad wall, let me get in a few parting licks before I slump down in a pool of blood.  Remember fellas, first, and foremost the Old Doc is a friend to Family women.  The Feminists are another matter;  they are ideologues.  They are the purveyors of the Anti-Family and  enemy to sincere women.  Feminists gin up division and within the context of their own  pathologies and political agendas,   they exploit other women and they decimate families.  The Old Doc is trying to save Families from these grifters.

     Unfortunately women today often unwittingly drink the Feminist Kool-Aid,  convinced that they must demand that you  be sensitive like they are.  They demand that you "listen" like they do.  They demand that you dress and do your hair like they want you to.  They demand that you only say those things that they approve of.  And, they demand that you lower Manly standards of competition and performance so that they can "crack" the "boys" Golf Clubs, the Police and Fire Departments,  Little Leagues, and the Navy SEALS.   Heck boys, they even demand that you start to LOOK like them, what with highlights, eye liner, and those pouty lips.  Failure to meet these demands slows your progression into their tight fittin' jeans; leads to sex-discrimination suits; and forces male institutions to "pony up."  Yup, they have Man-control down pat in many, many ways ma bruthas.

     My point, bro's, is not to incite revolt.  And, we are not antagonistic to women themselves.  If this is your roll,  you are stupid, stop reading now, and go to confession.  What we should aim to destroy is the growing dominance of modern Feminist cultural values that seek to create unnatural and harmful relationships between a Man and a Women.  This ultimately harms families.  So, even though you do DO  all that they demand,  just take a good, long look at what it gets you.  Just more whining, more complaining, more demanding.  Ask Dubya.   He tried the juggling act,  but he just   oozed  so much Man  that they crucified him for eight years.  His crimes?   About the man who slaughtered 3,000 Americans he rallied, "We'll get him.  Dead or Alive."  His favorite book is the Bible.  He is Texan.  And boy did they slam him for  appropriately showing the Fighting Men  under his command what a Macho he was by landing an attack jet on an aircraft carrier!

     Goodness, no matter what you do boys, male Sexism, Racism, and Lip-ism might just never end!  Too intoxicating.  Power is addictive.  But just as women are creating  a grievous catastrophe by teaching their little girls to be more "man-like", I contend that dudes are getting all Stockholm Syndrome,  tripping all over themselves to be stamped with the Seal of Gal-Approval.  Women need their Man to be a Man;  and Men need their women to be women.  (Remember that hilarious Seinfeld episode when Jerry falls in love with a gal who was exactly like him?  Brrrrr! It makes one shudder).  I feel compelled to remind you that for the sake of your little boys and little girls out there who are watching you VERY closely, you must stand your ground and stand up for your inherent manliness.   Not revolt.  Resistance.   Stay the course, stop whimpering and "be a man!" as Don Corleone would say.

Johnny Fontane: [discussing his problems] I don't know what to do, Godfather. My voice is weak, it's weak. Anyway, if I had this part in the picture, it puts me right back on top, you know. But this... this man out there. He won't give it to me, the head of the studio. 

Don Corleone: What's his name? 

Don Corleone: Woltz. He said there's no chance, no chance... 

[Meanwhile, Hagen finds Sonny and summons him]

Johnny Fontane: A month ago he bought the rights to this book, a best seller. The main character is a guy just like me. I wouldn't even have to act, just be myself. Oh, Godfather, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do... 

[All of a sudden, Don Corleone rises from his chair and gives Fontane a savage shake]

Don Corleone: YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN! 

[gives a quick slap to Fontane]

Don Corleone: What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, a Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman? "Oh, what do I do? What do I do?" What is that nonsense? Ridiculous! 

[the Don's unexpected mimicry makes Hagen and even Fontane laugh; around this time Sonny comes in]

Don Corleone: Tell me, do you spend time with your family? 

Johnny Fontane: Sure I do. 

Don Corleone: Good. Because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man. 

