Truth telling is the first building block of character -- a quality that seems to be getting rarer and rarer in all-forgiving America.

Liberal hostility to the traditional family helped to undermine centuries of accumulated wisdom and experience about what was best for children and adults. Far from benefiting only men, marriage confers enormous advantages on women and children as well - a fact that has been thrown into sharp relief by its breakdown over the past forty years.

Liberal dominance of important areas of America's social and political life has undermined many of the virtues that have sustained this country.
