That's not what I observer from social conservatives when it comes to their beliefs. The majority want to use government to force their values on society, like having prayer in public school, fighting the drug war or banning abortion.
Also a majority tend to be rather hawkish and in favor of intervention abroad. Libertarians are in favor of none of those things.
- kerbalspacepro 8y agoYou're right, there's a bit of fuzz there, especially when it comes to foreign policy. I would argue that social conservatives, when pressed on it, only want the government to enforce their point of view because they are otherwise impotent. If you gave them a choice, "Free public school for all, but no prayer in school" or "No free public school, and all the schools are run by your church" their hearts would favor the latter, even if they say aloud the former.