[gives a quick look at Sonny and affectionately embraces Fontane]

Don Corleone: You look terrible. I want you to eat, I want you to rest well. And a month from now this Hollywood big shot's gonna give you what you want. 

Johnny Fontane: Too late. They start shooting in a week. 

Don Corleone: I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse. Okay? I want you to leave it all to me. Go on, go back to the party. 

     Alright already!  So, just what is a Man?  What is manliness or Machismo?  Now hear me on this fellas, I am NOT going to get all Webster on you here, and I am as serious as a case of measles.  Being a Man means simply this -- a  human male 's intelligent striving to  approximate,  as best as he can,  God's purpose for his life on earth..........yeah.

     Doc's definition.  Simple.  But embracing as the sea breeze, ay me Lads?

     OK, so I just lost half my audience.  Only 1 or 2 of you left.   Harrumph!  You folks will read anything, any garbage out there on the Web or YouTube, but mention G _ D, and "Ah'm outta here!"   Indeed.  Well boys, never me mind all the fame, adulation,  fortune and pouty lips.  At my advanced age and decrepit intellectual state, I have become more or less infatuated instead with The Truth. Reality.  The Market.  The Family.  The Little Boy, The Little Girl.  The Country.  So let's gamble!

     Since most of you younger fellas have never learned vocabulary or grammar,  let me explain my concept of Manliness or Machismo.  God made us.  (Oh, there you go again, puffing up with all that Marxist propaganda popping into your Ritalin-soaked mind, right now, , no, really, yeah, got it, Fidel Castro and Darwin created Man, yeah, the "Nuevo Hombre."   Right.    Stop intellectually masterb....., er, I mean,  arguing with me for just a nanosecond and listen.   Yes, as if your life, corporeal and eternal, depends on it.  And, yes,  I know you 30-year old bro-hams out there woke up just yesterday and knew, JUST KNEW, that you were the smartest, most awesomest dude in the universe; and any and everything that the Old Man says anymore is merely the prattle of an ever so out of touch geezer.  I get that.  But humor this Old Doc a smidge, OK?)

     After  Creation, God endowed Men with various and sundry biological characteristics that, combined with evolution,  have imprinted traits and patterns of behavior on our DNA.  For you Bro-Hams, that means your genetics, you know, the shape of your nose and how well you throw a spear (at least when compared with your wife).  Evolution, combined with His Grace, has strategically honed a Man's DNA to optimally carry out vital tasks for the successful propagation of the species, which  includes the gals, and the kiddies, yessir.   These vital tasks include finding food, fighting off Cave Bears, physically keeping the over-the-hill tribe from stealing your women and making her a slave (or a meal), and working at the office or factory 12 hours a day, 7 days a week (including vacations so as to earn that extra check, for years and years and years.  Kinda like my Old Man did to feed his woman, and little ones).  Just look at your body, compared to Susie's.  You have larger shoulder and neck muscles, bigger thighs, and a deeper voice.  Heck, how you gonna scare away those bad, bearded, club-welding barbarians that have just attacked your village, with only a squeaky falsetto and a purse to hit them with?

The Old Doc is herein not going to give you a full anatomy lesson.  I know that since the First grade your Girl-Teachers have insisted on instructing you on sex ed, not on anatomy.  So you are well-schooled on where to find your private parts.......or how OK it is if you want to share your private parts with little Johnny, but that, my brothers, is for another day.

     So, me hearties, if our physical is so different from the gals, then do you not accept that the same could be true of our behavioral and emotional?  Guys?  Bro-dudes?  Do you think that when ancient man was running full blast to catch and kill that buck to feed hungry mouths at home, that he was thinking about how abandoned he felt when his best girl looked at him funny that morning over roasted beetles?

