I have been in a state of utter disbelief over how the public can be so indifferent to recognizing those who give something besides molesting children. Even Farrah Faucett did more than this self-serving, mentally disturbed psycho. All Farrah got was honorable mention today...
I agree, with all these drooling koolaid drinkers worshiping at the alter of immorality, it is wonder this country hasn't fallen before now. If someone is talented and wealthy enough, they get a free pass for just about anything.
I confess that I liked much of Michael Jackson's music.
But this Cult of Jackson, over and above real heroes, is disgusting.
I'll put up a brief post about Jackson right now and link back to this commentary of yours, Mustang. Hope you don't mind.
Mustang,
This is a very interesting take on the news of MJ's death. It reminds us how displaced we are as a country when we mourn the loss of child molesting musicians whilst there is no rememberance of our REAL heroes.
Semper fi.
Wow, Mustang.......you are so right.
i'm with Always, I liked his music and I never did think he was a molester...tho some of the evidence was creepy at best.......
BUT, we put this man ahead of our REAL HEROES and that's simply not right nor is it healthy.
As you know, I saw an article in Yahoo about the ravages of war, the terrible injuries, it looked like an attempt to turn people from the war to ME....to turn them away from fighting, that it is wrong because people die or are injured. No thought to the important CAUSE.
I think there's a tie-in here....we should be honoring those soldiers, all soldiers, and talking about their utter courage, not pitying them. that's my opinion, anyway. ...but we honor Michael Jackson.
I think our media has a lot to do with this. It seems that the perverse psychopaths get more attention that the truly unsung heroes ever will.
Linking to this blog.
Never checked this one - of your two blogs--will always read both from now on..

There comes a time when one must define the word: Hero. A hero is not a person who sings songs, plays ball, or acts a fool on a television screen. Our society has distorted this word beyond recognition. It is time to retrieve the real meaning and apply it to those who truly have earned it as a title, an honor --as it should be.
Who is a hero? I know a few of whom I hold in the highest regard, though, they will never admit that they have earned the title...
Hero: One who does brave and noble deeds. A person who exhibits extraordinary bravery, firmness, or greatness of soul...A hero doesn't vaunt him or herself into the realm of fame and recognition. A person considered a hero is heroic because he does what is right, noble, and what sometimes is the hardest and most unpopular action that results in what he knows is good.
It is time to tell the stories of the men and women who were and who are truly heroes in this country...it is time to celebrate their contributions and their acheivements...it is time to honor them in the way they deserve.
Bradley vs Sniper--just posted--I needed it today after the largest tax increase in American history!!

Read Hal Moore's book and saw the film. It's a shame that such stains receive such publicity.

Absolutely spot on. I had the same conversation with a young neighbor, substituting Sergeant Rodney Davis, USMC and PFC Jimmy Phipps, USMC as the real heroes.
