Without strong families, you can’t have free markets or limited government. Instead, you get ‘The Life of Julia.’” This is a reference to a slide-show advertisement from President Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign that treated a fictitious woman’s cradle-to-grave dependence on government as a triumph of progressivism.
and my favourite quote:

Thank you, Julie. I need to grab hold of that role more firmly and really own it! I do love Jennifer Roback Morse. And Mary Eberstadt, while we are at it. And others! There are American role models to look up to… who would we say are the Canadian voices?
