A growing awareness of the depth of popular attachment to the family has led some liberals to concede that family is not just a buzzword for reaction.

Environmentalism opposes reckless innovation and makes conservation the central order of business.

The left dismisses talk about the collapse of family life and talks instead about the emergence of the growing new diversity of family types.

The left ask people to believe that there is no conflict between feminism and the family.

Conservatives have no understanding of modern capitalism. They have a distorted understanding of the traditional values they claim to defend.

Because it equates tradition with prejudice, the left finds itself increasingly unable to converse with ordinary people in their common language.

Instead of taking environmentalism away from the left, conservatives condemn it as a counsel of doom.
