And yes, I think there is something beautiful about a person of action. We all have a role; John and Glenn have a role in society, but society wouldn't function if everyone had their head in a book. Innovations require application (i.e, doing something); building houses, running businesses, driving trucks and repairing tires requires real tangible skills that go beyond musings and ponderings. Many of these people, once respected for fufilling their role, are now attacked as "idiots, racists, xenophobes", etc, etc by intellectual apparatchiks and their busybodies.
Someone whose willing to stand on that threshold and admit their imperfect (or at least not a give a damn) and say hey folks say this is me: the good, the bad and the ugly; I might be course and unsavoury, and you know I've got a lot of baggage; but man oh man do I love life and liberty and I'll do anything to preserve it, deserves a degree of respect and admiration.
In some ways Trump is the kryptonite to the intolerant puritan intellectuals who seek total compliance and collective obedience to their perfecly ordered -- and therefore extremely mundane -- manufactured politically correct dystopia (utopia for them).
Thank you for your comments.
