Mac is Back???

Well, I am sure you know by know that Romney decided to drop out--hugely disappointing especially for a candidate who is willing to say this (emphasis added by me)

". . . And tolerance for pornography – even celebration of it – and sexual promiscuity, combined with the twisted incentives of government welfare programs have led to today's grim realities: 68% of African American children are born out-of-wedlock, 45% of Hispanic children, and 25% of White children. How much harder it is for these children to succeed in school and in life. A nation built on the principles of the Founding Fathers cannot long stand when its children are raised without fathers in the home.

The development of a child is enhanced by having a mother and father. Such a family is the ideal for the future of the child and for the strength of a nation. I wonder how it is that unelected judges, like some in my state of Massachusetts, are so unaware of this reality, so oblivious to the millennia of recorded history. It is time for the people of America to fortify marriage through Constitutional amendment, so that liberal judges cannot continue to attack it."

I did not like the fact that Romney was standard bearer for conservatism--a word I don't entirely find appealing, but I did enjoy that he would always bring the family into his dialog.

What I find so sad is that I could hop on the Barak rock concert if I knew he would be a bigger supporter of marriage, chasity, and personal responsibility. I think Barak would make a good president; however, like so many others he forgets about the small and important elements that make a great society--strong families--especially when his family helped him become the person he is today.
