He’s a man’s man, the kind of guy who likes to play poker, watch
football, hunt white-tailed deer, call turkeys, play golf, spend a
few bucks at a strip club once in a blue moon, change his own oil
and build things. He coaches baseball, soccer and football teams and
doesn’t ask for a penny. He’s the kind of guy who can put an
addition on his house with a couple of friends, drill an oil well,
weld a new bumper for his truck, design a factory and publish books.
He can fill a train with 100,000 tons of coal and get it to the
power plant on time so that you keep the lights on and never know
what it took to flip that light switch.
Women either love him or hate him, but they know he’s a man, not a
dishrag. If they’re looking for someone to walk all over, they’ve
got the wrong guy. He stands up straight, opens doors for women and
says “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am.”
He might be a Republican and he might be a Democrat; he might be a
Libertarian or a Green. He knows that his wife is more emotional
than rational, and he guides the family in a rational manner.
He’s not a racist, but he is annoyed and disappointed when people of
certain backgrounds exhibit behavior that typifies the worst
stereotypes of their race. He’s willing to give everybody a fair
chance if they work hard, play by the rules and learn English.
Most important, the Angry White Man is pissed off. When his job site
becomes flooded with illegal workers who don’t pay taxes and his
wages drop like a stone, he gets righteously angry. When his job
gets shipped overseas, and he has to speak to some incomprehensible
idiot in India for tech support, he simmers. When Al Sharpton comes
on TV, leading some rally for reparations for slavery or some such
nonsense, he bites his tongue and he remembers. When a child gets
charged with carrying a concealed weapon for mistakenly bringing a
penknife to school, he takes note of who the local idiots are in
education and law enforcement.
He also votes, and the Angry White Man loathes Hillary Clinton. Her
voice reminds him of a shovel scraping a rock. He recoils at the
mere sight of her on television. Her very image disgusts him, and he
cannot fathom why anyone would want her as their leader. It’s not
that she is a woman. It’s that she is who she is. It’s the liberal
victim groups she panders to, the “poor me” attitude that she
represents, her inability to give a straight answer to an honest
question, his tax dollars that she wants to give to people who
refuse to do anything for themselves.
There are many millions of Angry White Men. Four million Angry White
Men are members of the National Rifle Association, and all of them
will vote against Hillary Clinton, just as the great majority of
them voted for George Bush.
He hopes that she will be the Democratic nominee for president in
2008, and he will make sure that she gets beaten like a drum.
