Apparently.

Do you even know what a fiscal conservative is? Are you aware that a lot of Libertarians vote Republican?

I suppose, if I continue your line of thinking, I can say that all Democrats are immoral heathens, despite the fact that I know damn well there are countless (religious and nonreligious) very conservative Democrats.
I am aware of the diversity in the GOP. Politically there is very little. Check the voting records on social issues to confirm. This is a social issue, not a fiscal one, don't try to bring fiscal concerns into the argument to muddy the water, and yes I know what fiscal conservativism is (it's balanced budgets, you know like we had five years ago.) The Republicans declared THEMSELVES that they were elected on the basis of their superior moral standards. You simply cannot have it both ways, you can't simultaneusly attempt to legislate morals including pornography and free speech, and then support the pornographic industry also. You have to take the good with the bad, so if you truely support the current republican regime, that means no more girly mags or internet pron, or backdoor penetration.
