How can one be a fiscal conservative and a social liberal? Is that not an oxymoron?

Absolutely not. If one believes in individual rights, then one would believe in property rights as a part of that- property in this case being the fruits of one’s labor. At the same time- individual rights means socially being liberal in that you have the right to make whatever decision within the law that are available to you, and not interfering with the choices of others that are likewise within the law but different from your choices.
