Check this out. It may be a repeat, but it's along the same theme.
Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Bozeman, Montana, awaiting their flights.
One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer.
Another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show
and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly
arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East.
Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.
The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.
Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."
The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"
The cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl, ..............................................
"That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet,
but I do believe it's a-comin'."
"Picture of GWB in a Cowboy Hat"
My hero's have always been cowboys.
Now .... another cowboy. Ronaldus Magnus.
Whining liberals should learn the lingo of cowboys and cowgirls "where seldom is heard a discouraging word."
.........or the Nantucket windsurfer?
And I am glad damned he is too.... I am also glad you wrote this excellent piece.
Our President is a cowboy's cowboy!
I LOVE this photo of our Prez. This is a REAL man!! Mind if I save it?? I'd like to put this on a tshirt.
You think he works cattle NOW?
Here is the other cow boy in the whitehouse

Cowboys are the best! My cowboy is on his way home from the ranch right now. He just called me on his cell phone to tell me. (He is a thoroughly modern cowboy.) ;9)
Yes Snugs...the gentleman from Wyoming!
Yeah, I guess you're right, he's not a cowboy, he's a cattleman.
Best Test of a True Leader is who he picks to be #2
Dick Cheney is the Man, Fly Fishing and Leadership!
Yup. My heroes have always been cowboys...
but you forgot the quote from Die Hard, when the terrorist ridiculed the Bruce willis character, and he answered;
YIPPIE KAY YAY m....F......
And don't forget this post

If you figure out how to get that photo onto a T-shirt, send me a message about where I can get one also! I DO love that particular photo of our guy clearing brush on his ranch. I had the photo of the French-looking Nantucket windwurfer for a few days, but deleted it. Now, I kinda wish I hadn't, because it would make such a great contrast, side-by-side with our no-nonsense cowboy. The windsurfer's trendy suit cost $500.00. What our "W" is wearing probably ran him somewhere under $100 for the jeans and shirt. Nevermind the hat. It's probably a family heirloom. Dubya doesn't check with his parisian "couturier" before heading into the brush.