Naw dudes, he was concentrating on the practical, no doubt.  "If I trip over a tree branch and break my leg, I will not be able to hunt for weeks, and therefore my family will starve to death."  So when this Apocalypto Man gets home, dead deer on his back and blood around his jowls from eating the raw liver, he is not really gonna be able to comprehend a discussion on how unfulfilling her day, and her life are.  And he is certainly not going to get into a conversation about taking her on the hunt with him next time because "staying at home and chewing on his moccasins to soften them is so unfair.  Oh Runs Like The Wind, I need, absolutely need to become a Navy Seal-let someday!"

   
     This Old Doc is here to tell you Faux-Men out there,  that you do not have to do the Michael Jackson makeover to find your dream girl.  If you become Metro-Guy, diggin' the fine wines and helping her chop the bell peppers, she is still going to dump you after, say,  3-5 years for a "real" Man;  you know, the one that really "understands" her.  And she will keep recycling these "guys" until she is old and wrinkled and can't wow them with her physical charms anymore.  She is then become the perennial "Single Mom", and her life is just so "hard."  How unjust.  In the meantime, your little kiddies are having to suffer a step-dad or step-dude who is really repulsed by your red-headed daughter, and, well, you know how the saying goes.  All because you thought early on that actually agreeing to act against your biological nature would expedite getting into her pants!

     You will find on the contrary fellas, that being a Manly Man will make her the happiest and most fulfilled in the long run.  Hey,  doubt me if you want, but it was she that first ate the apple, not him!  Oh sure, you may still often disagree on, well, EVERYTHING.  But hasn't that been the way of the world, like dude, FOREVER?  As a wise sage once said:

"I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, amen.
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men..."

                                                                               Randy Travis
                                                                               "Forever and Ever, Amen"

Sure folks,  loving disagreement by a Man and a woman on tactics, even strategy,  is not only NOT disharmonious, but it is the best thing for your new family.  You love your wife.  She opposes you painting the entire upstairs with a giant green image of the Incredible Hulk.  You are lovingly fit to be tied, but a little time goes by and you are thinking about it, just like Runs Like A Deer concentrated and thought "how good that deer is gonna taste when I ketch 'im."  Then it comes to you...."heck, I can paint this mural in my garage, and let her girly-out the upstairs".

     You come to an agreement, she wins the upstairs, but you win the garage, the beat goes on.  You hone your techniques and guess what?  Your wars are teaching examples for the little imprintable kiddies.   The finer points of disagreement  and resolution are hashed out and the Family bonds and thrives.  What a concept!  You have not damaged your Manhood;  you have not co-signed your wife's "I-am-woman-hear-me-roar bullshit";  and you have improved your Family's station in the world.  Yeah, more meat, more hides, better tepee, more horses, and more esteem among your peers.  And maybe your marriage will last for 34 years, or 50, or 60.  And just maybe your kids, grandkids, and so on, will respect you as a Man, and not a surrogate Mom.  Remember, the kiddies ARE going to hold YOU responsible if you do not lead the family into some better hunting grounds.  They might feel sorry for "poor Mom, ";  but they will have contempt for a weak, aproned, henpecked, doormat Daddy Dearest.

     The cultivation of weak Men is pervasive and sneaky boys.  You think you are rejecting it, and boom, one day you find yourself pushing your wife's little skirt-wearing  lamb in the baby stroller.  Just ponder this example from current events.  Governor Chris Christie, Republican from New Jersey, and Rand Paul, Republican Tea Party Senator from Kentucky are publicly questioning whether we ought to "force" our mothers to get their kiddies VACCINATED.  This is so intergalactically looney on so many scientific and medical levels that this Old Doc will sidestep the health arguments for the moment.

Thousands of the "Iron Lung children" dying horrible Pre-Tetanus Vaccine deaths

Relevant to our discussion, however, are two points.  One, "Republican" is basically, the Man's party. Women vote Democrat, fact.  And, two, withholding lifesaving VACCINES from the kiddies is largely a Gal issue, being driven my Mom's who recoil at baby Moonbeam getting so many painful boo-boos.  Yeah, makes her cry.  Running out of Flintstone band-aids.  So Christie and Paul, jump on the Girl-Wagon to score some points with the Fem-Vote, and quicker than you can say, "Measles Epidemic", families are being put in Pre-WWI danger as thousands of un-immunized neighbors  contract formerly ERADICATED diseases, some LETHAL.  (yeah folks, most patients with Meningococcal Meningits either die, or have permanent brain-fry!).  All so Miss Christie and Miss Paul can be "sensitive" to the FemeQuack agenda!

