Question: What is up with the world? Where are all the Patriots? Who are the Heros?

Watching the news on TV is a pretty depressing endeavor, not because of the news itself, but the way that it is interpreted and misunderstood by the majority, good things become bad, and bad things become good!
Today President Bush Honored a Hero, Michael A. Monsoor, who threw himself on a grenade, to save his buddies lives! Bush presented the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award, to Monsoor’s parents. Read the full story here. This guy is what America used to be about! This guy was a true hero, not just because he saved his buddies, yes, that was a very special thing, but this guy was already a hero! He had pulled a fellow SEAL to safety before that, but even before he joined the militay he was a hero, just because of his dedication to the country, and his willingness to serve!
This is probably the part of that story that will get passed around, when President Bush just almost cried his eyes out! He was so choked up, I almost cried too! No, this was not a fake Hillary wimper, this man was seriously moved by the Hero he was honoring! I am sure that the way most will hear it will be twisted into making the President look bad.
Also today, General Petraeus, faced the presidential candidates and the committees they sit on, and of course Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, disagreed with Jon McCain when he argued that “much more needs to be done”, no surprise there, read this story here. Read further to see the letter from John McCain on this meeting today.
The point I want to make is this, “If the Democrats are a sign of things to come, America is in trouble” Contrast Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama with the Hero, Michael A. Monsoor, and John McCain, a hero for surviving as a POW. Neither Clinton nor Obama ever served a single day in the military, they don’t deserve to be the Commander in Chief, who is the head of all the military, they haven’t earned it! That would be ridiculous, that is like an atheist becoming Pope! Read more
