Exactly so. Being “socially liberal” means expanding govt, and taking money from people to fund “socially liberal” projects. That doesn’t square with “fiscally conservative”. I believe that anyone who claims to be “socially liberal” but “fiscally conservative” is a cheapskate who wants everyone else to fund his pet projects while he buys himself a boat.
Yes indeed and it has become the so called mainstream or centrists ideology that the majority of Americans have been seduced into taking that path to utopia. So those centrist have joined the liberals with the sneer and jeer calling those that are actually rule of law conservatives 'purists' or hate mongers.
