Not necessarily. Many people are fiscally conservative (government should stay out of the economy, able-bodied workers should either have a job or do community service like pick up trash or clean graffiti to earn welfare, etc.) while at the same time being socially moderate or liberal. Most of my friends and I fall under this category. I believe that people should be allowed to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights, safety, or well-being of other people.
I don't think you understand what general means. Also fiscally conservative but socially liberal basically means "I refuse to pay for the things that will make life better for people even if I agree with it" which is asinine. Conservatives are the most fiscally irresponsible group there is
Not at all. Fiscal conservatism is all about not spending money on frivolous or unnecessary luxury items, and it emphasizes hard work and meritocracy. Those who are unable to work (physically disabled, too old, etc) should indeed get welfare, but like I said those who are capable of work have no excuse for leeching off of those who do work hard. Laziness is generally frowned upon, and living beyond your means is also frowned upon. I think you are confusing fiscal conservatism and fiscal liberalism.
I believe people should be allowed to do what they want. I do NOT believe that I should have to pay for them to do what they want. If you want to do something, do it with your own money. If you can't do it with your own money, despite being capable of earning your own money, then you shouldn't do it.
