Not Paul Ryan! It is very annoying to see the term so misused. He is really a disciple of Ayn Rand and sort of follows a wishy-washy version of objectivism. You can argue that European governments like Denmark are mostly fiscally conservative and socially liberal - both are possible under one roof if that is where your values are.. I'm probably in that camp, although there are no elected representatives in the US who are - at least at a national level.
