Beat me to it. This is the basic Libertarian philosophy.

I disagree with it. Social Conservatism is indispensable. I will not support someone who is socially liberal.

If you had a category for Socially Liberal, Fiscally Conservative, and Mentally Unsound, then yes.

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.

Paul is pro-life. The only example I can perhaps think of is Peter Schiff - who yes, I know is know has not yet been elected - and even him I’m not really certain. I just have never heard him comment on any non-economic issue, implying that at minimum he doesn’t care too much for such subjects.

In any event, liberty and the pursuit of happiness don’t make up a complete political philosophy - which is why opposition to abortion is the true libertarian position.
