“I’ve never heard of a social conservative subscribing to “social Justice”.”
There are some that believe that they are conservative socially yet they want the government to play Robin Hood with other peoples’ money.
“What are the three legs of the conservative stool?”
Social, Fiscal and Defense. I say that we need a candidate in 2012 that nails all three.
That certainly doesn't sound conservative. Government is not a charity. It should never be thought of as such. Not using Government funds to fund abortion would strike me as being more plausably socially conservative.
Social, Fiscal and Defense.
Defense seems like a no-brainer, yet I would disagree to the idea that our defense needs to be used as a tool of foreign intervention to the degree it is being used currently. Fiscal would be nice. And Once Upon A Time I thought that some republicans who were hardly Conservative in regard to the Judeo-Christian ethos had at least some fiscal sense, but I have been proven woefully wrong on that score. As for social, I can see many areas of American culture that ought to be more conservative, but I've also seen some draw a distinction between social and religious conservatism.
