1: For a Bush it's, 'If your family isn't the Bush Family, it has no value'.

2: For a RWN (right wing nut) it's 'If your family isn't like our image of a family, it has no value'. Incidentally, if you are a RWN you don't have to PRACTICE family values, just preach them. Morality is a matter of 'Do as I say, not as I do'.