     Remember amigos, Manliness does not mean ignorance.  Hollywood loves portraying you dudes as him-bos, bro-mancing silly stupidity in your man-caves.  You are incompetent, directionless, pointlessly stubborn and unreasonable, incorrigible, unfocused, childish, deceitful, and tiresome to that incredibly competent, strong, visionary, practical women that is ever so burdened with your daily care and feeding.   SHE must always swoop in at the end to save the day.   See pal, I actually am asking you to dump the eye shadow, don't fret if you forget to floss once in a while, and for your family's sake grow a pair.  You got 'em and she don't.

     Be Manly in all you do and keep gazing out at the horizon.  It is what you do best.  You are the big thinker, you are the visionary, and you are the leader.

Don't play small-ball.  That is your women's forte, muh bruthas.  Yeah, she evolved to have babies via a special physical anatomy;  feed them from her breasts;  make the fire, keep up the tepee,  load the musket, chat away with the kiddies to teach them to talk, and make her man those doe-skin shirts to keep him warm for the winter hunt.  SHE must play small-ball, by evolutionary necessity, and YOU, my friend, need to reassure her that she is doing what God meant for her, so that she can relax and quite trying to compete with you;  or to be that high-powered Xena-Attorney she and her burn-the-bra Mom always admired.  It is not YOUR role to own HER  role for  some silly,  sophomoric concept of "fairness."  I warn you -- she will tire of you and dump you quick if you do that;  and your kiddies will be embarrassed by you.  Try this on for size fellas.  Insist that your gal treat you like a working horse or dog.  You work hard.  Get groomed regularly, get fed adequately, and once in a while get a pat on the head.  It'll make you wanna go out there and work for her like a son of a gun.    Lotta gals treat their man worse than their animals.    Trust me on this

     Aw, c'mon, for sure -- if a gal wants to try BUDS, run Ebay, or do brain surgery, by all means fellas, we do not stand in principle against sincere goals.  But when her "accomplishments" require YOU to walk on your tip-toes,  take cotillion dancing classes instead of mixed martial arts, or let her into the Man Club with inferior qualifications --  well boys, a man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do............Doc

A Man's Man

     Whoa!  Whoa! WHOA!  Easy out there.  Should these editorials have your bloomers in a bunch already after only the introduction, immediately STEP AWAY FROM THE ESSAY!  That's right, before any further psychic damage ensues, just stop reading.  And don't send the goons out to slash my tires; break my windows and splash paint on my coyote-skin hat.  And PULEEESE put down the speed dial to your Lawyer-Sin-Fronteras.  Sue me,  and you are suing the wrong guy.  Go after the real crooks wouldja?  You know, the ones that are pilfering your tax dollars over in Washington D. C. and lie to you every time their lips move.  I am merely an Old, has-been, legally blind, wide-based-gait-walking, takes-forever-to-void, drooling, retired Family Doc.  And besides, ideas don't harm anyone....?

     Why, anyway,  would this old retired Doc deign to tackle a subject so feared and so despised as Manhood?  Heck, I simply do not need the aggravation of your rage at being exposed to such a heretical malignancy.  Kinda like second-hand smoke ay?  Yet even the most reluctant of you must agree that our culture and our education systems have methodically and dishonestly attempted to obliterate our admiration for our country's visionary Masculine heroes -- General Washington, part of the evil cabal of White Man Mason Slaveowners that set our country down the road to evil;  Thomas Jefferson fathered a mulatto slave love-child;  Old Hickory Andy Jackson was a serial killer;  General U.S. Grant was a falling-down drunk;  and General Phil Sheridan singlehandedly cause American Indians to have alcoholism even to this day.  Heck, I bet soon we will hear about that Captain John Smith date-raped Pocahontas, proving yet another revered day of worship, ThanksGiving, to be rotten to the core.

