For years in America, particularly in the Western Lands, White Hats fought Black Hats because they could not sit idly by while innocents were victimized by Evil. There was no mystery in the world of the Old West. There were good men and evil men; and, there was little or, next to, no law and order.

Make no mistake, Sam Colt did not Equalize men, he gave the White Hats a chance against the swarming tactics of Evil; for, as a general rule, when Evil attacks, it tends to bolster its cowardice by forming bands of weak-willed, easily led misfits. As Sam Colt saw it, the Good Man needed six shots and a quick draw, to survive in such times. Recognizing the characteristics and hallmarks of Evil men is a task left to the White Hats. "Get your ropes, boys," was the phrase uttered in Sam Colt’s day when Good men decided to tackle bands of Evil. The phrase once held gravity, but now it is commercialized and made comical in the dime novel of modern times, the Media Circus.

The Concept of Robin Hood as a Hero was brought to America in the tales and exploits of William H. Bonnie and Jesse James’ roots. And even though their efforts were romanticized, since the law of the day seemed to be wearing the Black Hats, to demonize our current system of Law and Justice is to undermine its achievements, which, while not perfect, are a far cry from the Corruption and Lawlessness of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries. Today, evil is prosecuted by a jury of peers and the law of our Lands has cut out roughly 75% of the corruption possible in government; and while bribes, kickbacks and other under-the-table deals are struck, there are channels of accountability - and creative bookkeeping is necessary to cover the tracks of misconduct in this day of paper trails and nameless, numbered accounts in the Bahamas. Our laws are not perfect and the Corrupt officials have learned that at times when $90,000 dollars in unmarked bills is uncovered from a freezer…at times like that, a public accusation and redirection of the case’s focus is enough to guarantee a hung jury, since reasonable doubt exists from the gun. The nature of slime is to slip through the cracks, it is the White Hat’s job to seal the cracks with Law, in order to corner as many criminals as possible before they seep away, even if they are Robin Hoods.

Considering Robin Hood a hero is a problem. Robin Hood’s fight was against Taxation. He took the law into his own hands and though the cause may have been just, to Romanticize lawlessness is not necessary, unless you are in a society whose system of laws do not allow men to succeed. Realize that Jesus Christ’s fight with the Money Changers could easily be seen in terms of taxation, since the Sadducees were "changing money" from Roman coin into Sheckels, so that the faithful could worship to Yahweh and pay tithes in Jewish currency. The problem of his day was that the difference in value of the two types of money was allowing the Sadducees to create gambling houses and personal opulence, while the Jewish people worked every day to earn their living. William Bonnie’s celebrated fight was over the land grab tactics of the corrupt government of the time, but it needs to be noted that Billy the Kid was a wanted killer before he ever donned the Deputy Star. Jesse James had a problem with the Eminent Domain tactics of the Transcontinental Rail lines and he sought justice on his own terms and was, in the end, nothing but a killer. Our Founding Fathers’ War of Independence and the rise of the Minutemen that preceded it was over Taxation without Representation. Were they Robin Hoods? To that question one can only say, "No, they were Cowboys."

While Sam Colt "equalized" men, he gave the Cowboy no defense against State corruption, tyranny through taxation, fascist land grabs, the invasion of a conquering army, or against Evil’s ability to strike Good Men when they are not looking. For these defenses, the White Hats were forced to formulate laws and contracts to guarantee both personal liberty and the protection of their Rights. The choices were simple. There was no gray area. Wrong was wrong. Right was right.

Our current problem of eminent domain within our borders, the growing tide of illegal aliens flowing over our borders, plus the rise of Fascism on an unprecedented scale around the world is the battleground of the Modern Cowboy. But, where have all the Cowboys gone?

When the horror of 9/11 gripped the United States, our Modern Cowboy, President George W. Bush, went to war in Afghanistan with a United Country behind him, demanding justice regardless of the U.N.’s pleas for restraint. Americans backed Cowboy Justice without a question, unflinching. Evil had attacked. It had to be dealt with, immediately.

