Important Stuff -- Or Not: My Favorite Song

My Favorite Song

(sung by Rex Allen Jr.) The last of the silver screen cowboys, The last of a fast-dying breed, Cattle a-grazin, Six guns a-blazin, God knows, this is what America still needs. The last of the silver screen cowboys, Standing tall for what he believes is right, Don't push him around, Cause more than one villain's found, That he don't back down from a fight. Roy and Trigger, we loved you, And Hoppy, we saved up our dimes, For the Saturday double-feature, And we sat through both movies two times. Gene, Lash and Rex were our heroes, We knew good would win in the end, If we could just turn back the pages, And ride those old trails once again. (Sung by Rex Allen) The last of the silver screen cowboys, We settled the score with our fists, Oh, we loved little babies, Treated women like ladies, And it was only our horse, That we kissed. (Sung by Roy Rogers) Then the time slipped away 'for we knew it. And you little wranglers put up your playguns and your toys. But memories don't die, And we're still riding high, (All together) We're the last of the silver screen cowboys.

End of song. How I pity you liberals for not receiving the upbringing that I received. What shallow humans you must be. You will never understand concepts like honor and integrity and courage. You will never have the willingness to sacrifice yourself for the betterment of others. You will never believe there is anything worth fighting for. You will be forever cowards. Pity.

Trader Rick said...: I was a Hoppy Kid--Hoppy guns, Hoppy comic books, Hoppy breadspread and hoppy rug in my room. America was a different place in those days...In some ways not as good as today, but in a lot of ways, a much better place to bring up a kid than today. Oh, well.; 7:36 AM
Lone Ranger said...: I'm STILL a Hoppy kid. I have about a hundred radio episodes on CD and 35 movies on DVD.

If you haven't already done so, you should read the Hopalong Cassidy novels written by Clarence E. Mulford and Louis L'Amour.

When I was a kid, I was a bit of a mutant cowboy. I wore Roy Rogers clothing, carried a mare's laig (Wanted Dead or Alive) at my side and a derringer under my belt buckle (Have Gun, Will Travel). Can you imagine kids these days walking around so heavily armed? Well they do, but with real guns.

One of the left's greatest successes is the sissyfication of this country.; 7:30 PM
DAKOTARANGER said...: That's why all my heroes(but my Dad) have been cowboys.

But I guess being a man of God kinda puts you in the same line as Roy Rogers; 11:28 PM
Trader Rick said...: I REALLY admired Roy Rogers and Dale, but revisiting the movies recently I came across a somewhat disturbing theme: In several of his films, in his capacity as a law enforcemnt official, he blatently declared that he didn't "need a search warrant" with no further explanation.... I found this curious.; 7:27 AM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

10. Children are not stupid. If a child is taught, the child will learn. If a child is not learning, the child is not being taught.

29. Reading Democratic Party platforms is like reading the history of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity in this country.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
