RE: I’ve always found both fiscal and social conservatism to be intrisically related
Let’s discuss this ( just for the sake of understanding ). Is it possible to be for limited government and yet at the same time, be for gay marriage? ( i.e., what you do with your sexuality is none of my or other people’s business ).
If not, why not?
Obviously, it’s possible for someone to take that position of supporting small-government and be for gay marriage. But, I would not consider such a person a conservative, as their support of society-decaying degeneracy would basically undermine any advantage to having small-government positions. And I would certainly not support or vote for anyone taking those positions. Under any circumstances, no matter how vile the opposition.
