I am not agreeing with the premis of this author, which I’ve made clear in multiple posts…..so you and I agree on that….but I do welcome the disucssion….and FTR, you’ve not touched my argument in general. I don’t think you understood it, if you thought I was in any way agreeing with the conclusions of this author.
Re read, re try…..
I disagree with you, you can’t “have economic and fiscal conservatism without social conservatism” in America.
Not only will it be less functional, as you mention, but economic conservatism will disappear entirely, as social liberalism in law and culture breeds an ever more liberal and selfish voting base for the left.
You don’t agree with the author totally, but you do seem to be sharing some of his position.