     But let us step back away from the agenda-driven deconstruction of our revered heroes.  Let us look at the objective evidence, and for just a smidgeon steer clear of the politics of destruction and deconstruction....for just a smidgeon, shall we?  True enough, America's Founding Fathers and Pioneers and Soldiers were Men.  Most were less densely pigmented than others.  And yes, they were by and large Christian.  Yeah, yeah, all negatives, I get it.  Men, White, Christians.  Some are now even considered worse than war criminals because they had the audacity to be successful and wealthy.   But just what did Dan'l Boone, Captain Meriweather Lewis, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Wyatt Earp, Gus McCrae, and John Wayne all produce?   Well by my reckoning, they produced America.  The greatest and freest civilization mankind has ever experienced.  Not bad for starters, ay?

     Yeah, yeah, you got your fans of ancient Persia; of course perennially the Chinese, 5000 years this and 5000 years that, kung fu, gunpowder, got it.  OK, Greece and Rome were admittedly awesome progenitors of Western civilization and values, buy hey, they were after all Pagans;  and try being an illegal alien in Ancient Rome.  Ask Socrates about freedom of thought in ancient Greece, as he gulped down a poison smoothie.    But let me just remind you of one FACT, and let's see if I can get all you do-gooders, "forthechildren", "equality and justice for the poor and downtrodden", Doctors without borders,  and "si se puedes" out there to bite, or nibble at some truth for just a bit.  Which other civilization has EVER given $FREE 99 land ownership to anyone who wanted it, would go out and claim it, and had the discipline, work ethic and guts to work it, keep it, and defend it?  Game.  Set.  Checkmate.

     And furthermore, how did we Americans get all this land to give away to the dirt poor masses  that directly led to the greatest human migration ever seen in the history of mankind?  Well briefly,  a man, General Washington fought the greatest power in the world at the time for nearly a decade to claim a sliver of it... Thirteen Colonies, for the "people."  He fought the British in blood-type fighting, not waving stupid signs on CNN type fighting.  Then Thomas Jefferson bought a whole bunch more land from France, sent Captain's Lewis and Clarke out to explore and claim it.  President James Monroe fought Spain to obtain more land,  and then General Houston and General Pershing defeated Generalissimo Santana to obtain more land, and .........the next thing you know all these Men Manifested Destiny, from sea to shining sea. Throw in Alaska from the Russians and poof!  You have the USA, 50 states, no more kings nor more dictators, all the land you want,  some free, and some requiring effort, everybody votes and everyone is armed.  And what a bonus,  without the Russians around, we saved the Sea Otter!  These Male heroes, in essence,  cleared out all the world's bad guys from the continental U.S.  Yes, I am talking about King George III, the King of Spain, the King of France, Generalissimo Santana, the Russians, and Pedro Flores, for goodness sake.  It was rough going for both sides, but they also brought prehistoric men like Geronimo out of the 10,000 B.C. era, and into the modern world.  Yeah, cry me a river about his "plight", but I don't hear anybody today crying about those unlucky 20th Century Ukrainians that were embargoed and starved to DEATH to the tune of 45-50 MILLION by Joseph Stalin, yup, Ol' Uncle Joe.

 

     Prior to our Evil White Rich Men Founding Fathers, none of these characters were giving away land to the poor,  allowing poor folks to vote, or granting the right to bear arms or for an attorney.   Nor were they tolerant of Feminism, Buddhism or Islam.  Heck America's evil Founding Men even gave tons of land to the folks that were still using bone knives to scalp The Evil White Women of these Evil White Men.   They GAVE a good chunk of the U.S. land mass to cultures that condoned burning farmers and their wives and kids!  Have you heard of any civilization that GAVE huge chunks of their country, and even casinos over to the more primitive cultures and the LOSERS of a war?

