Family Values

Why is it that you are "sticking up for Family Values" when you rail against gays getting married or adopting, YET, when we question how you can be a Family Values candidate after 2 divorces - we are the ones on the attcak?

How come you shout and scream that Family Values are paramount, YET, when we're questioning a value you've imposed on your family, we're on the attack? You put it out there.

How come Family Values means putting value on a family, YET, you want to destroy so many loving LGBT families?

How come you can quote Family Values as a reason for denying Marriage Equality, yet when we try and point out, that it's because of Family Values that we want to get married and raise kids we're taking things out of context?

How can you say that you are for Family Values and want to "defend marriage," YET only want to keep the LGBT community from getting married? You're not doing anything to outlaw divorces. I mean, we know I'm a slick, NYC liberal, so I might have this wrong, but I think divorce is doing more harm to traditional marriage than the loving gays that want that right.

How can you say you are for Family Values, yet want to cut public assistance? You do know that military families rely on food stamps at twice the rate of civilians? You do know that that assistance is what is helping some families stay afloat during these trying economic times, right? If you cut those programs, you would be hurting those families. How is that Family Values?


How can you say your are for Family Values and not support a woman's right to chose, but then demonize and demean her if she does get an abortion OR if she keeps the child and raises it as a single parent, outside your Family Values? She's in a no win situation.

How can you say you are for Family Values, YET, you try and force YOUR religious beliefs down everyone else's throat? Don't all families have the right to determine their own religion? Or did you mean that only if they chose yours?

How can I have been the product of a traditional family, full of the Family Values you espouse, yet I'm demonized by you now as a threat to society?

How can you say you are for Family Values at all?
