The Patriot Post® · Oliver North on Heroes

Lt. Col. Oliver North addressed CPAC Friday and explained the definition of a real hero: “My heroes are not people who catch passes in the end zone or set Olympic records or even those who appear on comic books or creations of television in a spandex suit and a cape. In fact, my heroes wear flack jackets and combat boots and flight suits. They put themselves at risk for the benefit of others. That’s the definition of a hero.” He also had a few choice words for Barack Obama: “We don’t need a head of state who draws phony red lines with a pink crayon.” He added, “We must show our enemies both here and abroad that we are not just the land of the free, but also the home of the brave.” Something for our “lead from behind” president to consider.
