Be wary of conservative Republicans who run for office on the promises of less government, family values, truth, honor, morality, jobs, integrity, and freedom. They should not be preaching rhetoric and bombarding the public with lies that are merely talking points that only serve to deprive women of their right to Sexual Health Care and the right to control what happens to their own bodies. And they should not be proposing and passing legislation, in chambers they control, that create more government for the purpose of depriving average citizens of their money, their right to affordable health care, the freedom to enjoy life's sensual pleasures, and the pursuit of happiness and well-being.
Family values for most Americans means more than some vague morality which every conservative faux moralist pretends to support but never fully defines. Families value many things. Families value well-funded public schools. Families value low cost educational loans so their children can get an education without being buried under life-long debt. Families value affordable health care and the existence of the social security system, medicare, and the United States Postal Service that has served America so well since their births.
Men with families should support values that protect their mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters from intrusion upon their bodies by right wing Republicans and right wing conservatives masquerading as Christians. Do not give these people the right to say what the women you love can do with and to their bodies when it comes to their reproductive rights. Family values include the protection of your mothers, wives, sisters, aunts, daughters, and granddaughters from predatory men who find excuses for violence, rape, and the war against women by predatory men. Family values means that your mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters are protected from lower salaries, impediments to promotion, and harassment from predatory men in the workplace.
A nation that cannot fund itself is a nation in trouble. So if a Republican says he or she supports family values but also support budgets and policies that steal from the the working class and middles class so that wealthy families don't have to pay taxes. then that Republican is a liar and does not support you and your family. They do not support family values.
Wake up America. Family values is not a magic expression which means a politician wants what is best for your family merely because he repeats that expression. Politicians such as we have seen on the conservative right do not support family values. If they did, they would not support budgets and legislation that:
1. Block bills to aid small businesses.
2. Block jobs bills for veterans.
3. Intrude upon what husbands and wives as well as other relationships do in their bedrooms.
4. Lower taxes for the wealthy and increase them on the working class and middle class.
5.Deny you and your family the benefits of affordable health care.
6. Block equal pay for women.
7. Strip medicare and create a voucher system that only benefit corporations but harm your mothers, fathers, grandparents, and ultimately you and your children. Wake up America! It is time for Conservative Americans to get beyond the BS of GOP politicians who feed you with emotional rhetoric which have no meaning for them except for what it compels you to do for the benefit of the Republican Party and predatory wealthy families and corporations.
8. Trample upon the reproductive rights of women who are not wealthy
If you support family values, then support politicians that support your family. Vote Blue. Vote for Democrats who have your back, your family's back, and America's back. Those are real family values.
