2) There are many conservatives that are fiscal conservatives, but not social conservatives

The word Conservative requires no modifying adjective because it means both fiscally and socially conservative. What you describe here, as I pointed out before, is a liberaltarian.

The left hijacks enough terms of art as it is, as I see it there's no need for the liberaltarians to do the same.

Okay, I can understand that term for a person who has sound fiscal policies, but is more libertarian on the issues of abortion, same-sex marriage, religious freedoms, etc.

But what do you call a person who is a strong opponent of abortion, same-sex marriage and strongly supports such things as prayer in schools and the posting of the 10 Commandents . . . . however, does not mind the federal government spending like crazy and running up the debt and thinks that open borders aren't a bad idea?
