• Courage, And Politics
  "Why Courage Matters" is the thoughts of a hero on what courage is and how each of us can exhibit it. Author John McCain begins with his views of problems which arise in every day life when courage is lacking.

I don't agree with him on important matters, but there is no question about his loyalty to his country.

• Courage to whip his supporters into patriotic frenzy
  Like everyone else who talks about him, I have the greatest respect for what McCain did for his country 40 years ago. He is a man of great honor and bravery and blah-di-blah-di-blah. He, and his equally bold running mate Sara Palin have shown great courage recently during their campaign rallies when they bravely spew their completely false yet necessary statements about Obama's un-American and terrorist-like activities to their deeply patriotic and extremely well informed supporters.
