Okay. I'll grant you that one. You'd have to pay for a few more vice cops. As a profoundly religious homeschooling mom I spend my days with social conservatives. Within that group I know of no one who drinks irresponsibly nor uses drugs, nor gambles, nor has their children in public school, nor is on welfare, nor has been incarcerated, nor has a social disease, and I include the teenagers in that. None of the husbands is unemployed. All are net taxpayers into the treasury. IMO, not a bad tradoff for a few more vice cops.
You want to reduce government spending? Pray for more social conservatives. We're easy on the public purse.
They're talking about content filtering the internet. "Just a few more vice cops" is a gross oversimplification.
When social conservatives firmly renounce the use of government coercion, get back to me.
I'm a fiscal conservative and my wife is as liberal as they come, yet no one in our household uses drugs, gambles is on welfare, has been incarcerated or has a social disease and we both have great jobs. Having support for a strong, healthy family and good work ethic isn't something that social conservatives can claim exclusive ownership of. It is our understanding of the outcomes of policy and the effects government power that those on the right tend to squabble over.
