Which is exactly why the left uses times like this to push their liberal social agenda.
And for the record, even in the best of times the libertarians and RINOs are always trying to silence social conservatives.
As I posted earlier if this country goes down the tubes financially, the last thing people will have a concern with is abortion and gay marriage. They will be worrying about where their next mouthful of food comes from.
You are making a typical libertarian mistake in trying to separate the two.
Prior to the breakdown of morality, America didn't have the fiscal problems it does today.
Nations prosper when they have normal population growth, they perish when population growth is interfered with.
The financial problems we are facing with the aging Baby Boomers is a direct result of over 50 MILLION consumers and taxpayers being murdered.
We are both conservative..I just place economic issues first(smaller gov't, less taxes, less instrusive gov't) and social issue second mostly due to what I believe above.
A baby is murdered EVERY 20 SECONDS and this has been going on for nearly 40 years, were it not for this there wouldn't be any dire economic issues.
Far from it, I wish the social conservatives would spend a lot more time trying to win over moderates and liberals to their side. It would be a good thing for the country, and it would be the only way that the changes they would like to see are ever going to be made.
Most of the so-cons I see here on FR seem to want spend all day standing around in a hermetically sealed choir room, speaking only to their fellow members.
And for the record, even in the best of times the libertarians and RINOs are always trying to silence social conservatives.

I can't recall a period since I have been on this site when that was not the case.
How do you explain the great Depression of the 1930's and earlier depressions? We had pretty good morals back then. Read up on the horrendous economic depressions of Panic of 1837 (leading to a six year depression - from 1837-43, Panic of 1857 Panic of 1873 ** Panic of 1893. Those 1800's depressions were terrible.
The financial problems we are facing with the aging Baby Boomers is a direct result of over 50 MILLION consumers and taxpayers being murdered.
Please take an basic college Econ 101 class and it will explain why we have the problems we have today. Hint: gov't regulation forcing co's to move overseas, globalism so that America is competing with lower wage countries,gov't out of control with spending, many other issues. There are countries with high birth rates who are having the same economic problems we are.
Nations prosper when they have normal population growth, they perish when population growth is interfered with.
Our nation has had normal population growth through births and immigration-legal and illegal.
A baby is murdered EVERY 20 SECONDS and this has been going on for nearly 40 years, were it not for this there wouldn't be any dire economic issues.
Again, why did we have serious economic depressions when our birth rate was high?
