Why Do Conservatives Love Cowboy Culture?

THIS is what you get when you're a cowboy!

I don't care for country music, and I don't think I've ever worn a cowboy hat.

But I would support the least of them over the greatest Democrat.

What so wrong with cowboy culture anyway? I always associate it with really hearty outdoor cooking.

I once heard an old cowboy expression I love: "The person most likely to cause you trouble watches you shave your face in the morning."

Why does anyone like any culture? There is no objective measure of superiority when it comes to what someone appreciates.

 

[DrLove]

it's a longing for a return to the wild wild west - Little House on the Prairie - Old timey family values, Guns-n-God ....

And a hangin' shuriff!

Nice list.

But that description doesn't fit any of the conservatives in Congress, the White House, or the Supreme Court. Not by a long shot.

Or any liberals. Maybe we need a lot of cowboys in office.

I can't say I love cowboy culture, but while in college in Montana I watched my roommate get on and ride a 1400lb pissed off animal. Maybe not the brightest thing to do but he certainly had a pair.

Why Do Conservatives Love Cowboy Culture?

I've often wondered this. Conservatives have this unhealthy list for being a cowboy like nothing else. They seem to think that if a white male conservative wears a cowboy hat and blares country music, that it's somehow the greatest thing since sliced bread. I mean shit, their favorite professional football team is called The Cowboys!

Is that why they have such an unwavering desire to take us back to those times? Got to tell you, from everything I've ever seen and read, those times weren't that great.

For the same reason liberals love watching an endless loop of Three Stooges movies.

 

[my2¢]

My answer is Hollywood. I would imagine when movies first began to be produced the thinking was if it was on film, then it had to be true.

"A Few More Cowboys"

If the White House was in Texas, man
We'd get a straighter answer
If they'd let us smoke what we want
We'd have a lot less cancer

There'd be a bunch more daddies
Sons could be proud of
We'd have half the crime
We'd have twice the fun

With a few more cowboys
Be a lot less outlaws
With a few more amens
Be a lot less bad calls
With a few more yes Ma'ams
And a lot less yes men
This world would be a better place to live in
With a few more cowboys

If we did it with a handshake
We'd save a lot of paper
That'd save a lot of trees
We're shipping overseas to make her

If we stood by our word
Took care of our own
Bought it made in the USA
We'd keep it here at home

With a few more cowboys
Be a lot less outlaws
With a few more amens
Be a lot less bad calls
With a few more yes Ma'ams
And a lot less yes men
This world would be a better place to live in
With a few more cowboys

If we had a little more grit
Less politics, more fist fighting
Met 'em at high noon
Hell, it's about high time
We looked 'em in the eye
Got our head out of the sand
Hit 'em with a big John Wayne
By God, they'd understand

With a few more cowboys
Be a lot less outlaws
With a few more amens
Be a lot less bad calls
With a few more yes Ma'ams
And a lot less yes men
This world would be a better place to live in
With a few more cowboys

All in all we'd have a better world
With a few more cowboys
We'd have a few more cowboys
With a few more cowboys

I guess the "cowboy culture"
represents living off the land
instead of living off the gubment?

You mean like running cattle on government range?

Because they love the Village People.

What a laugh.

 

[cnm]

So, looks like the answer is they want to pretend they're Hondo.

I should have added, 'while screwing the fragile eco-system of marginal land.'

Wow! You really DON'T know what the fuck you're talking about, do you?
