Now that the elections are over, people will sit back and analyze what the figures mean.

Unfortunately, people sneer and state, "This ain't 'Leave It To Beaver' or 'Father Knows Best' anymore."

I think it's unfortunate that the portrayals of this lifestyle are mocked. The term father is rarely used anymore having been replaced with "baby daddy." I wish more people would recognize the importance of fathers and families and how important this kind of life is in making the core of our nation strong.

Children need love, guidance, hope and structure. They get that from a strong family unit. Sit down to family dinner, play catch in the backyard, get some cookies baking in the oven (Pillsbury is fine).

Let's take some of those values and ideals, update and tweak them with diversity and come up with a plan to get the USA back on top.
