With all this Bruce Jenner sensationalism and people referring to him as heroic and so courageous maybe we should take a second and re-set in our brains what real heroism and courage look like! Roger that!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
On that note, RN, and speaking of the Muslim world in a country that is a "Islamic republic of _____, maybe all men aren't homosexual. But almost all the men I saw or worked near in Afghanistan practiced homosexual acts. The most sickening day of the week was "Man-love Thursday, on the eve of their holy day, Friday.Absolutely disgusting!

I had no idea how primitive and immoral those people were. That's the stuff they don't show on any of the news, or movies, or anywhere except from those that are/were there. Our democracy will never work in a place such as that, at least until we become a place like that.
Speaking of the media, did you notice almost all newer shows have a homosexual part in them? They push it hard to make it seem the norm.I don't care what someone does behind a closed door. I don't want to see it or hear about or have to explain to my kids why mike likes mike.
It is pitiful that we as society glamorize celebrity. The immorality that we allow ourselves to be subject to, no as a society, crave, is the foot on the accelerator to ruin and damnation. The identification of this confused, misguided, mistaken, individual as a hero should shame us as a society and cause the nation to question our values. If this society wasnt founded on Christian values, as some now claim, why is it a crime to commit murder or steal? Why is it not a behavior to be tolerated? Killing someone is against the 10 Commandments and defiantly violates what Jesus said was the most important commandment, "Love your Neighbor as yourself," but it is encouraged in the muslim holy book. Homosexuals are to be killed according to that book. Dont forget about man love Thursday like Don pointed out. That is ignored. Why am I required to tolerate them, (lbgt, muslim, ect), and their actions but my Christian values and opinions are not to be tolerated? Where is our national sense of Patriotism? We are in the midst of Police bashing and harassment. What about the firemen and other first responders? These are the people that run to the sound of the guns in the civilian world. I dont think they should be worshiped rather respected. That is courage. That is love of country. That is putting others first. That is what heroes do. That is what we are all called to do. Love others as ourselves. This sense of community, putting others first, even service, is lost on the majority of the population due to the breakdown of families and ever increasing selfishness. I have had the honor of serving with some of Americas finest in some rough spots around the world. I have served with heroes. Both those awarded for courage under fire and those who werent. Heroes arent people who do what they are asked to do. They are people who do the hard, right thing no matter the circumstances. No matter who is watching. They put others first. No matter what. No matter the cost.I have and will continue to raise my sons and lead my wife as we seek to glorify God. This nation needs God. The silent majority needs to make noise. Pray for our leaders, society as a whole and our neighbors. All politics are local. We can make a difference but the most important thing is to seek his will and be obedient. I am not any more qualified to call someone a national hero than the next guy but I know what a hero is and is not.
