A social conservative is just that - a social conservative. A person with a traditional view on moral issues. That doesn't mean they want to legislate on those things. The point is, when you alienate them, you get big-govt leftists who are more likely to legislate on social issues anyway.
Amen!
I'm about as libertarian in thinking as you can get.
Here in NV we have legal prostitution and so far marriage has survived, though before I ever support gay marriage with a vote I want national reciprocity & an end to the NFA.
I really am unconcerned with whatever gay/bi people call their relationships-none of my business I figure-but until they get behind my 2A rights They aint getting my vote.
I am against abortion however, even as a punker/hippie anarchist liberal agnostic I was against it, now that I'm "conservative" I still am.
100% for total drug legalization, sick and tired of the war on rights disguised as a drug war.
YET I always seem to vote with the social conservatives even though, I guess technically, I'm not one, when they get attacked in the/by the media/gov't industrial complex it angers me-so they end up with my vote.
