Republicanism and Liberalism

[ICantSpellDawg]

Calm yourself.

Nowhere did I charge social conservatives with being ignorant. Nor that they seek to control everyone's morality.

I simply highlighted the paradox between those who seek limited government and those who seek increased government regulation of morality being in the same camp. I did so in the context of the evolution of party platforms and values.

I'm not seething.

I thought that the point of your "unholy alliance" statement was to suggest that Social Conservatives are big government, big brother conservatives - inherently at odds with fiscal conservatives.

I believe that there is a sensible hands-off brand of domestic social conservatism. If you don't believe that it exists, ask Ron Paul.

Protecting the unborn is a very different point than restricting a woman's right to choose things for herself.
