Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri traveled all the way from Washington D.C. to Orlando, Florida, to tell the National Conservatism Conference that “Observers from the ancient Romans to our forefathers identified the manly virtues as indispensable for political liberty.” But “The Left,” as Hawley put it, “want to define traditional masculinity as toxic. They want to define the traditional masculine virtues—things like courage, and independence, and assertiveness—as a danger to society.”
Out here on the prairie, where men are men and most have at least a couple of guns and a heavy duty pickup truck and a thin blue line flag, I look around and see something different. I see obesity, heavy drinking, diabetes, heart disease . . . Cognitive dissonance.
First of all, little boy mentality in adult person’s body. Second, the more he WHINES about attacks on masculinity, the further he gets from achieving manhood. This language is obviously pointed to a very specific segment of the population.
I’ll listen to Hawley on masculinity right after I finish Louie Gohmert’s commentary on Wittgenstein’s later works. Please. Also, the closest thing America has to a “left”, at least since Koufax retired, is the 1956 Republican Party platform (remember when they had platforms?).
My first question needs to be, that's his MOS. This is a guy who was practically voiding himself in his pants with the need to fight for his benevolent Republic? When did you serve and with whom? They wouldn't last a day in an Army infantry company, back when I was wearing green, or in today's high-tech, high-powered, and highly motivated Army in which both men and women work in combat and combat support roles, and with everybody pulling their weight. Josh Hawley is a fraud, along with his doofus hangers on their Sturm Abteilung wannabe alternate reality Carnival costumes. He's a wimp and a pussy tricked out in chammies who can't meet the threshold of fantasy of the Village People. Hawley's bully-boy acolytes are bunch of street thugs, plain and simple. There is a lot of apologia out there by those who ought to know better.
Oh to be a fly on the wall at the Hawley family Thanksgiving when his mother/aunt/sister…any female in the room…take Joshy on. Oh but it’s probably as the Trump Family non-Singers: all the women are Stepford wives and not speaking out. Damn.
I call him "Joshy" when I write to him since unfortunately he is one of the "senators" (I use the term advisedly) from MO. I suggested after January 6th that the pic of him pretending to be a member of the 1968 Olympics team (so funny that he used a Black Power salute!) would be more accurate if he were depicted holding a plunger. One of the fabulous people on the HCR community feed sent the edited pic to me, which I then edited further with a caption, "S***heads of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your latrines!" (she gave me permission to share). Unfortunately, Substack is stupid about sharing images.
Remember when Theodore Roosevelt and others were pushing "muscular Christianity" as an antidote to women taking over the churches? (Well, why not? We couldn't vote, so we had to do *something*. And no, fwiw, I was not around then.) On the whole, though, I'm somewhat grateful to Hawley for reminding the world that his movement is not only about *white* supremacy, it's about *male* supremacy.
This is hilarious. Republiscum are noteworthy for many things, but projection certainly tops the list. I'd call him out for being the whiney little Karen that he is, but that would be an insult to burly Karens everywhere who are busy attacking display racks at WalMart. He's too busy waving his impotent fist and crying over his lost "manhood." Waah waah waah. I'll bet Claire is getting a good laugh out of this...all the way to the bank.
Mr. Hawley espouses a boy's idea of a man.
All that expensive education, and this is the best he can do. His karma deficit increaseth exponentially.

Ahh! I found how to comment on this article!
As I said in my reply email, Hawley is full of ‘Hawse’ poop! I’m keeping it clean.

It would appear…
‘That the lad has a great deal of fear and uncertainty relative to masculinity and is obsessed with fisting.
Not surprising; ‘considering he’s coming from a gene pool, about as deep as a bird bath.
‘No disrespect…

Reading this piece was well worth the time it took me away from playing video games.
So, the new saviors are the Gravy Seals and young mister Rittenhouse?
Feel safer?

I just read that a group of turkeys is called a posse. So…GOP must stand for a “grand ol’ posse.” Works for me…

Maybe Haley gets Testosterone shots to make up for a deficit of general virtuous behavior. Such a bizarre dude. It is worth reading and forwarding...
