It's all a smoke screen.

I just re-read it...and it actually doesn't say any of that....it does state..
When my Republican colleagues talk about “family values,” what they usually mean is opposition to a woman’s right to choose, opposition to contraception, opposition to gay rights. Let me today give a somewhat different perspective on family values – on real family values.
as Detbuch pointed out...after reading the article you're still left wondering what "real family values" are according to Bernie
Republicans have been calling themselves the party of family values while carrying out an ideological agenda that weakens and undermines the economic security of the nation’s families.
like welfare?
Republicans oppose any steps that would strengthen families.
huh?
Conservatives hijacked the term family values
(thought the word "hijacked" was banned from political discourse because of the whole terrorist thingy")
there's also the various "attacks" on the family mentioned from things like cancer, babies, the common flu and work commitments(some people refer to this as "life") that are just completely unfair.....
