Far left = total government control. far right = no government at all.
This is the only political spectrum.
Conservatives are moderates because we fully expect individual rights but conceed to the constitutional limited government because humans dont live forever and we are not all born on the same day. We are infinitely coming and going and experiencing different stages of enlightenment internally while simultaneously we are all sharing the experience of the physical space on earth.
You can't approximate people's political views on a single dimension, that's insane and curse the people who taught you this insanity.
Three dimensions may be enough: Authoritarian vs Libertarian, which is government control over individuals. "Left" vs "Right", which is government control over the economy. Progressive vs Conservative, which is how much we tolerate deviants. That is to say, deviation from the moral traditions which have been proven to maintain a strong, healthy society. Some deviation is necessary for improvement, but they never roll back destructive deviation.
Personally I don't find you socially conservative until you're ready to outlaw porn.
And you're not really socially conservative if you want to outlaw porn unless you also want to take women's automatic voting rights away and outlaw adultery.
The religious right would love to ban porn, but as it doesn't say a peep about taking any women's rights away, their agenda is not about building families, it's about totalitarian control over men's sexuality.
