Social Conservatives whose primary focus is on protecting marriage and banning abortion.

Do you mean the "primary focus" of your life is on "protecting marriage and banning abortion"? Does your belief that the government can, and should, "protect marriage" take precedence over concepts like freedom? Would you agree to any form of government as long as it banned abortion and gay marriage?

These are serious questions. I get the impression from some posters that they would willingly accept a government that would be anathema to conservatives if that government agreed with them on certain social/religious issues. It's not that this is not a legitimate point of view, it's that I don't believe that it is conservative, social or otherwise. I know several liberals who are anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage. They're fine people. They're still liberals.
