"I'm in the main stream, and I won't be marginalized."

You will when the mainstream drifts back over closer to the center again.

My point is that fiscally conservative/socially liberal, small "l" libertarian IS the center these days.

The majority of Americans think the same way I do about the topics I mentioned.

80% of Catholics think abortion should be legal in some circumstances, as do 90% of Protestants. On that issue, that's quite a majority.

The majority of Americans (about 70%) think that homosexuality should be legal and that homosexuals should not be discriminated against, but also not have special rights. About 90% think homosexuality should be decriminalized. Again, quite a majority.
