A man does whats right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesnt lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.
Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

(173,272 posts)I'm pretty sure they doing and saying a lot of stuff they don't really believe in - let's put it this way: they're serving Trump, NOT America
I gave him a little donation today. Extremely important race!

(17 posts)Talarico should win, I wish I could vote for him. Come on Texans in the middle..independents and sane Republicans..easy choice here.
On a side note, why has there been so much talk about what makes a real man in a Senate race? Trump and MAGA have dragged this country into the gutter.

(5,278 posts)Talerico's masculinity--- since they can't fight him on the real issues....
Kinda makes you wonder what they would say about Jesus---
you know, the whole thing about stopping the crowd from stoning
the adulterous woman to death, with the line
'let he who is without sin cast the first stone' (paraphrased)
Some far right preachers have ALREADY said it, "JESUS was TOO 'WOKE' "
Paxton et al would have BEEN THERE, to cast that first and second and third stone---
especially against a woman!--- and against JESUS afterwards,
for being 'too woke' !
which circles back to another rule of my own, "REAL Men don't stone women to death"
and a long list of other rules which go along with that...
