No, just look at how people vote.

People who are indifferent to or opposed to social conservatism, are democrat voters.

If a guy is OK with gay marriage, drugs, abortion, etc. then chances are overwhelming that he is a good liberal.

Get a guy that libertarians mock, a social conservative, regardless of his income, and he will almost always be a right winger, a real conservative.

Take any group of children and raise them as poor social conservatives, you get conservative voters, raise them with any income, low or high, accepting of drugs, hookers, gay marriage and abortion etc, and you will have bred a bunch of liberals.

Who is doing the rearing - family or government? Libertarianism seeks to root out the influence of the state into family life. Educators should stick to knowledge, not indoctrination. The more we can pull back the tentacles of the state, the better chance Christians have of rearing Godly offspring.

Given this, we're much better off with a legislator who is excellent and consistent with affairs enumerated in the constitution so we can live a prosperous life of liberty - then we are with someone who purports to be "conservative" but imposes their ideas of society outside of constitutional restrictions. Wasn't GWB great? Born again, "social conservative" - gave us Medicare Rx, no child left behind, Homeland Security, Patriot Act, 2 expensive wars, market meltdown, nuclear armed kooks, massive debt/deficit, then his crowning achievement - Obama (there were a few good things, but erased by major bad stuff).

One is not "OK" with drugs because one recognizes that the only demonstrable effects of the War on Drugs are to hyperinflate drug profits, channel those profits into criminal and terrorist hands, and violate individual liberties.
