To: red meat conservative
I have never met a “socially liberal but fiscally conservative” person. One reason is because often social liberalism leaves many people at the mercy of big government for their care.

Then again, if I meet such a person, and they tell me they favor abolishing Social Security, Medicare, medicaid, etc., maybe I'll believe him.

Just my opinion.

Prime example: mandated medical care.
When I was a kid there was no law requiring a hospital to treat you.
LBJ brought that.

Find one of these dopertarians that wants to end medical businesses being mandated to treat them after they overdose money or not.

Me forced to fund that isn’t fiscal conservatism.

Fair call. Most adults-first libertarians encourage or turn a blind eye to social problems, when the tax bills come in though they do a runner.

It’s always the churches and working class families left with the mess. They’re the ones picking up the pieces.
