Who will be the our Hero's The people we look up to?


The Summer of '69 "it was the best years of my life", as the song goes. a few months before I met my girlfriend and future wife. A time of war but a time of extraordinary achievements. A time when American exceptionalism that sent American pilots in a tin can, who had nerves of steel, to the Moon. And that pilot said, "it was a small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind." He did not brag about America, just planted a flag, an American flag on the desolate lunar soil. Not just Americans were in awe but all mankind our friends and our enemies. I saw it on TV; I heard his words as he stepped off the LEM all live for the world to see.

We now do not have a JFK to urge Americans to great achievements, but one who dismisses and diminishes American exceptionalism. One who has defunded the NASA program, and in some remarkably backward notion wants to let others nations lead the way.


It is not the economy, or finance, or some other material deficiency that is America's great hurdle. It is spiritual. How many Neil Armstrongs have been aborted via birth control pills or abortion. How much of our future was sacrificed under the banner of "Choice" ? How much longer can America rely on God's grace when we have so many that spit on His laws? From Obama to virtually all Democrats they have codified into the laws of America, every perversion, and every anti God perversity under the banner of tolerance. They are now so tolerant that they do not have the logic that would condemn the actions of their fellow leftists, Stalin and Hitler.

What Americans need to ask themselves is "is it better to live in God's freedom or in Satan's slavery."

"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."
- Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

"Political correctness is tyranny with manners."
- Charlton Heston (1924-2008)

I never saw fool yet that thought himself other than wise.
— A Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation (1534) St Thomas More

May God rest your soul Neil Armstrong and may your soul and the souls all of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in the peace.
