The two are not mutually exclusive and are in fact usually complementary. Most socially liberal policies require the expenditure of large sums of money. Most socially conservative policies are commonsense, and relatively cheap. For example cutting off funding for abortion, NPR, PBS and the NEA are both morally desirable and fiscally responsible. Support the action for whatever reason you like as the action is the same regardless. Taking away peoples rights requires either enforcement (secret police = expensive) or a bribe (social programs = very expensive). It turns out giving people their liberty is darn near free from the Government's POV.

You’re absolutely correct. My problem is that the so-called social conservatives have proven that on fiscal matters they spend as much as Democrats.

Our local fishwrap doesn’t like my candidate because as a congressman he didn’t bring enough pork to the district and they questioned how a conservative could be opposed to helping the folks. It’s the typical liberal game of setting the shifting parameters where a conservative can never fall within them.

In reality my candidate simply feels that we should take no more from government than we give and giving less to government leaves us with more to do with as we wish.

I don’t quite get what your point was... not forsing any thing on any one... but.. Absolutes are absolutes. Truth is truth. Morality transcends the vain imaginations of godless man, and natural laws must always prevail as they are relevant and absolute... that’s what I’m saying..
