OK, I buy that.
Now, why does the "social conservative" require the modifier "social" in front of "conservative".
As you have noted, I do have disdain toward what I *think* that modifier implies, but I'm now asking you to tell me what you think.
Why "social conservative"? Why not simply "conservative"? What's the difference?
I've already told you what defines social conservatism. For your information, the vast majority of FReepers are social conservatives. The same holds true for the GOP`s voter base. So the contempt you have towards social conservatives flies in the face of reality. You're at odds with the well established agenda of this political forum and the GOP in general. You can forget about throwing social conservatives overboard. Ain't gonna happen.
