We supported Chick-Fil-A when Cathy stood up against the liberal Marxists gay manifesto. It’s time to do the same for Clint Eastwwod. When he has a new movie coming out we should all go to see it to pay back his standing up against the evil Left. Sure he may have rambled at times but who wouldn’t at 82?
“Trouble with the Curve” due out in September.
Resonates with me inasmuch as I lost my cool yesterday while defending Palin to a client of mine who mockingly said while discussing politics "well at least you guys have Sarah Palin!"
I asked her what she disliked about Palin and she said "everything you read and hear about her...."
I about exploded when pointing out that the MSM is biased against any political conservative to say the least and I could hardly get her to admit that.
Even though this client of mine loves to hunt and fish she claimed, turns out she was on permanent disability (go figure, this explains her political affiliation: entitlement mentality) and had met with Obama personally to discuss Health insurance.
Turns my stomach. I don't typically discuss politics while on the boat but if somebody brings it up you can bet I'm not going to smile and say anything kind about our enslavers. I say bring it on!
This single act of political performance art, without notes or teleprompter, will have a greater impact in 2012 than the SNL skit of Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin...go ahead, make my day.
Thanks for posting the link - great, great essay. So many good points.
Aye, Matt. The very one.
I haven't heard. What did he do, cut his pubic hair to ridicule the President's last name? Make a movie where he gets assassinated? No? Oh, wait....
Gruffness has a place in this world, as does strong, silent and deep.
Replacing emasculated men with macho, loud women does neither any good, but nature abhors a vacuum.
Over the course of my life, it has really struck me that women now fall into two basic camps: the I-can-do-anything-a-man-can type and even more of a sex toy trophy American stick insect.
I think it’s sad, disconcerting and downright disgusting.
I don’t appreciate Svengalis, either, but the compelling masculinity of a man who knows who he is and what he believes draws others to him as a leader. Men and women alike, unless the women want to BE who he is.
LOL! Not in NYC though. Or............maybe if they want to ignore hizonor mr, bloomberg’s edict about evil guns.
Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.
Excellent take here by the author. The contrast of Eastwood with our emasculated culture is poignant. That the Left is countering with Eva Longoria and Sandra "are your condoms are belong to me" Fluke is telling.
But on your standing and cheering: this sounds like a vigorous, even strenuous activity, and such, should in an abundance of caution be regarded as potentially dangerous. I trust you were wearing a helmet for safety.
Thanks, TM.
w, A Must Read....
Somehow, your post reminds me of the adage about frogs wishing they had wings so they wouldn't bust their ass when they jumped up and then fell back as they tried to fly.
Something about relevancy...context...relationship of comment to original post...
More and More I am thinking Clint Eastwood’s 12 minute talk was a watershed moment. A time when the Emperor was shown to be naked. It was blunt and true. “You got to let him go.” That might have been the abrupt end of Obama. Even if Obama wins—he is gone from power. Yes, it was disrespectful—but it was an earned disrespect. The Truth, as Sam Houston (a great American and Texan) observed, Burns, but burns clean.
I firmly believe that if the hard news media was truly
objective then Obama’s ‘positives’ would be in the low
twenties which reflects the percentage of those who
consider themselves liberal. Unfortunately the education
system in the US provides the basis for the liberal slant
and the news media provides the daily re-enforcement.
E. Merrill Root wrote, "I would ask you again to dream and dare, and thus to ride again the stallion of manhood whose back is known only by those who with a brave heart grasp the mane of life and ride bareback and shouting even in God's thunderstorm."
I don’t have much new to add to what has been said here in this post and the responses that follow, except to join the chorus thanking you for posting this. Fine article about a truly fine moment, a defining moment, from Clint.
He nails it: The liberals think we are supposed to love Communism and cheer for it, but, instead, we denounce it and that scares them. Men must stand and never cower. I didn’t lose my firearms in a boating accident, they’re right here, right next to my voter registration card!
There is supposed to be a new Eastwood movie, one about a minor league baseball owner’s daugther taking over ownership of the team coming out soon.
“There was a time when men were afraid that somebody would reveal some secret of theirs that was unknown to their fellows. Nowadays they’re afraid that somebody will name what everybody knows.” Ayn Rand
You’re correct. Here’s what I posted yesterday on the media and academia:

my friend calls his a murse short for man-purse and you are right about that.
A month ago there was major unrest in the downtown area adjacent to where he worked and even though handguns are banned in this city he decided to arm himself.
Nothing developed and after a week the danger was over so he carried on with his life.
Standing in line at the main Federal bank in downtown and next in line at the teller, he reached inside to remove his deposit slip only to discover his fully loaded and cocked, locked and ready-to-rock handgun - he said he came out of that bank looking like Moses coming down from the mountain.
