Quote by: big_lefty  Yep. Economic individualism, taken to the ultimate extreme, is indeed anarchy.
Social conservatism, OTOH, requires a great deal of government intrusion into matters that truly are none of the government's concern. |
True, fiscal conservatism taken too far is very dangerous, but I still perfer to be right of center on fiscal issues.

I don't know how the individualists and the conservatives manage to support the same party. How can the more libertarian minded Republicans stand to be associated with the social conservatives, I wonder.

I consider myself a fiscal conservative, but a social liberal. I believe gays should have the right to marry and F#%K eachother in peace, I am pro-abortion (although I won't want any of my children aborted), I am for medical marijuana, actually I support the legalization of all drugs, I support legal prostitution etc.
However, I am driven more by fiscal conservatisim, anti illegal immigration and the war on terror. I care more about those then social conservatism, so I sacrifice my liberal social view for these ones.