And Mexicans?  Hell, there are more Mexicans in Los Angeles than there are in Mexico City!  A few of them actually do not have any legal right to be here, but they work, collect welfare, and have their babies in our hospitals.  Ever hear of those bennies for foreigners in , 'gulp', Mexico?  

What about abuses say you, my perceptive college sophomore?  Sure, Lenin was abusive.  Mao was abusive.  Joe Stalin was abusive.  Ask Marie Curie about abuses by that happy French Revolution.  But, kind Partisan Activists, are you really going to keep up the tiresome contention that General George Washington was equivalently evil to Mao See Stalin?!?  I thought that by the time we left the 3rd grade we all knew that human beings and human institutions were all imperfect?  As far as the Old Doc remembers, Christ was the only perfect Man to ever walk the earth.

     But let us do talk imperfection, shall we?  The tired contention of America's filthy underbelly, inevitably wanders back to slavery.  OK, let's talk turkey then.  Did not over 750,000 White American Men die so that Black Slavery would end in America, at the same time that most of Europe continued to purchase slaves from Black African Slave traders?  Did not the Blackfeet make slaves of the Crow?    Did not Generalissimo Santana routinely slaughter his own people if they did not accept him as Supreme Dictator?  Did not thousands of Mexican Catholics or Cristeros give their lives for the right to their faith when President Plutarco Elias Calles made Catholicism ILLEGAL?   Did not Spain's oppressive New World monarchy sink to irrelevance shortly after losing out to American Men after the Spanish American War?  Did not Europe's groovy and oh so sophisticated systems lead to a 20th century of wars that slaughtered  HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of regular guys, farmers, mechanics, you know, the downtrodden?

Fighting for "Illegal" Catholicism

     By a factual examination of all the "evil" these Slave-owning, rich, White Men wrought on North America, we can objectively and historically measure and compare.  Easy to do.  The progeny of the ex-slaves today have a higher standard of living than do blacks living in any African country.  The two World Wars did not ravage our homes, farms and factories as they did for millions of other "poor" people around the world.  In America,  the land founded by Men, we vote, we freely elect clowns to public office, we buy homes and land, we can legally purchase the ol' equalizers with which we defend our families, and we volunteer to serve in our Armed Defense Forces.  American Men made the cotton gin, the reaper, the light bulb, the telephone, the Ford, the first flag on the moon, and the Apple Watch.  American Men defeated General Howe in 1784; the Kaiser in WWI;  Emperor Hirohito and the Fuhrer in WWII; the Evil Empire in the Cold War; and Sadaam and Osama in the Jihadist War.

     Sure, for you America-haters, this all leaves a bad taste in your mouth.  But might I insist that although you say you stand for social justice and the poor, you bitterly criticize the one country that has actually done something about helping the downtrodden and the poor, and to this day continues to pour our blood and treasure into that very ideal.  To add insult to your Marxist injury, it was largely Men that paddled the canoe on this monumental venture.......there, I said it....and so said, I actually do have a lot more skin pigmentation than most.... and I am a direct product of poor immigrants....and my family was NOT on the Mayflower.

     So Fellas, the Old Doc's message is two-fold.  First, simply take a look at how our culture, our cognoscenti, our school marms, our colleges, our news outlets, and our artists are dissing the folks with the Y-chromosomes.  Just take a look.  My contention is that your seat at the head of the table is now a booster seat;  and that steering wheel on the  boat you are the captain of  is no longer attached to the rudder.  But hey, I might be wrong.  Just check it out.

