When the word came recently that Chuck Norris had died, almost everyone said in one way or another, “There was a man!”
Amen.
Norris’ fighting skills weren’t all that made him someone to emulate. He was said to be humble, kind, and charitable. There are some martial arts movies stars who were accused of being arrogant, or even phony, but there was no one who could honestly say either of this man. His movie stardom was born in his well-established prowess as a karate tournament fighter.
A logical man and a conservative, he switched from the Democrat party to Republican because, he said, the Dems had simply veered to far to the left for him. As with Ronald Reagan before him, the Democrats left him, not vice versa.
And, let us not forget, Chuck Norris was a strong supporter of gun owners’ civil rights. At one point, he was a brand ambassador for Glock.
May he rest in peace. We have lost a great role model American.
