In election 2008, donât forget Angry White Man
Â












by Gary Hubbell

February 9, 2008



There is a great amount of interest in this yearâs presidential elections, as 
everybody seems to recognize that our next president has to be a lot better 
than George Bush. 
Â
The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates â a woman 
and an African-American â while the conservative Republicans are in a 
quandary about their partyâs 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. 
Â
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 isnât looking for anything from anyone â 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 â âdisenfranchised,â âmarginalizedâ 
and âvoicelessâ â donât resonate with him. âPress âoneâ for 
Englishâ is a curse-word to him. Heâs used to picking up the tab, whether 
itâs 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 âliving 
documentâ 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 heâs 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 doesnât bother him.

The Angry White Man is not a metrosexual, a homosexual or a victim. Nobody like 
him drowned in Hurricane Katrina â 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 donât 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. 

Heâs a manâs 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 doesnât ask for a penny. Heâs 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 heâs a man, not a dishrag. 
If theyâre looking for someone to walk all over, theyâve got the wrong guy. 
He stands up straight, opens doors for women and says âYes, sirâ and âNo, 
maâam.â

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. 

Heâs not a racist, but he is annoyed and disappointed when people of certain 
backgrounds exhibit behavior that typifies the worst stereotypes of their race. 
Heâs 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 pissed off. When his job site becomes 
flooded with illegal workers who donât 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. Itâs not that she is a woman. Itâs that she is 
who she is. Itâs the liberal victim groups she panders to, the âpoor meâ 
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.
