In election 2008, don’t forget Angry White Man

There is a great amount of interest in this year’s presidential elections, as everybody seems to recognize that our next president has to be a lot better than George Bush. The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates — a woman and an African-American — while the conservative Republicans are in a quandary about their party’s nod to a quasi-liberal maverick, John McCain.

Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special-interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians.

There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man. The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard.

His common traits are that he isn’t looking for anything from anyone — just the promise to be able to make his own way on a level playing field. In many cases, he is an independent businessman and employs several people. He pays more than his share of taxes and works hard.

The victimhood syndrome buzzwords — “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” — don’t resonate with him. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him. He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the company Christmas party, three sets of braces, three college educations or a beautiful wedding.

He believes the Constitution is to be interpreted literally, not as a “living document” open to the whims and vagaries of a panel of judges who have never worked an honest day in their lives.

The Angry White Man owns firearms, and he’s willing to pick up a gun to defend his home and his country. He is willing to lay down his life to defend the freedom and safety of others, and the thought of killing someone who needs killing really doesn’t bother him.

The Angry White Man is not a metrosexual, a homosexual or a victim. Nobody like him drowned in Hurricane Katrina — he got his people together and got the hell out, then went back in to rescue those too helpless and stupid to help themselves, often as a police officer, a National Guard soldier or a volunteer firefighter.

His last name and religion don’t matter. His background might be Italian, English, Polish, German, Slavic, Irish, or Russian, and he might have Cherokee, Mexican, or Puerto Rican mixed in, but he considers himself a white American.

He’s a man’s man, the kind of guy who likes to play poker, watch football, hunt white-tailed deer, call turkeys, play golf, spend a few bucks at a strip club once in a blue moon, change his own oil and build things. He coaches baseball, soccer and football teams and doesn’t ask for a penny. He’s the kind of guy who can put an addition on his house with a couple of friends, drill an oil well, weld a new bumper for his truck, design a factory and publish books. He can fill a train with 100,000 tons of coal and get it to the power plant on time so that you keep the lights on and never know what it took to flip that light switch.

Women either love him or hate him, but they know he’s a man, not a dishrag. If they’re looking for someone to walk all over, they’ve got the wrong guy. He stands up straight, opens doors for women and says “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am.”

He might be a Republican and he might be a Democrat; he might be a Libertarian or a Green. He knows that his wife is more emotional than rational, and he guides the family in a rational manner.

He’s not a racist, but he is annoyed and disappointed when people of certain backgrounds exhibit behavior that typifies the worst stereotypes of their race. He’s willing to give everybody a fair chance if they work hard, play by the rules and learn English.

Most important, the Angry White Man is pissed off. When his job site becomes flooded with illegal workers who don’t pay taxes and his wages drop like a stone, he gets righteously angry. When his job gets shipped overseas, and he has to speak to some incomprehensible idiot in India for tech support, he simmers. When Al Sharpton comes on TV, leading some rally for reparations for slavery or some such nonsense, he bites his tongue and he remembers. When a child gets charged with carrying a concealed weapon for mistakenly bringing a penknife to school, he takes note of who the local idiots are in education and law enforcement.

He also votes, and the Angry White Man loathes Hillary Clinton. Her voice reminds him of a shovel scraping a rock. He recoils at the mere sight of her on television. Her very image disgusts him, and he cannot fathom why anyone would want her as their leader. It’s not that she is a woman. It’s that she is who she is. It’s the liberal victim groups she panders to, the “poor me” attitude that she represents, her inability to give a straight answer to an honest question, his tax dollars that she wants to give to people who refuse to do anything for themselves.

There are many millions of Angry White Men. Four million Angry White Men are members of the National Rifle Association, and all of them will vote against Hillary Clinton, just as the great majority of them voted for George Bush.

He hopes that she will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, and he will make sure that she gets beaten like a drum.

I think my signature says it all, and I am an Angry White Male. Although being a white male is a classification not one of superiority. i could care less if you are yellow or green or a hermaphrodite. Just be a productive member of society.

The Angry White Man is my hero and savior

Just for credibility's sake, I got to let the author know that "Russians" are "Slavs". So no need to write "Russian", after already mentioning "Slavic". But he voted for a president who said that they speak Mexican in Mexico, so I will have to forgive him that minor shortcoming

Who really cares?

redguru · 02-15-2008, 05:38 AM

Mexicans speak many different dialects of "Mexican" which are different than Spanish. Just as we speak "American" as Blut Wump would put it. Also, don't group us Poles in with you Slavs.

FiletMignon16oz · 02-15-2008, 05:48 AM

I have to admit I don't know much about Mexican dialects, but the last time I checked, "English" was spoken in the USA not "American," same counts for Spanish in Mexico, plus I am in serious doubt that Bush knows that much about Mexican dialects.

By all means, write him a letter and educate him, he needs it.

Wow, after reading the last sentence, I am sure about one thing, you are American and that's about it. You are not a first, not a second, I allow to guess not even a third generation of a Pole, because no self-respecting Pole would deny that he is Slavic.

Let's take a look, what could a non-Slavic Pole be:

1. A Jew

2. A German

......

redguru · 02-15-2008, 06:00 AM

Being from Krakow, we would be Slavic, we just don't like to be reminded of it. Three of my grandparents were born in Poland.

Nie lubimy Rosjan wielu wiecej niz Niemcy.

Got ya. (tail between my legs)
U don't dig the R nor the G...No doubt you are a Pole

but when all the shameful parts of history are forgotten, remember, we are all "Brati" and share common tribal ancestry

I think for those who have the ability to read more than just words, it was obvious the author was writing tongue-in-cheek at moments and didnt intend on his every word to be taken in the literal sense. Even this angry white male gets that. And my heritage is Irish and Choctaw Indian. If Hillary wins, I will fulfull our stereotypes and drink myself to oblivion.

We speak a local English dialect known as American. Unless of course any of your ex-boyfriends referred to their occupation as Lorry-driver ?

I'll match your drinks in Vodka. It's the cure-all for any ailment. Everyone knows the best Vodkas are Polish.

All I know is that the best women are. My wife was Sobanski when I married her. A quicker tempered woman Ive not met.

solidspine · 02-16-2008, 07:46 AM

I am white but not albino, certainly not angry and I am a member of the NRA,

After 13 months in Viet Nam, I voted for George McGovern in 1972, Nixon in 68,

I think George lost every state except Massachusetts.

But I thought this thread was about Whitey

The most important Whitey in recent memory was Whitey Ford,

New York Yankees 1950 – 1967,

And to all you other albinos, who was Whitey’s Catcher? If you give up I will tell you, maybe you did not have a transistor radio to listen to the games.

Yogi Berra

Baseball was the game back then for all us white guys.
