No, there is not.
Forgot to mention I am also opposed to abortion—a key tenet ib being socially liberal.
Exactly! And it is the same reason that this 'equation' is true:
Besides losing your soul to Satan, you could lose your country if you allow blasphemy's to be preached from your pulpit. We will return to irrelevance if that happens.
Obviously, there should be no separation of church and state. God should be central in EVERYTHING you do.
Social liberalism is liberalism, period. Social liberalism costs big time; if not today, then down the road.... but it costs.
Christian liberalism in the aspect of giving is always voluntary; no compulsion from either the state or from any organized religious hierarchy. Second Corinthians calls it “liberality,” which is too obviously defined from the context as voluntary giving from the heart. This is of course, a Christian grace encouraged by the Scriptures and prompted by the Holy Spirit.
Government, pretending to be God and Robin Hood all at the same time, strips ability from the citizens to be liberal in the (voluntary) giving to the needy, and it also strips away our resources to properly plan to take care of our own elderly. Government, therefore actually encourages selfishness, greed, graft, and irresponsibility.
1)I don’t care what an individual does in the privacy of their own home whether watching porn or playing bongos naked.
2) You want an abortion...fine...you pay for it...and don’t ask for my social approval.
3) If you privately engage in risky sexual behavior and are disease ridden, don’t ask me to pay for your health care.
4) Fry your brains with pot, don’t ask me to fund your rehab.
5) Do the crime, do the time
6) Success is determined on ones own merits, not the color of ones skin.
7) Don’t like guns???...then don’t buy one and don’t tell me I cannot have one.
8) Don’t like Rush Limbaugh??? then don’t listen....
9) Don’t tell me about the twig in my eye when there is a log in yours.
10) Those without fault...feel free to cast stones!!!
They'd be the ones who are against the war but support the troops.
Or the ones who didn't inhale.
We know a couple, who have proudly bragged about being Fiscal Conservatives and Socially Liberal.
They have been hit hard by the financial meltdown and owe everyone they could get a loan from with zero payments in over a year. They haven’t paid a mortgage payment in about two years.
Now the husband appears to have a Sugar Mommy over 800 miles away, where he is supposedly starting a new business. He goes there for a couple of weeks at a time and doesn’t call or contact his wife during his travel. He is never where, he is supposed to be. The public agencies in the far away city, which he supposedly is setting up training programs for, don’t know who he is, or anything about his so called company.
The wife complains that that he doesn’t give her any money, she doesn’t have money for groceries, and it costs $70 to fill up her 2 year old Mercedes. When we suggest that she sell her expensive Rolex and similiar items, which she still has, her eyes get glassy and she ignores us and others with similiar suggestions. Supposedly, no one wants to buy her Mercedes.
In retrospect, she was a peacenik hippie re made in to a high society liberal and supposedly financial conservative.
He is a real chameleon and is probably a liberal libertarian with out the camo.
The two are mutually exclusive......incommensurable.....in other words,
BULL$HIT
Yes....It’s called a RINO-yoyo.
FYI, Ron Paul is also a Conservative socially as well as fiscally. As an Obstetrician who has delivered thousands of babies, he is 100% Pro Life for example.
He is very popular in his District usually winning with over 70% of the vote in one of the most Conservative Districts in the United States.
I happen to live in that District and he is my Congress Critter.
That question could be cut in half and still be valid.
LOL!
Wrong. We believe in Judeo-Christian values which are the founding principles of our nation. Lose this and you lose your soul. No rights are UNLIMITED.
We have free speech but that doesn’t mean you can yell fire in a crowded theatre if there is no fire.
We have the right to keep and bear arms but that doesn’t mean you can keep a tank in your garage.
We have the right to do what we want with our bodies but that doesn’t mean we have the right to kill innocent human life.
And if something isn’t specifically mentioned in the US Constitution, that means that the states have the right to pass legislation regarding it.
Your “right” to an abortion is not protected in the Constitution.
Your “right” to smoke pot is not protected in the Constitution.
Your “right” to look at child porn is not in the Constitution.
Your “right” to to visit a prostitute is not in the Constitution.
Your “right” to marry just anyone you want is not in the Constitution.
If it is not mentioned in the Constitution, that means states and localities have every right to make laws about it.
There is always the Higher Power we must be accountable to. A society based on secular values and materialism is doomed to destruct.
When a politician is socially liberal, they spend public money on those causes. THAT is not fiscally conservative.
Good to know he is pro-life. Some libertarians to their credit are. What his Ron Paul’s position on ghey marriage?
Liberals seem to be in favor of government intrusion in all possible areas of life except sex and drugs. That's not necessarily hypocritical, but it does seem odd to me that these areas are picked out as the most important and therefore deserving of maintaining liberty.
If the freedom to screw around and dope yourself up without consequences is the most important aspect of freedom to you, there's something wrong in your life.
And, FYI, whether the government gets involved or not there are almost always negative consequences to such behavior.
Without the discipline imposed by social conservatism, which should ideally come from individuals rather than the government, the society will slowly collapse, making interventions necessary that will quickly destroy a fiscally conservative policy.
He believes the government should not be involved in marriage and it should be left to the churches.
No.
Your fiscally conservative pockets are constantly being picked to fund your stupid socially liberal projects.
