Many columnists who are described as conservative, by themselves or others, are really libertarian. Pat Buchanan is a real conservative and whatever your point of view, he is certainly thought provoking. Have a read, and see what you think.

I have spoken personally with Vern closely over the years.
He is as traditional conservative as you can find,
but the old fashioned kind, where you live and let live,
not the politico type that won't listen to one's own peers and criticisms.
He can work and deal with me, as a prochoice Democrat,
because I am a Constitutionalist first. He does not trust in working
with the Democrats -- because most of them are not all-inclusive as I am
and willing to work with conservatives and Republicans without fear of compromise.
He is as straightforward as you can get,
and I can even explain progressive and liberal issues to him
as long as I explain it CLEARLY using Constitutional or Christian terms he can understand.
He is not adverse to the solutions coming out of the liberal and progressive camps,
he just can't deal with the adverse rejection division and politics that is blocking these very
solutions. We agree on many solutions, but he doesn't yet believe that the members
or leaders of both parties can work together on them because of the division
and demonization of Constitutional principles that could otherwise rise above and resolve partisan conflicts.
He would need to see more proof there can be collaboration
without compromising Constitutional principles before
he would agree to my proposals to have a
Republican President run for office with a Democrat VP.
(I'd also recommend filling out the Cabinet with
Green and Libertarian to cover issues otherwise censored by partisan monopolies
on the democratic process of redressing grievances with govt and
setting up solutions to reimburse credits to taxpayers for corrupt spending)
