Happy Fathers Day

Let me extend a wonderful salute to all of the fathers and grandfathers of the world.

I want to pay special attention to the "cubanos", all of those fathers who brought us here years ago. They paid a heavy sacrifice to come here. They had to work hard.

So let me say thank you to my dad and my two uncles, who are part of the group.

I want to say thank you for standing up to Castro. Thank you for bringing us here. Thank you for all of the hard work.

My brother, sister and I were very lucky to have such a responsible father. He taught us good values. He also treated my mother with respect.

Happy Father's Day.

The biggest social problem in the US is the absence of responsible fathers. We don't need more legislation or some liberal plan to save us from ourselves.

We need more men to be responsible fathers. We need for men to stand up and be real men, and that means being a responsible father!

We have gone from the responsible Mr. Cleaver to the travesty of Mr. Simpson. It is a sickening decline.

In the mid-90s, David Blankenhorn wrote "Fatherless America". This book should be read by every one. It should be required reading.

Later in the 90s, David Popenoe published "Life without Father".

The facts are alarming.

4 of 10 children will go to bed tonight without a father. They have video games and a full stomach but they don't have a father.

The worst part is that 25% of our kids are born out of wedlock. This is a very special problem among blacks.

Remember the "Murphy Brown" spat between VP Quayle and Hollywood? The Hollywood liberals beat up VP Quayle for being antifeminist. Yet, the liberal Atlantic magazine published a lead story the next year called: "Dan Qualye was right".

Fathers are important and necessary. The two parent home is the best welfare program in the world. We need a culture that promotes marriage and responsible parenthood.
