Real
cowboys are rare.
I grew up trailing cows on the family ranch
in northern Wyoming, but academics steered me to a
career peripheral to the cow business.
Today, I am all hat and no cows.
My older
brother stayed on the ranch and lives the life city
folk dream about, or used to because who knows what
motivates today’s social justice snowflakers.
God, guns, guts—faith, family, freedom—duty,
honor, country perfectly describe the soul of the
rugged individualist feeding his family from the
back of a horse.
A cowboy’s life is harsh, but rewarding and
every spring, there are baby calves who owe their
lives to the caring man with the bread wrappers in
his overshoes.
I hold real cowboys in high esteem and here
is why I mention this.
On a recent trip to Billings, a gray Dodge
pickup passed me and along with the driver’s side
“Trump” sticker was a passenger side one reading
“Real Cowboys Vote Republican.”
I chuckled, while pondering his point.
At day’s end, I decided the ruling class has
so changed the idea called America, I could not
wholeheartedly agree with his off-side bumper
sticker.
This brings me to my point.
Marxist ideology has completely kidnapped the
Democrat Party—this is an absolute.
From Senator
Bernie Sander’s recent call of Medicare for all to
Universal Basic Income to controlling hurricanes and
earthquakes through tax policy, every collectivist
proposal empowers the ruling class at the expense of
the unwashed.
How is this not obvious?
There was a time when Republicans were the
knights in shining armor opposing the socialist
progressives. However,
contradicting the “Real Cowboys Vote Republican”
bumper sticker, this blanket statement is no longer
true.
Far too many cocktail-caucus, establishment
Republicans jumped into the swamp of compromise and
are frolicking in the mud with the Democrats; the
Graham-Cassidy amendment to Obamacare being the
perfect example.
Graham-Cassidy removes the individual and
employer mandates, which is the bait, but here is
the switch.
This proposal keeps all Affordable Care Act
taxes in place with the ruling class block granting
funds back to the states to address healthcare
concerns.
As with highway trust funds, states will then
be required to behave as the king demands or the
money disappears.
Supporting Graham-Cassidy requires citizens
to believe that regulating healthcare is a proper
function of government, when it is not!
Obamacare must be repealed and real cowboys
should vote real Republicans because America is in
real trouble.
Really.
