Woman Impersonating Male Person

Among the egregious legacies of the feminist movement is the current Democratic Party. Do you think that Harry Truman would recognize the feminized liberals who populate the leadership of the Leftover Party? Rush calls them WIMPS (Woman Impersonating Male Persons).

Take John Kerry (PLEASE!!) The Senator, cutting short his hobnobbing in Davos, Switzerland with the World Economic Forum elites, parachuted into the Senate chamber today in order to whine about Sam Alito. In his deepest manly voice Kerry declared, "I reject those notions that there ought to somehow be some political calculus about the future. … The choice is now." Senate Democrats scratched then shook their heads. Huh?

The Red-Blue divide of the culture war permeates every aspect of our lives, even the trivialities. Speaking of which, take a look at the recent Harris Poll of movie star preferences. The favorite star among men is John Wayne, and among conservatives it is Wayne again in a tie with Tom Hanks. Women like Hanks best. And liberals: Johnny Depp.

Let’s see: John Wayne vs. Johnny Depp…

As the liberal columnist Richard Cohen wrote in the Washington Post, “The Duke is Still King.” And the only thing John Wayne has in common with the Democratic Party is that “both are DEAD.”

Red Republicans win large majorities among men, married women and conservatives… and John Wayne fans. Blue Democrats win among single women, minorities and liberals…. and Johnny Depp fans. More encouraging news for Republicans is that political moderates like Tom Hanks best, not Johnny Depp.

John Wayne was the quintessential anti-Democrat cowboy, Ronald Reagan was a cowboy with a subscription to the National Review and George Bush is a cowboy ball player. John McCain is waiting in the wings with youngsters like George Allen and Mitt Romney, cowboys all.

And the Democrats “manly men:” Algore, “Christmas in Cambodia” Kerry, Harry Reed, Barack Obama, …. Hillary Clinton may be the toughest. How pathetic!

The humongous and hugely loyal “24” audience is a prototype of the Republican cowboy image. When Jack Bauer captured the terrorist who killed President Palmer, he interrogated the killer… and then SHOT him. Jack Bauer is a take-no-prisoners patriot who puts love of country and loyalty to friends first, and fights by his own rules. To Jack Bauer, the only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

Meanwhile Democrats whine about federal intercept of phone conversations between al Qaida enemies overseas and their agents in America. Pat Buchanan recently described the hypocrisy in a Real Clear Politics article.

President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and blockaded Southern ports, without congressional authorization. President Wilson locked up Eugene V. Debs in World War I and never let him out. FDR interned 110,000 Japanese and Japanese-Americans in relocation camps, in a wartime act of racial profiling approved by the Supreme Court. Truman dropped atom bombs on defenseless cities, killing 100,000 women and children. Yet all are judged by liberal historians to be great or near-great presidents.

What would Democrats do if Jack Bauer was real? They’d try to put him in jail with “Dirty Harry” and the “Duke.”

The WIMPS.
