Every time I hear this phrase from Republicans, it seems like it's code for "keep the uppity (insert minority group) in their place". What do you think?

Family values and rules vary from one family to the next, one family has kids that can't stay married, while others are in stable relationships for decades.

(255 posts)We were poor as dirt and my parents raised my sister and I in a tiny little cracker box house in Tampa. We didn't have much but we had family. My first wife ran off with a drug dealer and left me with our kids. Current wife and her son joined us to be a traditional family in our own little cracker box house. We like it that way.
