What are Virginia "values?"

If you look at legislation that's been supported by that local paragon of values--the Family Foundation--and policies supported by GOBs (Good Old Boys, which includes some girls), you'd conclude it's low taxes, free enterprise, traditional families, parents' rights over teen girls, gun rights, the death penalty, and a Commonwealth free of sex offenders and people who are gay and/or support legal equality for all.

But, there's more. Take the Spotsylvania police engaging in sex acts with prostitutes in order to catch them "in the act." Here'a another side of Virginia values--law enforcement making up the rules, in this case anything to get rid of illicit sex. Then there's the state legislator whose gun discharged in his office--guns wherever we want them, and what the heck, we have the death penalty in case things go really bad. 

What does the Family Foundation have to say?
