1.) Pro-Life/Pro Death Penalty (There's a lot of Catholics that are anti-abortion while also disagreeing with the death penalty. Rick Santorum and Chris Smith being two who come to mind)

2.) Small Government/Government should be involved in all social issues. (Government shouldn't regulate corporations, it should regulate uteri, gays, and Terri Schiavo.)

3.) Small Government/Approval of NSA, PATRIOT ACT, ect. (Out of the Republicans who voted for Amash-Conyers, half of them voted because they are pro civil liberties, half would vote against it if it was a Republican president running the NSA. This is also true of the Democrats who voted for Amash-Conyers, but that's less of a idealogical inconsistency)
And you know this exactly from....?
Living through the Bush era?
