The question was: What is your alternative.

Rom 1:25-27
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
NIV

How'bout NOT exchanging the truth of God for lies - especially the lies being peddled by the Log Cabin "Republicans" Fiscally "Conservative" Judas goats. The Log Cabin crowd rejects such "litmus tests" in favor of their (your) own subjective NewSpeak definition of conservatism - one that is tolerant of homosexuality and the abomination of nature.

Yes, fiscal conservatism is part of being conservative - but without SOCIAL conservatism to constrain its appetites, it becomes nothing more than the usual systemically corrupt worship of Ba'al and the Golden Calf.

It's like that time when...

"Hey, Moses has been up on that hill an awful long time - he and his God must be dead; so let's just throw all our gold into the fire and worship what comes out, again."

It's a Ba'al out, get it? { badumpump }

This isn't an either proposition. Do you or do you not accept fiscal conservatism as an essential tenet of conservatism?

As you are too much of a chickenshit to answer my original question, I will answer it for you: The alternative to fiscal conservatism is some degree of socialism. In other words, the opposite of conservatism. So, while I previously noted that the abortion issue was the only ABSOLUTE deal breaker as far as I was concerned, it was only because I never imagined anyone would be stupid enough to argue against fiscal conservatism on this website.

I know plenty of naive people in my church who are across the board conservatives on social issues, but the are fiscal socialists due to a misinterpretation of the New Testament. Do you know what that makes them? Liberals. Just like you apparently.
