By social conservative
do you mean someone willing to use government force at the federal level to impose your ideals of social norms?
Because that's what's at question here; are you for using the government for things you approve of that the Constitution does not authorize, or are you willing to hold to the Constitutional limitations especially when it is inconvenient for your personal ideals?
A site where Ron Paul and Rand Paul are seen as too liberal.
Actually, insofar as Ron Paul is concerned, the most common complaint I've heard from people here on FR is that his generally isolationist stance on foreign powers is "nuts" — which I find odd, as the whole reason the Congress gets a say in the congressional cabinet positions is to provide moderation to the President.
If you listen to his farewell address I think you'll find the message quite conservative, especially if you contrast it to the norm
of what most congressmen spew.
