Fiscal policies are what is taking this country down. Paul is the man to fix the problem at hand. Imposing social conservatism through legislation is just as unconstitutional as imposing social liberalism through legislation. Our culture needs to be repaired but not through legislation.

Yeah all those ridiculous attempts to end slavery in America through legislation did absolutely nothing. Silly Republicans, passing that whole 13th amendment thing. Stephen A. Douglas so much smarter.

Social liberalism was imposed via judicial activism far more than legislation. There was no law legalizing abortion, for example; only a major judicial ruling that struck down state abortion laws.
Our Founding Fathers were social conservatives, as was Abraham Lincoln. They warned against social liberalism creeping in, because its very existence was what the Constitution could not even govern:

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”

George Washington, 1796

“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

John Adams, 1798

“The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”

John Adams, 1813

There's another one that is often attributed to James Madison, “Cursed be all that learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ.”
