Which ideology do you prefer between the two?

Liberal-Libertarianism. Social conservatism makes me feel rather uncomfortable.

Being that I am one: Liberal-Libertarianisim

I should have said that too!

The problem I have with social conservatism is that the rhetoric used makes me feel unease; it suddenly becomes 'moralist' and often tried to enforce ideal 'norms' on society. The gay community are often the first to feel the heat when social conservatism is on the rise because they are deemed as 'not normal' or operating outside soicety or outside the family unit. Next it's single parents and divorcees and other family units that do not fit the 'mum, dad 2.4 kids' label.

Conservatism should NOT lead to the supression of anyone, yet social conservatism can do even in it's moderate forms. The very a politician says 'we must protect the family' I usually switch off because I know he will almost exlusively mean the nuclear family and that does a great disservice to single mums and dads who work damn hard for their kids in adverse circumstances.
