Pragmatism, paternalism, family first. That kind of thing.

 

what does that mean in practice (in law/society?)

 

Pragmatism - nothing too radical, take things as they come, work slowly but surely.
Paternalism - The Government should be a guiding hand, father-like, rather than the more full-on approach.
Family First - Support the notion of 2.4 children born in wedlock. Usually pro-life, anti-divorce, etc.

Also traditional values can include a more conservative fiscal policy, or a more "Christian" way of life (if you get what I mean with that).
