There are no "buts" to Conservatism. Not for Family, not for anything. No exceptions. When you find exceptions in the Constitution, please let us know.

[F.J. Mitchell]

You have Conservatism mixed up with Muslimism. Conservatism adheres to the spirit of the law, rather than the letter of the law-our Constitution fully allows for that premise.

I did not place a 'but' anywhere in my explanation. I think morality and love of God and family are at the heart of true conservatism. Our founding fathers made it clear that the system of government they set up would only work as long as we were a people restrained and guided by God's internal moral compass.

It has been the shutting down of that compass that has left us lost and drifting as a nation and has pulled apart the most important and powerful institution in a healthy society...the family.

There are a lot of things that are supported by law but which are still morally wrong. I have said that even though Australian law may allow this man to sue, it does not make him morally right to do so.

If you do not agree that morality in human family relationships means anything then we will never have any basis for agreement.
