A lot like old time conservatism because that's the ONLY thing that advocates family values.
Indeed. That's why I'm conservative; however, there's a difference between having a positive view of what you want and knowing what you don't want.

Modern conservatism has a lot of views of what it *doesn't* want. However it offers very little constructive views of what it *does*. Saying single parents and homos are bad is easy. Coming up with a coherent view of a strong family oriented society in the modern world is hard.

How do you come up with strong families when you're constantly moving from place to place with new jobs? How do you take the tide of illegitimate, lonely and neglected children and put them in environments where they can succeed?

The modern conservative answer is to make a bunch of stuff illegal, more government. There's very little work on constructing low level social structures that maintain and perpetuate strong families and stable society.

You are not a conservative. You are a liberaltarian, pro-homosexual marriage, anarchist.

Inquiring minds would like to know what you are doing to practice what you preach. I like what you said.

ROFLMAO

No, you are most assuredly NOT conservative. Whoever told you that (probably a public school teacher) was lying.

And just “who” or “what” do you propose do this work on “contstructing” low level social structures?

What does the gobbledy gook really mean?

I’d say “low level social structures” would be families; no work needs doing to figure out what they are! Mom, Dad, kids, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins...
