Where are all the Heroes?

As I sit in my darkened bedroom, I reminisce about better times in America. Sometimes I wonder if America is the most politically divided country in the world. Maybe it is. America now has a Supreme Court with a conservative majority with three Donald Trump appointees, (a regressive court to the maximum). Congress is totally ineffective on immigration reform, women’s reproductive rights, anti-semitism, or social and criminal justice. Then there is the tragedy of gun violence that occurs every day. 

All of the forgiving seems to have no solution for short-term change. All are being kicked down to a place called Nowhere Street or perhaps Pacific Coast Highway. Result: the most unstable America in my lifetime. Welcome to my nightmare, welcome my mental breakdown. 

I now ask, where are all the heroes? Where are all the saviors like George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Abolitionist John Brown, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, John and Bobby Kennedy, and for some Ronald Reagan?

Surely there is a ghost out there in America’s abstract silent/moral majority who is a hero. Our hero must be able to disavow the overarching conspiracy that American government bureaucrats are choosing to take away resources from American whites. Thus, whites are victims on the road to perdition. Just keep it simple, the world is changing. World resources must be shared.

Remember America, you are the most Christian country in the world. Love thy neighbor. Also, we must always remember Native Americans were the first persons on the North American continent. They are the real victims and were sentenced to perdition. The question remains, where are the heroes?
