Originally posted by carpedm9587 View Postit is applied narrowly to one specific type of family, and tears down all others.
If they called it "pro-heterosexual-nuclear-family" or "anti-gay-families and anti-polygamous-families" I could agree that's what it was. But it's not "pro-family" per se, that's just inaccurate.
Conservatives who say they support "the traditional family" are being more accurate I think, though I think it's a bit questionable in regard to whose tradition we are talking about or which period or time is being referred to (some would argue the nuclear family is an invention of the 20th century, and that multi-generational and extended family structures predominated in much of Western society prior to that and hence that almost no US-born evangelicals today have a traditional family structure), but at least it's obvious to everyone what they mean: They are for a particular family structure that they view as 'traditional', and against families who are structured wrongly. But they aren't pro-family in the sense of pushing for policies that are supportive of families in general in the country."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

Still I loved the answer and have used it many different times in a wide variety of different settings and circumstances (though none about drug usage) and have added "or by order of importance"
I'm always still in trouble again
