Below
is an editorial about how the US really has heroes. Its a kind of "ra ra
ra" this country's not as bad as some of you folks say. Well, at least the
rescue efforts are good. They have lots of actual volunteers who use their own
boats and equipment to go around and help people in danger. Most of these
people get no pay for this. No one can argue that these are not good people
doing good things. The US mainstream news media seems to look for heroes
lately. They seem to believe that this country needs heroes to look up to.
There
is a clear difference between these heroes who are helping people and actually
saving lives rather than the fake heroes the news media usually fosters on us.
Often people who are fighting for imperialism across the sea in Iraq and
Afghanistan are built up as heroes. We are told they are saving lives, but that
means saving the lives that are illegally there in the first place. The best
way for us to save lives in places such as Afghanistan would be to take out all
the US troops and let those people rebuild their country in peace. And they ARE
NOT defending our freedom! That is simply a lie.
Most
of these flood rescue people are not in the news for being royalty. They weren't born into it
nor did they marry into it. Isn't it way past time to quit worshiping heroes
who have an important job because they were born into it? " “A king is unnecessary, for his shit
stinks the same as his own people’s!”
The
real reason these rescue folks are heroes is that they are NOT taking lives.
They don't have to kill anyone to save anyone. They may have to kill an alligator
or two, but that is better than killing a person. So on this rare occasion The
Washing Times is right that we do have some heroes and some good people
in the US. And it is no surprise they are not members of Congress or President
Donald Trump. Trump will probably be pressured into sending aid to Texas and
other disasters. But he is no hero.
...And why did The
Washington Times have to use those people's heroism as an excuse to trash
liberals and progressives? This article is a cheap shot.
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
America is a pretty bleak place,
if you ask some of the soreheads in the magpie media and other places
where naysayers dwell.
They would tell you that equal
justice under the law, fairness, and good neighborliness have
disappeared from sight. Taking their place are racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny
and other diseases that
had for years lurked beneath the surface are now returning with a wink and a
nod from the White House.
That’s bunk, but it’s bunk that
fraudsters and shysters can sell. This bunk motivates the disenfranchised to
turn out to vote at election time. If enough of the credulous and the naive buy
the bunk, the “regressives” — who used to be called liberals and then
progressives — can get back to work expanding the welfare state and enlarging
the swamp.
