The World Needs More Cowboys. This proposed new slogan for the University of Wyoming was meant to be inclusive, by design, according to the marketing campaign flier that was obtained by The Chronicle of Higher Education. This is not a campaign to reinforce regressive stereotypes of Cowboys from the pop-cultural past, the flier states. This is a campaign to rewrite them. The flier goes on to explain how this campaign is an opportunity to celebrate people in every corner because Cowboys come in every sex, shape, color and creed at the University of Wyoming.

It makes sense. After all, what is more American than cowboys? They’ll be after rock and roll soon enough. Pretty American. We know they are after hamburgers and such. They are well on their way to destroying American football. Baseball will be next.
Anything American must be destroyed.

How very dull life would be to view the world with no color, no gender, and no shape. To be blinded to these is the visual equivalent of all foods being reduced to the blandness of plain oatmeal. How depressing for the tongue; where the next bite is an uninteresting as the last, day after day, every day. No wonder the snowflakes are all so constantly angry and bitter. They've eliminated all meaning and pleasure from their own beings. Sad creatures, really.

Question:
There is a smoking hot girl at the University of Wyoming campus. Who do you think she will date?
1. A six foot lean and mean cowboy that treats a lady like a lady and drives a Ram Quad 4 Pickup. He also hunts and loves firearms. He hikes the mountains when he can. He can live off the land. He walks down a dark street not in fear because he is armed.
2. A wimpy metro sexual of confused sexual identity and a bag full of neuroses driving a Prius. He does not hunt, he breaks out in fear at the sight of a weapon. Mountains and wilderness scare him. He lives out of a Safeway store. He avoids dark streets in abject fear.

An important attribute of Cowboy is self-sufficient, independent compentency.
You mean they don't form a committee, take a poll and apply for a government grant and sit back and "see which way the wind blows"
Tsk, tsk, tsk
Can't have THAT on Today's Modern Campuses.

That's the world these Leftist Malcontents are making for themselves. Every instition, every political forum, heck every joke must be scrutinized(and sanitized) "for our protection".
I didn't always agree with his act, even hated parts of it but George Carlin was damned funny. He would have a thing or two to say about these people
Heck he could make his whole act on this topic alone and get rich(er)

So true. I feel the same way about George Carlin as you. I often found him unimpressive from a God-fearing capital-c constitutionalist conservative perspective. But he was so very insightful and funny. There was truth in much of his humor. I do hope he made it safely home to brighten our days on the other side.

Already 40 years ago Waylon and Willie were telling mothers not to let their children go to the University of Wyoming: “Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Cowboys.”
To: Verginius Rufus
Waylon is dead, Willie is ailing and I don’t feel too good myself.
America is on life support. If it weren’t for the election of Mr Trump, she’d be lowered into the grave.
And the sage advice still rings true...

Judging from Carlin’s act, which is always dicey because it is an “act” he is not enjoying the afterlife.
However he is definitely keeping the Devil entertained with his “pointed” humour
