Heroes ( America's true nature)

For the past 30 years liberals have had the attitude that America is bad and hero worship is for the insane, I disagree for several reasons. First it is in our nature as Americans to believe in heroes, not because we want something to believe in, but because it shows us how we should act. A good example of this is the action of the Central Washington University girl's softball team in their game against Western Oregon University. In an act of honor and selflessness they took on themselves to help an injured opponent score her first ever home-run. In an a time when we have sports scandals and false heroes who through their dishonor and selfishness will do anything including cheating to win (that's what taking steroids is). When we hear of Barry Bonds and others taking steroids it shows me that these people do not care for the sport they only care for themselves and their records the C.W.U. softball team could have allowed the W.O.U. team make a substitution, but instead chose to act. This is why we need to shun players like Barry Bonds and honor teams like the C.W.U. softball team. In a time when we have to question the motive of our "sports heroes" it is these false heroes that we must dispose of as heroes for they do not deserve our admiration. Finally teams like the C.W.U. softball team are true heroes because they care more for the sport than they do for winning and that in my book is the true meaning of patriot. People who do what is right instead of what is easy or politically expedient.
