That bit of nonsense shows where this author is coming from. What a twit he is.
I agree with you, but from a different direction, sorta. It is "boilerplate" unless "right-wingers" consistently take a stand for family (and individual) freedom and responsibility, against the encroachments of government.
I don’t see why you blame Rod for pointing out the obvious fact that a great many people in today’s society think any appeal to the importance of demographics or families is just “right wing boilerplate,” and as such should be ignored.
I don’t agree with them, you don’t agree with them, and I don’t think Rod agrees with them, but they are a major force in our society, and they are completely dominant in Europe.
