-- Social Conservative is code for anti-abortion. --

That, and traditional marriage (viewing homosexuality as aberrant and abnormal behavior); loose divorce; out-of-wedlock childbirth; etc. See too, end-of-life and the view in general that life is a sacred gift.

Then there is the educational component, to teach liberty, to despise democracy and favor a republican form of government. To recognize that government is a necessary evil, and should be kept small. The Republicans are just as keen on micromanaging the economy as the DEMs are. The differences between the parties are more a matter of style and degree, than of principle.

I'd even throw in the avoiding of foreign entanglements, to the "social conservative" bucket.

I defy the folks who decry the Social Conservatives’ influence on the party to come out and argue AGAINST any of those position. They don’t have the guts.
