Paul Singer, the target of this article, is a fiscal conservative and a social liberal.

He contributed $1 million to Romney's 2012 campaign - less than one half of one percent of the $284 million Romney raised.

"...a fiscal conservative and a social liberal."

I know many claim to be that, but I think, in the long run, it's an untenable position, and when push comes to shove, they will invariably come down on the side of liberalism.

For me, at any rate, the attraction of conservatism is its intellectual and philosophical consistency across all aspects of life and government. Frankly, a fiscal conservative believes in lower taxes based on the sanctity of the individual and his entitlement to the fruits of his own labor, and the freedom and responsibility to make choices and accept the consequences of them. It takes more than a few philosophical contortions to state you believe in those things, and then, for example, support the wholesale slaughter of unwanted children.
