When ‘Toxic Masculinity’ Saved The World: “It
seems we have decided that we no longer need those kinds of men, that their day
has come and gone. I disagree. Rather than trying to domesticate and feminize
our boys, hoping that they will grow into manly women or womanly men, we should
point to those men on that beach and say, "Be like them. Be a man. Be who
you are." Because as long as there is evil in this world, we will need men
laden thick with toxic masculinity to rise up and meet it. That was the case in
1944 and it is still the case today.”

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Always So Angry?
5/3 Issues and
Insights
Bernie
Sanders is mad. He fulminates about the abundance of consumer choices, such as
“23 underarm spray deodorants” and “18 different pairs of sneakers.” He rails
against credit card companies because he thinks their interest rates are too
high. He thunders over the prices Americans pay for prescription drugs.
The
Democratic senator from Vermont, who is truly a socialist, having campaigned
for a Marxist group in the 1980s, is perpetually upset with the way private banks conduct
their business, and forever enraged at corporations for making profits. When he
speaks, he comes off as that bitter man who shakes his fist at those darned
neighborhood kids. There’s a reason Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and others have
called Sanders the “crazy uncle in the attic.” He’s mad because everyone won’t
do as he says.
Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is another angry democratic socialist. She rages when
her sophomoric Green New Deal is questioned. She was incensed when Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he was going to let the Senate vote
on her legislation. She’s annoyed that cauliflower is grown in urban gardens,
apparently because it’s a “colonial” vegetable. Columnist Peggy Noonan said
Ocasio-Cortez was “sullen, teenage and at a loss” during President Trump’s
State of the Union address. Her very manner is that of someone who is mad at
the world and is always just seconds away from lashing out.
Sen.
Elizabeth Warren carries anger around with her like a purse — it’s always there
within easy reach. She’s “mad as hell at the influence of money in
Washington, D.C.,”
and is equally venomous toward Wall Street. Other things that make her furious:
Congress’ reluctance to “refinance student loan interest rates” (whatever they
are); “billions of dollars” in private sector profits; billionaires in general;
the minimum wage.
The
anger and negativity on the left isn’t gushing forth from only these three scolds.
They’re just the most visible. As a party, today’s Democrats, which include
nearly all members of the media, are constantly frothing about something. Taxes
aren’t high enough, a good part of the country doesn’t wish to join their
health care collective, so many Americans want to exercise their First and
Second Amendment rights. The political left is unhappy that there are natural
differences in incomes and in wealth, that people of faith dare practice their
faith, that school administrations sometimes allow conservatives to set up
tables on university campuses and hand out written material, and that the
working class resists its demands to conform.
Democrats
and their traveling comrades are enraged that Israel exists as a nation, snarl
about “white privilege” and “whiteness” every time they see a microphone or an
open reporter’s notepad, and curse that Trump is president. They’re indignant
that the rest of us don’t want to behave and think exactly as they tell us we
must.
Nor
is the outrage new. In 2008, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman
thought Hillary Rodham Clinton was too “angry” to win that year’s election.
“And to hear Republicans tell it,” The Associated Press reported, “Clinton is
just one of many Democrats with an anger management problem. Former Vice
President Al Gore is angry. So is Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. The party
is held hostage by the angry left.’ “
Four
years earlier, Howard Dean shrieked like a madman after losing the Iowa
caucuses.
The
Left’s anger and seething resentment of the achievements of Western civilization
is puzzling, especially when it’s directed toward America, and American
institutions and traditions. To borrow the words of President Reagan in his
first Inaugural address, no other nation has “achieved so much.” We have
“prospered as no other people on Earth.” “Freedom and the dignity of the
individual,” said the 40th president, “have been more available and assured
here than in any other place on Earth.”
Is
this country perfect? Of course not. It has flaws. There are things to be angry
about. But they’re not the ones the Democratic-socialist-left-wing mob
routinely has tantrums over.

FROM OTHER COLUMNS
“This was a week when all Americans should have been united
in celebrating two of our historic victories in World War II and the brave
young soldiers and sailors who made them possible. … America had thousands of
great heroes in the Pacific and in Europe during World War II, but we’ve done a
terrible job of celebrating success stories like D-Day. We’ve also done a lousy
job of teaching our kids the extraordinary things we did to defeat the twin
evils of fascism and communism. I don’t ever want to run into another 28-year-old
American man — as I once did — who didn’t know why there is a cemetery filled
with thousands of American soldiers on the coast of France. I also don’t ever
want to talk to another young American standing where the Berlin Wall once was
and have him tell me that the United States put up the wall to keep the
Communists out of their sector.”
-Michael Reagan
“Joe Biden held the same position on the Hyde Amendment for
46 years. He flipped on it in 24 hours of fringe leftists attacking him.”

TUCKER CARLSON
Tucker Carlson monologue blisters establishment republicans
for not supporting Trump on Mexico tariffs.
Carlson began quoting an unnamed public figure denouncing companies that
"wave the flag, but … have no loyalty or allegiance to America." Then
came the big reveal: The person Carlson was quoting was none other than
left-leaning Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.),
whom Carlson praised for sounding "like Donald Trump at his best."
The Libertarian Mises Institute, while offended by Tucker’s economic
nationalism, concedes some of his points.
And a real provocative view of this: “Carlson is trying to lead the Republican
electorate from his Fox News perch to a right-wing embrace of the economic
patriotism Warren is currently advocating from the left. He'd be uniquely well
placed to take this platform all the way to the White House in 2024.”

WISE
WORDS
“Statism is a system of institutionalized violence and
perpetual civil war. It leaves men no choice but to fight to seize political
power — to rob or be robbed, to kill or be killed. … Statism survives by
looting; a free country survives by production.”
-Ayn Rand
