There is honey in the jawbone of an ass. 

Which, being interpreted, means that back in the Old Country, friend and coblogger Nathaniel Givens has written an impressive essay guide to standing up for the family.   He assembles a stout array of social science research on the strength of the intact family and sounds a call to action that goes beyond the merely electoral.  Highly recommended.

Here’s a  quote that summarizes the piece:

What does it mean to stand up for the family? It means, first and foremost, recognizing the powerful privilege that being a member of an intact, biological family confers on its members. It means working to strengthen the social scripts that make these benefits widely known and generally accessible. It means lending one’s opinion to policies and attitudes that serve to underscore the importance and blessings of the family.