     And two, if you agree that Men are important to your wife, your kids, your community, your country, and as the last, best hope of this world.... then keep reading, learning, and perhaps start to stand up again for your dignity, your leadership, and your woman.  No, no, NO!  I am NOT advocating grabbing your gal by the hair and dragging her around the cave.  I am actually saying stop agreeing to sit in the back of the bus.  I advocate that you begin to act with the true Machismo.   That is, focusing on integrity, character, discipline and Manly courage.  And, by the way,  stop letting the AntiMen change the meaning of words, like Machismo.  I contend that your family really needs you to bring your jeans back up to your waist;  stop dressing with the sideways cap;  stop talking like 50 Cents;  sit at the head of the table and say grace, for CHRIST's SAKE!......Doc

The Manliness of Manhood

     Jesus The Christ was the very epitome of Manhood.  He was born of a human mother; felt all the human emotions and physical pain;  knew he was on earth in order to die a horrible death for the benefit of others; and he did so for some thirty-odd years willingly with love, selflessness, faith, courage and decisiveness.  I am neither a theologian nor a sociologist.  Certainly, my experiences define trivial when compared to the Son of God.  But I am indeed a Man, albeit badly flawed,  and have been for 60 years; also a Father, a Father-in-law, a Godfather, a Grandfather, a Brother,  a Son, a Son-in-law, and a Grandson.  I am also a Family Doctor, recently retired from this august calling after 30 years of clinical practice.  I have been a lot of men;  I have been a lot of Man;  and I have rubbed elbows with thousands of the masculine segment of humanity, most often in the most personal and intimate of settings.  Should you think that I am attempting to make myself credible in your estimation with this resume, you are absolutely right.  I am eminently equipped with the Man Portfolio.  And, I do have an opinion.

     One or two of you may remember this old blowhard from "Doctor Confidential", a previous series of 42 essays chronicling for my family the last dying gasps of a Physician's career (www.doctor-confidential.blogspot.com)   Well, fasten your seat belts my loyal fan, open your ears so that you may hear, and open your eyes so that you may see... this has-been may have retired from clinical practice, but he hasn't retired from pontificating, aggravating, and edu-macating!  Herein will begin a new series specifically for men, particularly younger men....you know, the type that have trouble finding their buttocks with both hands.  And by the way, you gals are welcome here.  This is a sexist-free zone, and although the modern gal is highly sexist, biassed and utterly confused about gender roles, the Ol' Doc is emphatically not!  It just might pay dividends for you gals to learn about Men from a Man....for a change.

     In my arrogant opinion, the reader will find importance in this series of screeds for the following reasons.  First, as far as I can tell, there is only token discussion going on today about Manhood.  Heck, go on and listen to young Men speak.  They cannot even utter the word "Man."  They use softening terms like "guy" or "dude"  or "bro".  It is as if saying "man" has actually become subversive;  and for most woman, the word has become an insulting adjective (see "man" cave).  Since 3 billion of the 6 billion folks inhabiting this planet are male, however,  I surmise that some droplet of attention need be paid to this subject.  I say, why not?  This ol' Doc wearies of the constant female drumbeat.  Hell, everywhere you turn today you hear about the "plight" of women:  battered, glass-ceiling, breast-cancer, equal-pay, hear-me-roar, powerful super-heroines.  But there still remain some iddy-biddy slinking, shrinking beings called Men out there who have feelings too....and prostate cancer for that matter.  They may or may not count in HumanKind's future.  (Yeah, even "Man-"kind is out).

     Secondly, as you well know, little boys are still being born, and this fact must surely merit some attention, even to the most diehard Man-haters.  Acculturation of boys in America has become so muddled and mired in disinformation, and agenda-driven political correctness that to many it is no surprise that the systemic confusing of young boys inevitably results in confused young men;  and eventually useless old men.  As a continuing sign of my own philosophical backwardness and "hatred", I insist that properly acculturating a boy should involve evolution and DNA-inspired instruction of traits that emphasize Manhood.  A boy should grow to aspire to become Manly, a state that recognizes discipline, character, nobility and faith as attributes to seek,  and NOT the punchline to modern cultural jokes.  Men are wired by DNA with a number of biological traits and behaviors which cannot be altered.  And, many of these physical traits have molded the cultural evolution of  Western Society.  Yet, this basic scientific truth is today actually considered "hate" talk by the cultural gurus.