When President Bush shifted gears after smashing the Taliban in Afghanistan and ousted Saddham Hussein in Iraq, freeing the subjugated people of both of those lands, the term "Cowboy Diplomacy" surfaced. And over the past three years, as our Campaign to Guarantee the stability of those infant Governments of Democracy is attacked by the cowardice of terrorism, daily, President Bush’s brand of Cowboy Diplomacy has been attacked by our Media, our enemies, and our allies; and, even though they were the right plays to make, the current political landscape has latched on to the question of whether the War was carried out correctly, rather than focusing on the successes of the campaign. It is mind boggling to realize how quickly reason, patriotism and justice is brought to its knees by a Media dedicated to the cause of "peace at any cost", even if the cost is the Victory of Evil over everything including Freedom of the Press.

And, while President George W. Bush is a Cowboy and is our first President of the new Millennium, throughout the globe, the Twentieth Century is recognized as the American Century. The reason for this distinction was not the advances that Ford made or the achievements in engineering that rose out of our economy from the Ashes of two major World Wars and a great Depression. The reason for the designation was the Cowboy.

At the outset of the 1900s, Theodore Roosevelt entered the quickly changing world stage as our President. He walked softly and carried a big stick and, with a relatively new military force, he ended Spanish Imperialism in the Spanish American War. Imperialism is Tyranny. Imperialism is the modern word for Colonialism and Taxation without Representation. And the United States fought the same type of war 130 years before and gained its independence from England. We should never forget that, for the men who forged the Wilderness to mold a living and then challenged the most powerful army in the world in order to guarantee justice were Cowboys.

After years of overcoming Asthma and his own weaknesses, Teddy Roosevelt rose up, built his mind and body and will to Fight for his Right to Life, and saddled a horse as a Cowboy. He headed the "Rough Riders" and freed Cuba after the Terrorist attack on the U.S.S. Maine. He was a Cowboy and the American Century would not have been possible without his sense of Justice, which trounced the Evils of Imperialist Spain, that had held dominion over its slave states for far too long. That is it. Point blank. There is no mystery in it. When Evil men band together to commit terrorist acts, the Cowboy Rises up, Grabs his rope and does what needs to be done, his way and in his own terms, with his good conscience as his guide. Unlike the easily misguided souls who feel Evil can be negotiated with, the Cowboy takes matters into his own hands and gets the job done.

The Cowboy realizes that acts of unwarranted Violence, Theft, and Terror are fearful acts, not the acts of heroes. No-these are acts of Cowardice, and if Evil acts of Cowardice are left unmet and unchallenged and un-rectified, the precedent will continue and grow and mutate and will, in the end, consume the Planet. See the O.K. Corral as a model. Good Men provide Law and Order - Evil men attack. Period.

That is how it has always been. It is not bravado that gunslingers displayed in their defiance of Right Law, it is cowardice and greed; and, until men of modern times take a lesson from the Cowboys of the past, step up, grab a rope and courageously Fight Evil, cowards the likes of Bin Laden and Nasrallah will infect the planet with the sickness of Greed. For the Selfish Earn and the Greedy Steal. Let me repeat that… The Selfish Earn and the Greedy steal.

Theft is lawlessness. Colonialism is theft.

Colonialism is Imperialism. Imperialism is theft.

Imperialism is Fascism. Fascism is Piracy.

Take your time and understand these words…Fascism is National Socialism, it is Theft through Military Might in order to redistribute the booty among the race or elite of strong criminals.

To see it any other way is folly.

And for any one, any media, any group, any country, or any movement to call the United States Imperialistic after a Century of fighting the Fascist Imperialism of Spain, Japan, Italy, Germany, Russia, China, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and soon to be Iran…is a spit in the face of the Liberating American Soldier, and I will not allow it - Not as I am an American, a Good Man, a Capitalist, a Patriot, a Hero, a White Hat - I am a Cowboy, and if you are a Cowboy, whether in the silent majority or not, you will stand with me and fight this Evil Lie and unjust label!

Where have all the Cowboys gone? He’s gone to work.
The Cowboy is working every day to feed and clothe and care for his family. He walks softly, trying not to be taxed by the police and the state more than he necessarily has to be, out of a desire to remain clean and rise above the pettiness and corruption that are ever-present around him.

