Fiscally conservative because they don't want anyone taking their money for any reason. Socially liberal because they want to be able to do and say anything they like without consequences. (i.e. shamed out of the community). That isn't conservative. Try mentioning Gary Bauer in mixed company sometime. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, Mr. Cliché-Man
Socially liberal means I think other people's lives are not my business.

You missed the "they" in my comment.
I do use Cliché's sometimes when they serve my purpose. :-)
P.S. I am on your side.
