Very true. People who really want fiscal conservatism will have to also accept social conservatism. You cannot have the first without the second.
My big fear with libertarians is that they are simply Liberals -- they want the socially Liberal policies first and foremost, and if they end up not getting fiscal conservatism [shrug] its no big deal to them.
Mom used to say “You can’t legislate morality”. I agree.
I believe it was former Governor Scranton of PA who came up with the notion of being a “fiscal conservative”, a “social liberal”, and “moderate” on most other things. Didn’t work too much for him, as he only ran for governor one and then talked about a presidential convention bid that went flat. Doesn’t he now live in FL, like so many other former PA liberal people?
