Traditional Family Values

Traditional Family Values – The values, customs, conventions, and norms of the Judeo-Christian tradition inform and guide a free society. Without such ordinances, society induces its decay by embracing a relativism that rejects an objective moral order.

› The family is the foundation of society; therefore, the state should generally encourage its formation and interfere in its function as little as possible. Family unity and inter-dependency is necessary to foster and encourage culture, learning and long-term national stability.

› Parents have serious rights and obligations in the upbringing of their children, including their moral, intellectual and physical development. Government policies should encourage parental rights to direct the upbringing of their children, unless the health and safety of the child is at risk because of bad parenting.

› Marriage is intended to be a permanent relationship between one man and one woman and is a foundation for healthy and stable families.

› Human life is sacred and inviolable from conception to natural death.  Protection for the unborn and elderly, as well care and compassion for the sick and infirm, are essential elements of a culture of life and necessary for the health of civil society.

› Traditional American ideals must be preserved and impressed upon each generation.  Duty, honor and love of country are some of those values, but equally important are the pursuit of justice and equality before the law.
