A real hero is the left's worst nightmare especially if that hero doesn't put a neo- before Conservative and has the potential to become another Ronald Reagan. To the Left, a hero is a community organizer, whatever that is. But to the rest of us, those of us with red state blood in our veins, real heroes are people like Brian Chontosh and now maybe, Sarah Palin.
Brian Chontosh is a living legend in the Marine Corps. He received the Navy Cross in 2004 for actions during battle in March 2003. To read about him go to http://www.defenselink.mil/heroes/profiles/chontoshB.html. It will make you proud to be an American who lives in a country blessed by God with men like Brian Chontosh.
Which is why, if you search the New York Times for a story about Brian Chontosh http://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch?query=chontosh&submit.x=14&submit.y=5 you will find exactly one listing, an Op-Ed piece complaining that medals are not being issued at the same rate they were in Vietnam. (Maybe that's because John Kerry isn't there to issue medals to himself.) It has been three and a half years and the so-called "paper of record" a business that advertised itself at "all the news that's fit to print," has not done a single story about a genuine American hero.
Instead the left ignores Captain Chontosh and men and women like him because in the light of real heroes-Red State Heroes-the left's "heroes" fade to well-deserved obscurity. More importantly Red State Heroes by their actions and their very existence undermine the liberal-cut and run-America stinks-we need more big government and all your money-agenda. They prove that free individuals can achieve greatness.
The left simply does not have it within their power to ignore Sarah Palin so they have to destroy her. And they will try with every dirty trick and act of hypocrisy they can fathom. Because in Sarah Palin, the Conservative movement may have a hero. In Sarah Palin, the left's worst nightmare and freedom's best dream may have a chance to come true.
