I don't know. There's something about the concept of a social conservative who favors freely spending other people's money (i.e., tax dollars) that strikes me as self-contradictory. Isn't social conservatism built on the notions of restraint, self-reliance, and the value of private initiative and property?

My folks are Dem's who are a little socially conservative but love big government.
