Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?

Please excuse the language of this post. Now considering the subject matter you’ll find it ironic that I am apologizing upfront for some of the rather harsh language that follows, but hey! My mother may be watching.Tough guys!! The kind who are gentleman enough to hold a door open for a woman and man enough to break the nose of the silly sod who crosses her. Those guys who were once staples of major motion pictures: Sean Connery, Humphrey Boggart, John Wayne, to name a few. Today however men are vilified for being tough. We are expected to be sensitive, to open-up and to get in touch with our inner child. In short, men have been completely feminized. This is the once proud culture that prompted singer Paula Cole to ask, “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?”

Well, take heart Paula, for there are still a few notable exceptions, including yours truly.

Clint Eastwood comes to mind. During a recent interview with Letterman, Eastwood wondered aloud when America became “a pu**y society.” And famed Cleveland Browns fullback, Jim Brown recently laid into Leftists in a January interview with Esquire Magazine noting, “A liberal is arrogant enough to think he can do you a half-assed favour. He is superior enough to think he can give you something that you don’t deserve. A liberal will cut off your leg so he can hand you a crutch.” Yes, these are among the few remaining public Tough Guys. But why are there so few?

As far as I can tell, we're being eclipsed by the Tough Girls. I know many women who admit that while the love the fact that men are not always boorish, coarse and just plain gross, they miss real men. So failing to find them in sufficient quantity, these Girls are starting to take up the slack. And I’m not talking about the flannel-shirt-wearing, butch-cut sporting, comfortable shoes, type Girls. No, I’m talking real women who want an America filled with real men.

Ann Coulter is one example. One of my favourite Tough Girl commentators and authors whose current book Guilty is causing a state of extreme apoplexy on the political Left. She dares criticise the “victicrat” mentality that so permeates American culture. What a horribly mean Girl!! And don't get me started on Michelle Malkin. I could write volumes on these Girls.

But there’s an up-and-coming Tough Girl who is poised to become the veritable Joan of Ark of modern America. Her name: Pia Varma. This young, fiery, passionate Los Angeles native is making waves in West Coast political circles that will soon be cresting on the Potomac. She’s fighting to bust the balls of the current GOP leadership and force the nancy-boys on the Left, to cry “uncle!”. Pia recently launched PiaVarma.com coupled with the LaissezFaireLounge.com and I have it on good authority that you are in for a wild and wicked ride. With the intellectual verve of Ayn Rand and the tough-as-nails attitude of Margaret Thatcher, Varma will be a force to be reckoned with.

There may not be many Tough Guys left out there but these Tough Girls and their ilk (and the list is growing) will listen with sensitivity as you open-up and when the moment is right, they’ll find your inner child and kick its little ass.

Here’s to the Tough Girls.
