one of their basic rights. P eople think highly of Presidents who are cowboys. It is once expressed bya citizen: “ Now, as an older citizen, I still like cowboys... They represent something good -- something pure that America has been missing. Ronald Reagan was a cowboy . Ronald Reagan was brave, positive, and gave us hope. He wore a white hat. To the consternation of his critics, he had the courage to call a spade a spade and call the former Soviet Union 5 what it was -- the evil empire. President Bush distinguishes between good and evil. He calls a spade a spade, and after 9-11 called evil “ evil, ” without mincing any words. That's what cowboys do, you know ”(). A ll in all, cowboy culture influenced American politics greatly, not only on the leaders but also on people who are governed.
