Yep.
Except it's not that they're "liberal" on social issue, it's that they're rather conservative on social issues. No intervention.....stick with the constitution.....that's a conservative ideal.
What's happening now is the word "conservative" has been bastardized to mean being "prude" or "family values" or something, but that's not really what conservativism is....
Imposing that kind of stuff on others is more liberal than anything..... Does that make sense?
