"...no agendas, no artificial props, no“image” or “cover” designed to suit the public’s imagined wants and hide the actual man’s real character. It is undeniable that such an uncalculated manliness often offends: in its lack of political correctness and its plainspoken confidence. “Why does he always think he is so right? Hasn’t he read the latest opinion poll?” We used to call this manly virtue integrity: literally, of being whole and undivided, of being the same throughout. What you see is what you get. Integrity enables another virtue: frankness or candor, that is, saying what you believe and is on your mind without dissimulation or contrivance. For this reason one of the Founding Fathers’ most lauded virtues was candor. After all these great men proclaimed their Independence by submitting facts to a“candid world.” This virtue of integrity, which now goes by the opaque moniker“transparency,” was better understood in the age of the Western hero. The characters played by John Wayne, Gary Cooper, and, for that matter, Ronald Reagan, did not say much. But what they said they meant, and they would back up what they said with their very lives."
