RG III, Not Bill Clinton for Father of the Year!

 

By Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison

 

Sometimes, committees simply lose their minds. This is clearly the case with the National Father's Day Council. The council has, unbelievably, voted to make Bill Clinton Father of the Year. What were they thinking? Perhaps they wanted to smooth the political waters and help clear the air of partisan hostility.

If we are looking for model fathers to honor, we can surely look to Robert Griffin, Jr., the estimable dad of Washington Redskins quarterback, Robert Griffin III. A veteran Army NCO, Robert Griffin, Jr. coached his talented son on the field and off. He helped to guide "RGIII" on the straight path to success in sports and in life. Giving his son a name to be proud of, Robert Griffin, Jr., certainly deserves to be the Father of the Year, this year many years.

 

We do not want to be harsh and censorious toward Bill Clinton. We do believe in the healing power of redemption. Every one of us has fallen short of the high purpose God has for our lives and the high standards we hold for ourselves.
