VB has been away in a kind of seclusion, struggling with a follow-up piece on his April
essay on manhood. He said in order to fight the Left and socialism, you have to have a unified theory as why people still cling to it. He said he felt this was the missing piece of the puzzle in Mark Levin's
Liberty and Tyranny, an investigation into why Statists are the way they are.
I read a draft and it really hits home.
In that vein, he asked me to come up with some words on the two major known Alphas in the Republican establishment; Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin.
I write this as a reminder of something Vassar often writes, that you should never get mad at jackals for being jackals. With regard to both Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney, they (the media, the Democrat party and other stooges) behave the way do because it is in their nature to. They could no more help it than Bill Clinton could a reach-around if he came up on an intern's blind side.
VB wrote about "manning up" in April, and writes eloquently in his upcoming piece about the "acquired" aspects of Alphaism (as opposed to the genetic).
But both Sarah and Dick just ooze the in-born, natural scent of Alpha femininity and masculinity.
Surely you can understand why that would drive the Katie Couric's and Matt Lauer's of the world absolutely batty.
They can't hep it (per Ann Richards).
