Riassunto

As presidential candidates sling dirt at each other, America desperately needs a few real heroes. Tragically, liberal historians and educators have virtually erased traditional American heroes from history. According to the Left, the Founding Fathers were not noble architects of America, but selfish demagogues. And self–made entrepreneurs like Rockefeller were robber–barons and corporate polluters. Instead of honoring great men from America’s past, kids today now idolize rock stars, pro athletes and Hollywood celebrities.

In his new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to Real American Heroes, author Brion McClanahan rescues the legendary deeds of the greatest Americans and shows why we ought to venerate heroes like Captain John Smith, adventurer Daniel Boone, General Robert E. Lee and many more. The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to Real American Heroes not only resuscitates America’s forgotten heroes, but sheds light on the Left’s most cherished figures, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Kennedys.

With biting wit and devastating detail, McClanahan strikes back against the multicultural narrative peddled by liberal historians who make heroes out of pop culture icons and corrupt politicians. In America’s hour of peril, McClanahan’s book is a timely and entertaining call to remember the heritage of this great nation and the heroes who built it.

Praise for The Politically Incorrect Guide(TM) to REAL American Heroes


?Forgetting the builders of our nation will lead to the collapse of our nation. Brion McClanahan s Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes can help us avoid collapse and extend American civilization to future generations.
&mdashl;Leo Thorsness, colonel USAF (retired), Medal of Honor recipient, POW in Vietnam for six years

?Ronald Reagan reminded us in his first inaugural address, ?Those who say that we re in a time when there are no heroes?they just don t know where to look. Now they can look here! The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes helps us distinguish true heroes from mere celebrities. As Calvin Coolidge said, ?Great men are ambassadors of Providence sent to reveal to their fellow men their unknown selves. This book is an overdue reminder of this timeless truth.
?Steven F. Hayward, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents and The Age of Reagan

?Unless one is intoxicated by the scourge of political correctness, there can be no argument as to who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Self-evident truth remains common and sensible to those of us honest enough to genuinely scrutinize and study history, thereby identifying when good things happen and when bad things happen and just who the perpetrators are. Brion McClanahan identifies some of the long forgotten American heroes who helped shape the greatest quality of life the world has ever known in his book The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes. Enormous upgrade will occur if this book is made an integral part of the education process for America s youth so we never forget who the real heroes were and how to keep the dream alive.
?Ted Nugent, rock n roll legend, outdoorsman, and author of God, Guns, & Rock N Roll; Kill It & Grill It; and Ted, White, and Blue
