ROLE MODELS – PART FIVE
HAPPY NEW YEAR
I have developed a checklist for anyone to use for evaluating a candidate you would recommend as a Role Model for our children to admire. The only fatherless children I ever knew as a boy were ones who lost their father in World War 2. Fathers and mothers are supposed to be Role Models for their children. Until the Pearl Harbor attack, mothers raised their children instead of grandparents, day care centers or sadly no one. Times have changed and now as few mothers truely raise their children and look at some of the statistics related to children who spend their entire life with no father.
•63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.
•90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.
•85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control)
•80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol. 14, p. 403-26)
•71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)
•75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes – 10 times the average.
•70% of youths in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (U.S. Dept. of Justice, Sept. 1988)
•85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction)
• 43% of all US children live without their father [US Department of Census]
Daughters of single parents without a Father involved are 53% more likely to marry as teenagers, 711% more likely to have children as teenagers, 164% more likely to have a pre-marital birth and 92% more likely to get divorced themselves.
If this shocks you as it did me, I encourage you to read more and really get shocked. When will the American people wake up and get involved? Now Obama and Congress are racing to add 13 million more aliens to these statistics for only one reason. Power, re-election and electing Hillary Clinton for 8 more years of destruction is the only reason.
Before you get to the checklist I would like to ask you to use the same criteria to evaluate your current member of the House of Representatives, both Senators and who you voted for in the last Presidential election. You could use this for State and local elected positions. If you do evaluate those you voted for, would you vote for them again? Yes or No. If you answered “No” have you determined why you chose them or do you really care who are “Role Models” for your children?
ROLE MODEL CHECKLIST
Candidate’s name_______________________________________________
CIRCLE YOUR ANSWERS
1. As a Leader, would you follow (him/her) anywhere, anytime and support their every position? Yes — No or Who Cares
2. Do you truly believe (he/she) is ethical, honest and trustworthy? Yes –No or Who Cares
Yes or Who Cares means you would or possibly have recommend (him/her) to be a Role Model for your children, grandchildren or great grandchildren? The “Who Cares” must be the people who voted for Obama and the Democrats as I can’t think of even one who meets the criteria of question 2. For that matter I have the same problem when I review the Republicans I voted for. Folks we are leaderless and short on Role Models for our children to admire.
If you feel you need some more detail coaching to answer the above two questions, I have compiled some detailed questions you can use to help you decide.
TWENTY ABILITY QUESTIONS
1. Do you feel they might be depriving a village somewhere of its idiot?
2. Like a small puppy – do they run around excitedly, leaving little messes for other people to clean up?
3. As leaders have they passed being a has-been and they are actually a never will be?
4. When they open their mouth, it is only to change the foot that was previously in there?
5. Could they function as a leader or organizer in a 2 man submarine?
6. Do they carry out each and every one of their duties only to their satisfaction?
7. Would they be out of their depth in a parking lot water puddle?
8. Are they technically sound, but socially impossible?
9. Do they have occasional flashes of adequacy that are marred by an attitude of apathy and indifference?
10. Do they remind you of a gyroscope, always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere?
11. When they reach rock bottom do they keep digging?
12. Could they organize a woodpecker picnic in a National Forest?
13. Do they work well when under constant supervision or when cornered like a rat in a trap?
14. Are they the sharpest knife in the drawer?
15. Do they have two brains; one being lost and the other out looking for it?
16. Did they get into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn’t watching?
17. Do they have a room temperature IQ score?
18. Do they drink from the Fountain of Knowledge or just gargle?
19. Are they brain dead and just don’t know it?
20. Are they so busy they don’t know whether they found a rope or lost their horse?

GOVERNMENT SUCCESS REPORT – ROLE MODELS – PART FOUR!
Everyone would agree that I have been rather critical of Liberals, Conservatives, Congress and especially President Obama for a lack of leadership. Supplied with some rather impressive “FACTS”, that you would have expected the media to uncover, I hope you enjoy a comparison of Government Success when Americans were united.
