My 80-something cousin sent me this. As an older gentleman (you know, opens doors, pays for dinner) I am kinda sick of being demonized as racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. when all I want to be is a decent human being.
Here's the letter he sent or forwarded, I'm not sure which:
Let this sink in for a minute.....Hundreds and hundreds of small boats pulled by countless pickups and SUVs from across the South are headed for Houston. Almost all of them driven by men. They're using their own property, sacrificing their own time, spending their own money, and risking their own lives for one reason: to help total strangers in desperate need.
Most of them are by themselves. Most are dressed like the redneck duck hunters and bass fisherman they are. Many are veterans. Most are wearing well-used gimme-hats, t-shirts, and jeans; and there's a preponderance of camo. Most are probably gun owners, and most probably voted for Trump.
These are the people THE LEFT LOVES TO HATE, the ones Maddow mocks. The ones Maher and Olbermann just *KNOW* they're so much better than.
These are The Quiet Ones. They don't wear masks and tear down statues. They don't, as a rule, march and demonstrate. And most have probably never been in a Whole Foods.
But they'll spend the next several days wading in cold, dirty water; dodging gators and water moccasins and fire ants; eating whatever meager rations are available; and sleeping wherever they can in dirty, damp clothes. Their reward is the tears and the hugs and the smiles from the terrified people they help. They'll deliver one boatload, and then go back for more.
When disaster strikes, it's what men do. Real men. Heroic men. American men. And then they'll knock back a few shots, or a few beers with like-minded men they've never met before, and talk about fish, or ten-point bucks, or the benefits of hollow-point ammo, or their F-150.
And the next time they hear someone talk about "the patriarchy", or "male privilege", they'll snort, turn off the TV and go to bed.
In the meantime, they'll likely be UP AGAIN BEFORE DAWN. To do it again. Until the helpless are rescued. And the work's done.
They're unlikely to be reimbursed. There won't be medals. They won't care. They're heroes. And it's what they do.

Excellent post and so very accurate. Thank you, and thank all the men who are helping those in need, risking their lives to help people they don't know, no matter what race or sex these people are.

Thx for posting that Matt. These are our silent heroes. I would have to wonder if any of the whiney little college brats got groups together to go and help. Maybe some, but I'd grant very few. Most of them are already watching Irma, hoping she will ruin Mar Largo. SPOILED BRATS THAT THEY ARE!

Unfortunately, Kankune, they are the future of this country. Doesn't look like much of a future.
The snowflakes didnt go,because most of them are stupid,gimmies,,,they live in their parents house,and bitch about the do-gooders,( most of us are the do-gooders) screw them flakey bastards.

It's a sad, sad case El. I put a lot of the blame on their parents and professors.....
I tried to picture an army of flakes headed up by Chuckie Schumer, Kane, Faukahauntus, et al marching forth towing inflatable pool toys...
Anyhow, this was a good post celebrating the true traditional AMERICAN male.
The spirit lives on despite constant bombardment from those progressive anarchists and anti-American fellow travelers.

I would like to state that their are a lot of good women out there too. Not nearly as much as the men but lets not forget them. I cannot believe any snowflakes are out there because they have no safe rooms to run to when the going gets tough.

If you google "blm helping flood victims" you'll find some stuff claiming they are but I have now spoken to over fifty people in Houston who said it not happening

Most every able bodied person who could help was/is helping moldy.
Don't try and distort things here. A very good point was made about people here. American people.
