You're saying that all conservatives are social conservatives.

Indeed I am, all conservatives are social conservatives. Republicans, as I indicated can be atheists or whatever, but conservatives have to be social conservatives and cannot be atheists. This is not a conservative forum. It may be a Repbublican forum, but not a conservative one.

Sure it is. It's just not a Christian forum.

However, there are plenty of those out there, if that's what you'd prefer.

I've yet to figure out what the creationism vs. evolution debate has to do with "rolling back years of government largesse" however.

What makes you think atheists can't be social conservatives? Do you think the same of agnostics? What about deists?

Historically, fundamentalist Christians have not always been conservative. For example, at the end of the 19th and in the early part of the 20th century, they heavily supported William Jennings Bryan, four-time Democratic candidate for president, who was an economic radical by the standards of the time. Their tendency to vote Republican is comparatively recent. I find it ironic that some of them, unaware that they themselves are comparative conservative newbies, are questioning the conservative credentials as others.

As for myself, I am agnostic, pro-life, pro-family, anti-gay-marriage...any other social conservative issues I need to be questioned on?
