Mohamed Ali, Pete Rose, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Steve Garvey, Bill Clinton, Michael Vick, Michael Jackson, Arnold Swartzneggar, Mike Berkow, Marilyn Monroe, John Kennedy, George Patton, Tiger Woods, and the list could go on and on.
So, what do all of these politicians, movie stars, police chiefs, sports stars, musicians, and generals all have in common? I'm sure that my conservative Followers know, but for the liberals and others with their heads buried in the sand, I'll tell you.
All of these idiots were, at least for a moment, were in the spotlight. They were heralded as our nation's best. The were the heroes, and they were the role models for our youth. And they all fell from their glory.
They fell from their seat at the top of their pedestal because they sold their souls to the devil. Some succumbed to drugs and alcohol, some to corruption, some to their sexual desires, and others to money and greed.
Some were convicted, but all were judged. Judged by the very ones that put them in the spotlight. Some recovered, some not, and most will never recover their fame in the same light as it was.
So, is that fair? Take the poll to the left.

ReplyDeleteall of us do wrong. there is no difference in the "value" of the wrong because of who we are or are not or what the wrong is or isn't. all of us should hold ourselves accountable for our wrongs. and in some way or another, there are punishments for our wrongdoings.
when one is a "star" their lives are public to a certain extent. if the public choses no longer to "support" the star because of their wrong doing (well, that is a price (thereby a punishment) they pay for having a public life.
it is my choice as to whether or not i will support (or associate with) anyone, star or not, when they have done wrong or what i perceive as wrong.
Geo-Thanks for your opinion; however, each of those named above are, or were, role models to most Americans, and especially our children. To condone the behavior that these persons have done, is to say to our children that behavior is ok for them to do as well. Public figures need to be held to a higher standard.
ReplyDeletestars should recognize the impact of their actions upon their fans and act responsibly. it is not that i hold them to a higher standard than anyone else...i hold everyone to the standards / using the Bible as a moral compass
