SweetBoy said:Whereas there is an ideal set of attributes, the reality is: the concept is fractionated in accordance with the reasons one takes up this political identity. You may be a one-issue religious conservative or more broadly, a social conservative, or a neoconservative, or a libertarian or economic conservative. You may also be a traditional type conservative: low taxes, small government being your preference, although we haven't seen this kind of conservatism implemented since Eisenhower, perhaps. Realities are: there are many things that define a conservative, but there is no monolithic type except idealistically.
As seen by many attempts at this definition, some conservatives may simply define themselves as being against liberal ideals.
No. My definition is pretty much right on.
