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.

America is a work in progress. We celebrate the heroes of the past, not for their glory but for their inspiration, with the firm belief that any individual in America can do anything if he or she has the talent and the determination. No one is limited by class, gender, birth, or skin color. While important American leaders have included Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Lincoln, they have also included Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois, Dorothea Dix, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King Jr. We celebrate the courage of Daniel Inouye, Jackie Robinson, Tecumseh, Muhammad Ali, and Ida Wells. We celebrate the humanity of Will Rogers, Jane Addams, Oprah Winfrey, and Bill and Melinda Gates. We are inspired by the achievements of Andrew Carnegie, Wilma Mankiller, Gloria Steinem, Duke Ellington, and Steven Spielberg, along with the dedicated public service of Thurgood Marshall, Margaret Sanger, Jaime Escalante, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Cesar Chavez. In American Heroes, Martin Feess allows these and other American heroes to speak for themselves in their deeds and their own words.

Book Excerpt: philosophy; later it becomes moral philosophy. Explain the Universe by physical laws, point out that the origin and aim of ethics are the relations of men, and we shall have no more religions, nor need any. The first answer is too intangible, the second too narrow. The rude savage does not philosophize on phenomena; the enlightened student sees in them but interacting forces: yet both may be profoundly religious. Nor can morality be accepted as a criterion of religions. The bloody scenes in the Mexican teocalli were merciful compared with those in the torture rooms of the Inquisition. Yet the religion of Jesus was far above that of Huitzilopochtli. What I think is the essence, the principle of vitality, in religion, and in all religions, is their supposed control over the destiny of the individual, his weal or woe, his good or bad hap, here or hereafter, as it may be. Rooted infinitely deep in the sense of personality, religion was recognized at the beginning, it will be recognized at Read More
