We agree on the basic definition of fiscal conservatism, but social Liberalism is all about government interference into your life to make sure Liberal boards have more of a role in raising your kids and influencing your "beliefs" about gays, Muslims and other "special" groups...and making sure you can't smoke anywhere but in a specially-built lead-lined bunker 200 feet under ground.I think you're right. I'd think social conservatism is more close to "keep the government away from me" than what would be considered social liberalism.

"social conservatism" is against things like abortion and gay marriage - "social liberalism" is not. SC puts a high value on traditional ways, SL does not.
Most everyone has an SC streak in them because people generally seek out what is normal to them. They are really SC on the things they value. That's when you see the SC of what we call Liberals today come out - with the "free speech zones" and no smoking laws.
