Yeah, certain religious people who want to help the poor and are generous with charity but strict with social regulation.

Anyway, the common phrase is highly contradictory. Our economic system dominates our lives, so it's hard to separate social policy from fiscal policy.

I no reason see why civil liberties and small government can't coexist. Granted, the US is facing some pretty big problems which require big government solutions right now. But still, it's not like the Nordic model is the sole path to a free and equitable society.

You need big government to properly defend the people capitalism.

Or we could get rid of capitalism altogether, then maybe government can actually function without having to yank on the choke chain every five minutes.

Depends on what you mean by "small government". If you mean government small enough to drown in a bathtub, then corporations will run amok with little to no resistance.

Oh. I guess Im socially liberal. Wasn't sure where I get put by making certain jokes with friends. I feel like you can be a certain level of insensitive when you're around friends that know your humor. As long as you can take it back and make fun of yourself as well. I wouldn't make those jokes around someone who would enjoy it too much tho, if you know what I mean.

Whut?

Should there be public regulation of what you wear, what you eat, how you become amused, or who you fuck, or not, and why?
"Socially Liberal" means you don't care as long as there's no real harm to anyone else. "Socially Conservative" means you care because those things can harm society itself somehow.

Ok. I never heard anyone talk about this ever. I don't give a shit to try to control what others do, if it doesn't hurt anyone not directly involved.

They don't understand that government justice is needed to repair government injustice.

They think that we can just stop all oppression cold turkey and then everyone will be fine, ignoring the state that the victims were left in from that past oppression.

Or, the realization that a welfare state and public works isn't actually going to do a hell of a lot to dissolve the various -isms and -phobias.

They're known as Republicans.
