Talk:American Heroism

Hulk Hogan?

I'm concerned with having Hulk Hogan on a list of American heroes. I don't see anything about him displaying good, conservative, Christian values and one of his nicknames is "Hollywood Hogan" (which inevitably connects him with extremely detrimental, liberal Hollywood values).

That is true, but it was only his stage persona which was forced on him by liberals. The man himself was definitely a conservative hero. --CraigF 00:14, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Do you have examples? RSnelik 00:18, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Ugh I just did some research and found out the the Hulk backed Barrack Hussein Obama for president. I recall him wearing the American flag with pride before wrestling matches, but I didn't know that he would disgrace it like that. I will remove him immediately thanks for bringing it up. --CraigF 00:21, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

No problem. I think the article is a great idea and contains a strong list of people. I think it'll send a message to the rampant liberals out there about what true heroism is about. RSnelik 00:25, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Women I've added

• Susan B. Anthony - worked to get women the right to vote; pro-life
• Clara Barton - founded the American Red Cross
• Amelia Earhart - she was removed for supporting women's rights - I'm adding her back because her accomplishments in flying outweigh her politics. She's the epitome of a action heroine.
• Helen Keller - she worked hard for disabled people
• Sally Ride - first woman astronaut
• Sojourner Truth - born in New York as a slave; fought for rights for American slaves
• arriet Tubman - she was removed for "not being American". She was born into slavery in Maryland. I'm adding her back to the list - she helped many slaves escape to freedom along the Underground Railroad.

Tubman and Truth not American?

They were both born in the United States, but removd as "not American." BrentH 20:07, 30 August 2011 (EDT)
