It is interesting watching halfway house conservatives addressing fundamental conservative values. Here, for example, the author gets it right that ‘family’ is a conservative value. But then, earlier in the same article he adds in ‘gay marriage’ as something that increased the remit of marriage.

So-called gay marriage is contradictory to marriage, and contradictory to family. The very same liberals which he decries here as attacking family led the charge for ‘gay marriage’, which was an ax to the root of conservatism.

"conservatives value family. Unlike the socialists whose collective focuses on work or liberals who find any collective distasteful, conservatives consider that the basic human unit is the family."
