Gary Hubbell
February 9, 2008
There is a great amount of interest in this year’s presidential elections, as everybody seems to recognize that our next president has to be a lot better than George Bush. The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates — a woman and an African-American — while the conservative Republicans are in a quandary about their party’s nod to a quasi-liberal maverick, John McCain.
Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special-interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians.
There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man. The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard.
His common traits are that he isn’t looking for anything from anyone — just the promise to be able to make his own way on a level playing field. In many cases, he is an independent businessman and employs several people. He pays more than his share of taxes and works hard.
The victimhood syndrome buzzwords — “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” — don’t resonate with him. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him. He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the company Christmas party, three sets of braces, three college educations or a beautiful wedding.
He believes the Constitution is to be interpreted literally, not as a “living document” open to the whims and vagaries of a panel of judges who have never worked an honest day in their lives.
The Angry White Man owns firearms, and he’s willing to pick up a gun to defend his home and his country. He is willing to lay down his life to defend the freedom and safety of others, and the thought of killing someone who needs killing really doesn’t bother him.
The Angry White Man is not a metrosexual, a homosexual or a victim. Nobody like him drowned in Hurricane Katrina — he got his people together and got the hell out, then went back in to rescue those too helpless and stupid to help themselves, often as a police officer, a National Guard soldier or a volunteer firefighter.
His last name and religion don’t matter. His background might be Italian, English, Polish, German, Slavic, Irish, or Russian, and he might have Cherokee, Mexican, or Puerto Rican mixed in, but he considers himself a white American.
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 ****ed 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.How does this make you feel ? ';ANGRY WHITE MAN'; ?
Sounds like my man! He is the kindest gentlest man you will meet. Yet drive him over the edge and you will get what you deserve.
For idiot that says the BS about the KKK he is not. He married me and I am NOT a ';white'; woman.How does this make you feel ? ';ANGRY WHITE MAN'; ?
so the best comment (that he chose) is a comment by his wife.. hehehe
Report Abuse
oh man... can't believe I read that entire thing.
I kept waiting for the punch line, or at least a ';then the angry white man got a vasectomy, the end';
The scary thing is you sound pretty sharp, in a religious nut sorta way. Righteous anger? yikes.
was this even a question? oh, how do I feel? well, disappointed- you could have tried to sound a bit more bigoted.
I will drive that darling man to the polls to vote against whichever pansy candidate the Democrats nominate and buy him a big steak dinner afterwards.
God bless him and every one like him!!!
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.
i agree 100% i couldn't have said it better my self
ms weed sounds like you need an angry white man to show you what life is all about
RAH!
Amen!
.... ms. weed.....he done stated that there are angry white men in Iraq because they ARE NOT afraid to fight for their rights.
I'm pretty sure the majority of the ';Angry White Men'; you described are Republicans.
I agree the democrats are going to need the white men they turned their back on one day
';He also votes, and the Angry White Man loathes Hillary Clinton. Her voice reminds him of a shovel scraping a rock. ';
Hahaha 'freakin hilarious.
Edit:
';There are many millions of Angry White Men. Four million Angry White Men are members of the National Rifle Association';
Again, hilarious. Also disturbing.
If you people aren't going to read it, don't comment on it. That is so annoying!
Solidly on the mark.
Because he is not alone in his loathing of ';politics';, McCain has already won.
It doesn't matter if it is Hillary or Obama, it's already over.
Go ahead and count votes. McCain will only have to weigh his.
Sounds like me.
that is a great article and people will pay attention to it AFTER McCain is elected.
Men don't whine.
--Thanks for the thumbs down angry whiners.
Eh, not reading through all this.
What a whiny, dated-sounding load of homophobic BS.
NEXT!
Is Gary Hubbell the newest Imperial Wizard of the KKK?
Geez!I don't know where to start ! You are definitely a Right Winger which are angry most of the time because they are more worried about the parts of society that is different from them. Lets do a Political balance sheet and see what the results would be!!Not pretty at all and the worst may yet to come. People like you need to quit crying about liberals and focus on getting this country back from corporatists which most are Republicans, it could also be defined as Fascism. Change is in the air because of the incompetence we have witnessed in the last 7 years! I am a former Republican and because of this lunacy will note cast a vote for one for a long time to come. Im done with all of the deceit and financial mess. Wake up man take responsibility and recognize other issues we face that you seemed to forget such as massive debt, devaluation of the Dollar, neverending depletion of our military people and resources, escalation of basic needs costs like we have never seen in this country! of course you forgot to mention those things cause your boys are and have been in control for a very long time.Do your home work and quit reading the script sent to you in the mail!
The angry white man is probably angry because he knows he has become a dinosaur.
Wake up, Angry White Man!
Listen to your Waylon Jennings and Toby Kieth, but realize there are other, newer artists and ideas out there.
Read a book once in a while.
Heck, be adventurous!
Actually listen to what someone who you have already decided is wrong and is full of s^^t has to say.
Oh, and by the way, that emotional wife of yours? She is playing you like a harmonica.
She knows who is really in charge (hint, she's not you)!
