...social Conservatives in particular are not purists regarding government intervention, especially when they perceive a threat to the greater good of the citizenry.

In other words, "social conservatives" admit that they are pet program socialists.

Not at all. I think it means "social conservatives", have a deep rooted personal understanding and appreciation for traditional beliefs and values that stipulate, human beings follow a code, that distingishes, what is right from what is wrong. Social conservatives have a deep moral and spiritual compass, that promotes a society based on the principle of law and order, and not, chaos and anarchy.
