From childhood,
my image of Texas men has always been linked to the Cowboy. Men who drove cattle through Indian territory;
braved attacks from rustlers; forded dangerous rivers; road out deadly stampedes
– men who lived rough, worked hard and partied hard when the drive was
over.
You wouldn’t
disrespect these men. You would never
insult their wives or disparage their fathers or insult them to their face
without expecting immediate payback: a fist fight or a gun fight.
I guess
Texas men have changed. It seems they
are willing to vote for a yellow, sniveling coward: A man that Donald Trump
called to his face - Lying Ted; insulted his wife insinuating she was ugly; lied about his father calling him a terrorist involved in the assassination of a
President. And yet, a man who is willing to drop
to his knees anytime Donald Trump reaches for his zipper.
It seems the
new Texas man standard must be: you can
spit in my face, disrespect my wife, disparage my father and I will still kiss
your ass as long as you let me keep my job... and I'm just fine voting for a man like that.
What
happened to the Cowboys?