The Cowboy of today is the Middle Class worker, the military man, and the silent majority. And, it is time, Cowboys… Awaken, Arise… Stay silent no longer! Regardless of what you are wrapped up in, what type of survival trip you are on or have been forced into, it is time to Rise and Shout in a Unified voice, "Fascism is Evil! Terror is Evil! Taxation without Representation is Tyranny! Tyranny is Dictatorship! Dictatorship is Slavery! Dictators, your days are numbered! Step down or we American Heroes, we Cowboys, will boldly ride to your front door, ropes in hand! Free your people, or the Cowboy will. You are warned! If you question the right of the United States to exist once more, if you question Britain’s right to Exist once more, if you question Israel’s right to exist once more, the Cowboy will fall upon you like a wave of led. Bin Laden, we have a special tree picked out for you! We will not Tolerate Evil in any Guise! We will not Negotiate or Appease Dictators and Terrorists! There is no gray area! There is black and there is white. There is wrong and there is right. No justice can be had for the American people if we submit to the Grayness of Evil and negotiate with Gangs of Thugs! You have all been judged for what you are - Fascist Dictators…and your days are numbered, Pirates! The Cowboy has awakened and his Wrath is mightier than any God you can imagine!"

This is how a Cowboy thinks! This is how a Cowboy should speak!

You may or may not agree with the sentiment; but realize, now…that we are smack dab in the middle of World War Three and it is time to take a side and Fight for your right to Exist before it is too late! World War Three is a battle between Heroic Cowboys and Evil Pirates. This book will re-define the Cowboy and identify Piracy in all of its forms.

The Cowboy is a man or woman of vision and reason that fights for Liberty, Justice, Law and Order in order to defend his labors, risks, and creations that he has earned.

The Pirate is a Man or Woman of venom and guile that fosters Slavery, Injustice, Lawlessness and Chaos in order to steal from Cowboys and profit by Corruption.

The battle is set. Cowboys, our White Hats are getting dusty.

In a battle between wrong and right, between black and white, the primary weapon of the Pirate is grayness. Confusion between wrong and right, between lies and truth is the Pirates’ only Ally in the face of Courage and Law.

We, Cowboys, must re-define clearly, in simple terms, the Freedoms and Truths and Facts that have been corrupted over the course of the Twentieth Century, the American Century, the century in which the Media’s Spinsters came to power.

The pilgrims, the Framers, George Washington, the pioneers, the mountain men, the settlers that hacked their lives out of the wilderness against all odds, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and now, George W. Bush…these are all true examples of Cowboys. And they sought Freedom, Justice, Law and Order and fought piracy their entire lives.

And while this book is dedicated to their trials and tribulations and successes and failures, it is to the youth and aged alike of this New Millennium of Americans that it is aimed and crafted. It falls to the current generation to realize that the Dictionary is the revolver of our day and that the bullets of the gun are words. Words, like bullets, can most assuredly be used for and by both Good and Evil.

The day of Reckoning is upon you. It is time to settle accounts.
And if you are a Cowboy, you will arm yourself with a Dictionary and fight back when Evil Words are fired upon this Great Nation and its People.

This book is a lesson on how to fight Pirates. Propaganda is the first phase of World War III; and as you read these words, Reason is losing the battle. You have a right to Exist. Fight Cowboys. Fight! In the end, Reason and Courage will always defeat Cowardice and Grayness. Silence is Surrender! Your Voice, your pen, and your vote are the primary tools of the Modern Cowboy’s fight. Ours is a land of Freedom, Justice and Law…our heroes need not be Robin Hoods…our heroes should be Cowboys.

Unfortunately; the Cowboys, of today…the Middle Class, the Military Man, and the Silent Majority…are haunted by the Guilt of their forefathers’ Success, are hunted because they are Heroes of Freedom, and any hint of their heroism is assaulted and attacked relentlessly by Gangs of Pirates; and, the Propaganda War, that we are currently witnessing and experiencing, only magnifies the reality by twisting values and graying out fact and reason a little more every day.

Dig in, Cowboys. Arm yourselves. Hold your ground, heroes.

The Fight has only just begun.
