Heroes

Where have all our heroes gone? The libtards, progressives, and obots believe that everything should be gray, everything is relative, all on the same plane. No one person stands out above the other person. We are all the same and no one aspires to greatness. This is what is wrong with todays culture. There is black and white, good and evil, and light and dark, and this is why we need heroes. Heroes used to posses a certain character that made the world a better place. Remember when we used to listen to stories about our ancestors who crossed the Atlantic, over came hardships, suffered through diseases. We used to read books about the Great Depression, crossing the plains and mountains to reach the West. This fueled our hunger for tales of daring and fearlessness. These things made us want to aspire to be more than "average" and for all the right reasons. These "heroes" brought us courage and boldness and a sense of determination to overcome obstacles. They gave us cleverness, inventiveness, and a belief in oneself. They gave us a positive outlook on life and all of the things that are wrong with todays culture. Recently a survey was done on some of the American youth, only half could name a personal hero. The other half named an athlete, movie star, or a musician. How sad is that? How could we let this happen, well it has been going on for years. The media and the progressive movement affecting both schools and the mind-set of our youth. They have demonized individuality and changed the image of what a hero really is. Today our youth see scandals in sports and in our government at the highest levels, so what are they supposed to think when no one is held accountable for their actions. The media and the current administration seek to tarnish anyone who reaches for a higher rung on the ladder of life. This is where we have failed, we should be encouraging them to become heroes, to be role models and strive to be more successful. Don't become just another player on the "team" use your imagination, use the stories of our grandparents, groundbreakers, and become a hero. Teach them to reach for the stars. Teach them to become leaders. Dare them to be a Joan of Arc, a Gandhi, or a Lincoln. As it says in 1 Corinthians 16:13...Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. God Bless America. We need more "Heroes".
