An observation – hey, they’re only doing what he’s been doing…

Role Model – that’s what many of us are, like it or not.  The Youngest paid me what I consider one of the highest compliments the other night that a Dad could ever get "Dad, I saw what you went through; you almost gave up – but you didn’t!  Now I know how you feel – and I’m not giving up either"

Role models – I have been heard to say that Character is what a man does when no one is around to see him.  I guess I was doing the right thing at the time – and simply did so because it was the right thing to do at the time.  Little did I know that a young Youngest was watching.  No higher praise can a Dad receive.  It also shows that we all are role models, even a simpleton of an ordinary schlub that I am.

On the other thand, how about the most powerful person in the world: President Obama?  What has he modeled?

“It is inexcusable for any Democrat or progressive right now to stand on the sidelines in this midterm election,” Obama said.

Whatever complaints they might have about climate change or other issues, Obama said, it is “just irresponsible” that some Democrats and progressives were lacking enthusiasm for the election.

“If people now want to take their ball and go home that tells me folks weren’t serious in the first place,” he said. “If you’re serious, now’s exactly the time that people have to step up.”

Why should he be so incensed – or the word that has been thrown around by both the Right and the Left – "condenscending"?

When one is a good role model, this applies: say what you mean, do what you say.  And always remember that actions speak louder than words.

What is the behavior that former Obama voters are modeling?


They are simply doing what Obama does well: throwing family and friends under the bus for his own best welfare (remember him throwing his "typical white" Grandma under the bus for a political point?)
His former supporters are now simply counting their change and found that they are more than willing to throw Obama under the bus for their welfare…

As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
