I can’t argue that. There are social conservatives that prove the exception to the rule. Huckabee is an excellent example.
I do claim, though, that the best conservatives are both.
This is 100% true .but lets consider FR: here there seems to be a tremendous understanding that if you're not so con, you're not a true con .and that is correct.
Where there seems to be a blind spot on FR - is that there are a lot of so cons who also are not true cons. There are a lot of so con "onlies" who are very willing to throw away limited government and economic conservatism
and when they get this pointed out, they put on their pharisee robes and babble about mammon and so forth
..totally missing the concept of property and liberty, which is what we call the sanctity of life OUTSIDE the womb
.and like life INSIDE the womb, it too is sacrosanct.
Huckabee wasn’t a thorough social or fiscal conservative. He believed in that “compassionate conservatism” (which redistributes wealth from the earners to the parasites), and lets convicted murderers go free to murder again. He was no conservative, not what I have always considered to be conservative. Strong on law and order, always balanced with our God-given rights for the non-criminal, and strong on allowing the earners to keep what they make.