During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.
Americans who don’t care far outnumber the ones who lived, died and suffered but joined another Liberal Administration to win a non-political war. At least Franklin Roosevelt was a leader that Americas respected with a Congress filled with role models that united rather than dividing the people. We had military leaders that were respected role models for the children to admire.
Sadly, if the United States was attacked today I expect that over 50,000,000+ Americans that won’t work would defect to Canada instead of building weapons and facing the enemy. If they were shot it would be in the back while running away from the gravy train.
TODAY
It’s worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration and Congress couldn’t build a functioning web site.
WHY?
Leadership the reason? You can be sure that I feel that what we are watching is planned and executed by our government leadership, including the so called conservatives in Congress. Unions and the EPA are the biggest enemies Americans ever faced.
Why are we buying oil from the enemy instead of drilling and creating jobs building a pipeline to Canada? Answer, we have too many tree hugging cowards that buy their support with political donations to cowards in Congress.

ROLE MODELS!
Creating this blog increased my interest in the political activity in both Washington D.C. and Austin Texas. I have more time than most as I have been retired for 20 years, it reminds me of my interest when I was a boy. During the late 1930’s and early 40’s growing up in the depression provided little entertainment as most of the money we had was required to just survive.
We had no TV, limited radio and newspapers that actually reported the news without bias and government power threats like we see today. Americans survived without Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Drug Plans and insurance was limited to burial plans for the elderly for 90% of the people.
I look back and remember the people who were role models for those of my generation. We only had one President, Franklin Roosevelt, from the time I was old enough to remember and age 15. As a boy he was someone to admire, trust and a role model. Many heroes and role models were abundant during my teen age and formative years during World War Two. We also had Audie Murphy, Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower and thousands of neighbors, family and friends who gave their life to save our Republic and freedoms.
I suppose some of our politicians were liars, cheats, thieves, con men and criminals. Without media sensationalism, bias and outright propaganda, it would hard to know what they may have done. Some at least were public servants instead of career leeches seeking royal stature and lifetime wealth as their objective. What was a select few back then has become a mass majority today.
The intensity of chaos, secrecy and lack of ethics in Congress, our President and his advisors, our Courts and the pitiful lack of any political leadership is pathetic. I am not totally focused on President Obama as we have not had any creditable leadership in Washington since Ronald Reagan.
President Obama has merely intensified the race to destroy our Republic form of democracy and his legacy, Obamacare, has established new parameters of total insanity. Watching this man along with his power partners, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi manage our country reminds me of watching Larry, Curley and Moe who made me laugh as a boy.
Other major things have also changed with the people who vote to empower these power hungry con men. When I was a boy even children understood the difference between slapstick comedy and common sense governance. Our education system along with our justice system has been high jacked and politicized to replace our freedoms and eventually eliminate “States Rights” with total control of our lives from one central government.
Our national media refuses to report the news anymore and we are bombarded with twisted, biased and news controlled by Washington power brokers. I can’t find one leader in our current political field that would be a role model for our children. We have leaders of business, commerce and finance that would be role models if we had a media that was honest or had the guts to get them exposed. We are obsessed with only selecting politicians to lead our nation.
Most leaders outside of politics have enough sense to understand that the media would find enough dirt to destroy their future if they threatened the Progressive-Liberal agendas.
One thing is certain for Americans who can see through these smoke screens of lies, deceit and twisted facts. Watching Obama (Moe), Reid (Larry) and Pelosi (Curley) lead us is more comical than watching the “Three Stooges”. The price of admission is more than the nickel it costs when I was a boy and we got to see two movies and serials to boot.
To be fair, balanced and politically correct you can line up the current Republican political leadership and enjoy more slapstick comedy. Like Obama and his cronies, they could not lead you out of a paper sack if both ends were open.
America is becoming the laughing stock of world leaders including the Third World countries. Even Mexico is trying to remove isolationism that has failed its people.
Who are your role models?
