Now on your post here, I fully agree with ya!

Thank you.  I just find it hard to fathom anyone thinking there are no modern day heroes when people do heroic things all the time.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

It actually irks me a bit when people refer to "heroes" such as Hollywood actors, sports stars, musicians, etc. They are NOT heroes unless it was someone such as Audie Murphy who became a Hollywood actor.

It is folks who you mentioned and others such as those in our military who are the real heroes in society.

Having read both Orwell's "1984" and Huxley's "Brave New World"... I found these quotes from Postman's book,  "Amusing Ourselves to Death",  quite insightful.

Actually, they both were right. We have Big Brother making sure people aren't using other than the officially approved means to become somnolent. After all, Montag, paying attention is like books. It makes people sad. *

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
