"Social cons may be against abortion but many favor the nanny state and entitlements."

please provide some evidence to back up that statement. (And no I would have no problem with low tax people handing out leaflets at a pro-life rally - I welcome all conservatives to the table)

I think by definition if they favor the nanny state and entitlements, they aren’t really social conservatives.

Whether they think they are, that may be what’s going on. But I would regard them, at the very least, as social moderates.

It is really disastrous what we have done under the guise of ‘government compassion’. Two words that should never be next to each other. Government has no capacity to be compassionate. Government compassion is taxes. How much compassion do you feel when the government legally takes money you have earned and gives it to other people?
