There is no real division between fiscal and social conservatism. That’s just one more leftist creation to infect the right. Find me a fiscal conservative who considers themselves moderate on social issues, and I’ll show you a liberal.

Seems to me that some folks just don’t realize they’re on the wrong side.

Free enterprise without a solid underpinning of moral character becomes crony capitalism, then morphs into government slavery.

The two issues are one. Free market economics can't thrive as a system without honor and integrity.

Unfortunately, we are demonized by the leftist media when it comes to social issues. Just like all this nonsense about wanting to ban contraception. But enough people buy into it.

We need to keep the economy & the $15 trillion dollar debt front & center of the debate. Simply dismiss their attempts to bring up other issues as what it is, an attempt to deflect the argument from Obama’s failed policies. Later, when we’re in power, we can make a strong case for changing welfare & other programs based on the harm they cause. It’s all timing.

Find me a social conservative who considers themselves moderate on fiscal issues, and I’ll show you liberal as well.
