Is it possible to be a ‘fiscal only’ Conservative?

Yes, in the Federal arena, at least.
You see, if the federal government were to stick to the Constitution there'd only be like five or six federal agencies (Army, Navy, Post Office, State dept., Dept. of Transportation, and the IRS.)

Virtually all the social issues are properly the purview of the States under the 9th and 10th Amendments.

I don’t think that’s an unreasoned answer, but I believe that issues have advanced to the point that you have to address them federally, even if it is to demand an end to current practice. Then go back to the state level on many issues.
