So, you consider fiscally conservative and socially liberal to be an oxymoron, too? You can’t have it both ways.
If you can’t be socially conservative and fiscally liberal and still be a true conservative, then you can’t be fiscally conservative and socially liberal and be a true conservative.
IMHO, you must be conservtive on both to be a true conservative.
IOW, libertarians (for example) are not true conservatives.
“If you can’t be socially conservative and fiscally liberal and still be a true conservative, then you can’t be fiscally conservative and socially liberal and be a true conservative.”
I would say that is an axiom beyond reproach. That gets me back to my point that most social conservatives are also fiscal conservatives, and that, apart from Huckabee’s Willy Horton moment, is what will prevent Huckabee from getting the next Republican nomination. But, that’s something that can wait. Personally, I don’t think he will run.
