When it comes to role models, I always follow the principle: "Take what you like and leave the rest." Wagner, for example, was anti-semitic but his music is utterly sublime. You don't have to agree with everything a person says to value his or her positive contributions to humanity.

OK but Churchhill wasn't always a good role model, as he was against granting India its' independance.
