The father of one of my son's friends is a great guy, but has no filter and uses words around kids that make me blush at times. Some of his favorites are cocksucker, whorebag, and #^&#^&#^&#^&. I'm no prude, but I try to be careful around kids. I actually had to ask this guy to watch it around my son because he'd come home from their house and say "Dad, ______'s father said a bunch of bad words. I was glad that he knew better, but then realized he picked up things from me that he shouldn't say. A girl who sits at his table at school told on my son's friend for using the "s" word (same kid with the dad who swears a lot). My son told her "snitches get stitches" and she told on him. I had to have a talk with his teacher about it because he told her he picked that up from me.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