     Thirdly, there appears even to these nearly blind eyes, some teeny-tiny problems erupting in today's society as a result of the sweeping aside the Manhood of Men.  For one, the metrosexual is but an iconic description of the modern "Guy" who is fundamentally the Bro-Friday for "Xena:  The Warrior Princess".  For the metrosexual, faux-man, his every act, thought, and desire is to please his Xena,  the Mistress of all thought, ideas, innovations and acculturation.

     SHE determines where the kids live;  how much visitation the "bio"-dad gets; what they are taught at home, in school and on the job; and how much Ritalin or Adderal  dosing her naughty little boy needs.  In the home, on the job, in Hollywood, in the schools, Xena rules with an iron fist.  In the movies she is the schoolteacher, the principal, the doctor, the judge, the social worker, the lawyer and the Senator.  She gets all the divorce booty, and custody, and she gets to yell "abuse" at every whim.  In reality Little Johnny is indeed today cowering under the jackboot of Heir Mommy.  And as a result, divorce, drug-culture, body-graffitti, gender-confusion, mediocrity, and pettiness are all gaining momentum as the culture's clarion call.  We can no longer even define "family" as we watch it disintegrate;  and we now fear as divisive,  long cherished attributes like patriotism, success, wealth, and yes, Manhood.  Faux-men are resulting in straw families made up of two women, an implanted child, a dog with health insurance, and various and sundry Boy-Toys that pop in an out of the domestic picture.  Faux-families construct a weak, culturally bereft nation.

     As components of Manhood come to life in subsequent paragraphs, this Old Doc would draw on years of personal and professional study, experience and observation.  As with "Doctor Confidential" I will not pretend at scholarship, and I adamantly insist on editorial.  Yup, my opinion.  The inspiration for these inadequate efforts are my Sons, my Son-in-law, my grandson;  but in all sincerity, also my daughter, daughter-in-laws; granddaughter, God-daughter.  The death of Manhood is having grievous repercussions for gals too, believe it or not.  Promiscuity, body graffiti, Prozac, loneliness, despair, and crippled mother instinct are but the tip of the iceberg for the modern woman's increasingly pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization.  And I will attempt to flesh out these assertions in subsequent, and equally tiring essays.

     I was recently watching a very well-done TV series called "Damages", and my fingers  again found impetus to dance polemically against the grain.  In this legal drama, a powerful woman lawyer, by hook or by crook, bullies anyone unfortunate enough to stand in her way.  Her "way" appears subliminally to be "the best" way.  It is one of the best visual testimonies to our modern cultural state and the final stages of Feminism.  In one scene, the Xena Lawyer  counsels a junior Xena by saying "Don't ever have kids.....they demand all of you....and interfere with you getting what you want out of life. ..... "

     And there you have it boys and girls.  Women become powerful;  women craft the laws and the culture; and the kiddies become an impediment (yikes!  maybe even extinct!).  And somewhere way down the food chain of impediments sits little Billy-boy -- the lowest of the low, an inconvenience so intolerable that even Xena the School Principle can now recommend for him Ritalin, a powerful and addictive amphetamine that has been shown to improve boy-control for Xena The School Principle;  Xena, the School Teacher, Xena the Pediatrician, and Xena The Boy's Mother.

     Yeah, yeah, and "hold on there Babalooie!"  I know I promised this work would be about Men, and not a manifesto about the AntiMen.  But I must warn you "guys" that until you "bros" realize that your influence is being swept into the dustbin of history;  and until you "dudes" understand by exactly what forces  Manhood is being deconstructed, you may not even realize that your BroHood bears literally no resemblance to Manhood.  You will have become Metrosexualized into insignificant obeisance, all to the everlasting detriment of your children, both boy and girl, and to future generations of trivial, petty, cowardly, misguided Americans.  It is happening now before our very eyes....  Doc
