I saw two amazing women speak this week about mistakes that men don’t make. They presented eight ways that women sabotage their own credibility and results in their business and personal lives. Here’s the short list: 1. Seeking Validation 2. Hoping for the Best 3. Avoiding Confrontation 4. Resisting Duality (this one’s very interesting….) 5. Blending In 6. Diminishing 7. Making It Personal 8. Taking It Personal

It has been said that director Howard Hawks made Rio Bravo (1959) as a reaction to two popular westerns which angered him - High Noon (1952) and 3:10 to Yuma (1957). His comment on the former was, "I didn't think a good sheriff was going to go running around town like a chicken with his head off asking for help, and finally his Quaker wife had to save him." Hawks also considered 3:10 to Yuma, which had outlaw Glenn Ford playing psychological games with lawman Van Heflin, "a lot of nonsense." So Rio Bravo was the director's take on heroism...

The Speech Given somewhere in England on June 5th, 1944 "Be seated." Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self-respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real...

What is the measure of a man? Faithfulness and strength... peace in the face of adversity... Joy when there seems to be no good reason. A man's worth is not in what he has or does but in the treasures that lie in his spirit. Not in the friends he chooses, but in the friend he is. Too few men possess anything more than a head of stone and a heart of mush. Too many believe in everything, or nothing at the cost of all. They are: Too often unaccountable… Too blissfully irresponsible… Too utterly inconsistent… What is the measure...

I drive past several churches on my way into the office each day. It's encouraging to see such a frequent reminder of God's visible Kingdom on a regular basis. This morning, however, I saw a sign for one of these churches that frustrated me. The sign at this prominent Baptist church read,"Wonderful Wednesdays" with Dr. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Wonderful Wednesdays? Please. That's the type of stuff that's guaranteed to keep any hairy, red-blooded, NASCAR loving man from ever darkening the door of a church. In fact, it's just one of many reasons why most...

BE HERE, OR BE NOWHERE!

The latest point of emphasis in the global warming movement is that cattle farming endangers the planet by producing too much methane. So now, steaks and hamburgers are classified as instruments of destruction, along with large vehicles, lawn mowers, and charcoal grills. It can't be much longer before cowboy movies, cigars and hockey are held to be enemies of the earth as well. This has got to be the most blatant assault on guyhood since ABC moved Coach to the same night as Roseanne, and turned Hayden Fox into Phil Donahue. It's a wonder that liberals don't cut to the...

Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails are what readers of a surprise bestseller are made of. The Dangerous Book for Boys by the British brothers Conn and Hal Iggulden is a practical manual that returns boys to the wonder and almost lost world of tree houses and pirate flags. It celebrates the art of teaching an old mutt new tricks and accepts skinned knees as an acceptable risk for running through fields with the same dog yapping along. As of July 3, The Dangerous Book is the number one seller on Amazon UK and it is holding steady at...

Suspected Insurgents Detained in Iraq Weapons Caches Found March 15, 2006 American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON – U.S. soldiers and Iraqi security forces in recent days have continued to detain suspected insurgents and to find and destroy weapons caches, military officials reported. * Soldiers from the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, and Iraqi security forces in the last two days detained several insurgents and confiscated materials useful in building roadside bombs. * Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, and Iraqi police searched a house and found more than 300 false identification cards, including Iraqi police IDs. During...

The latest poll is not good for the Democrats. I am not talking here of the one showing George Bush's approval rating inching up. I'm talking about the recently released Harris Poll showing John Wayne, one of the most popular movie stars of 2005. The one thing he and the Democratic Party have in common is that they are both dead. Wayne was the quintessential anti-Democrat. Everything he stood for - from support for the Vietnam War to antipathy to the '60s and '70s counterculture - was in consonance with GOP positions. More important, though, his iconic man-on-horseback image has...

Men Should Join Attorney General Ashcroft and Pledge to Defeat Domestic Violence By Kevin Fobbs July 15, 2004 "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke. On June 9, 2004, Paulette Litzan of Sterling Heights, Michigan, had all of her dreams, all of her expectations of life, all of the abuse she had endured from her ex-boyfriend Harry D. Stanley come to an end with a single shot to her head. What news accounts don't record is the terror Paulette and thousands of women like her in Metro Detroit endure as...

Retrosexuals: A New Kind of Man by The Idea Man May 4, 2004 Please allow me to vent. I have had it! I've taken all I can stand and I can't stand no more! Every time my TV is on, all that can be seen is effeminate men prancing about, redecorating houses and talking about foreign concepts like "style" and "feng shui." Heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, transsexual, metrosexual, non-sexual; blue, green, and purple-sexual -- bogus definitions have taken over the urban and suburban world! Real men of the world, stand up, scratch, belch, and yell "ENOUGH!" I hereby announce the start...

A real man’s sausage fry This is not for the faint hearted or politically correct. Take half an onion and slice it thin. Also take several garlic cloves and smash them. Put the onion and garlic in a pan and cook it up with some butter or oil. better yet use lard! Add some pieces of bacon and or salt pork and cook everything until the onions start to brown and the bacon gets crispy. When the pan starts to take some color add about a cup of un drained sauerkraut, some salt and pepper, caraway seeds, thyme, some chopped...

Wonder no more what gets the good ol' boys' juices flowing, and don't pay no never mind to them talking heads on this particular question. The answer is simply this: real men taking charge, talking straight, telling truth, and leaving the girlie men to fuss about the nuances of terrorist sensitivity. Miller's fiery, brimstone-studded speech on the penultimate night of the Republican convention was a quintessential testosterone moment that got professional harrumphers flustered and swing voters inspired. While pundits wondered whether Zell was over the top, too hot or too tough, Heartland Americans (and not a few journalists who shall...

"Ferocious is the term presidential candidates should fix in their minds when they hear the term “Security Moms.” Because inside the most gentle, peace-loving, apple-pie baking mommy is a snarling Rottweiler who will kill to keep her babies safe. Pre-September 11, this willingness to kill for our kids was an instinct the average American mom understood only in abstraction; today’s mother feels it in her gut. Every time she sees the televised faces of those deck-of-cards terrorists, she wants to play 52-card pickup with their corpses... What qualities do security moms look for in a leader to guide us through...

<p>Many years ago Chris Matthews--now famous on TV--hit on an interesting formulation: He said the Democrats were the "mommy party" and the Republicans the "daddy party." That is, the Democrats were "nurturers," concerned with health policy and day care. The Republicans were "protectors," taking care of national security and other manly matters. This notion is obviously galling to some. But Mr. Matthews was on to something, and we now find ourselves in a "daddy party" time.</p>

"Real Men: They're Back" proclaims The American Enterprise magazine in its September issue. The firefighter, policeman, fighter pilot and even the spy enjoy renewed respect in a nation that has rediscovered danger and finds that heroes are not all "anti." All well and good. But when it comes to defining what "manliness" is, watch out. The spirit of feminism still stalks the land, casting withering spells on any sprouts of traditional masculinity that push green shoots through the earth. The contributors to the "Real Men" issue are not brutes (well, I should hope not, since I'm one). Amid the paeans...
