But a lot of people who identify themselves as conservatives favor criminalization of drugs, wiretaps without warrants, mandatory education, massive taxation to subsidize armaments manufacturers and a plethora of other things that lead to a reduction of freedom and expansion of government both in size and control.
I think your definition comes closer to libertarian than what most conservatives consider themselves.
I am a libertarian, I wouldn't be ashamed of that definition....
