Then I guess he doesn’t understand our constitution, becuase if he did, he’d realize that it is the left (through the courts) which fight for liberal social policy. Have you (and he) forgotten THEY actually started the “cultural wars”, and pushed big government through the couts..(roe v. wade, etc..) not conservatives. If we went back to strict adherance to the Constitution “social issues” wouldn’t be as much an issue on the Federal level!
I for one will NEVER support anyone who is not 1) Smaller government oriented (both fiscally as well as personal liberty)-either libertarian or traditional conservative 2) Is not a Constitutionalist (committe to returning government to the original principles upon which we are founded), and fight government corruption, and 3) Is not “morally” traditionally socially conservative as well.
I personally am a so-con in my own life.
My approach to this issue electorally is essentially “I won’t bother you if you don’t bother me, but don’t expect me to accept nor like what you do”
Am I personally a moral social conservative? Yea, the way I live my life I am. But honestly, on my list of priorities, I don’t care if my neighbor is or not. Doesn’t mean I won’t disapprove
