Your article seems to has a major contradiction in my opinion. The first tenet talks about conservatism being religious and even specifically Christian to the point of it rejecting reason as a guiding principle. The forth talks about being for free will. Christianity sufficiently fundamentalist to reject reason seems to me not to allow for free will. Since God in that paradigm is all-knowing and all-powerful. To me these two principles are unreconcilable.Can it be defined? Should it be defined?

Republican and conservatism are no longer synonymous. Perhaps they haven't been in quite some time. True conservatism requires a love so great for the foundations of a civilization one must almost call it awe, even reverence. Conservatism also requires heady nationalism; a river of it running so deep and fast one only has eyes for his own country of birth. Republicans have lost such requirements for being the custodians of conservatism and the democrats outright executed their own necessary love of God and country somewhere prior to 1973 and Roe v. Wade. In short, we need a new party; a party of true love of country and all she stands and ever has stood for.

You appear to be over-thinking the Trump phenomena. Trump is a "moderate" he NOT a "strict conservative". Trump was a NYC democrat most of his life.Not sure how to define conservatism when the leader of the party, the President, is a hyper-Keynesian who doesn't even live by "conservative values". Maybe this is all just bullshit.
Looks to me like what conservatives really want is a pugilistic, nationalistic, authoritarian strongman. That's what they've got now and most of 'em adore him.

Do not call Republicans "conservatives" that could mean "globalist", aka "Never-Trumpers".
Call us New Republicans "populists" and "America Firsters" because our ideology boils down to jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, NOT moving factories to China like the globalists do. Yes you can call us "nationalistic", that is a good thing. Thats why we have so many crossover democrat voters.
Pugilistic?? Think about what Trump had to endure to get to the Whitehouse:
Trump's 1st term was a miracle in itself, the biggest upset in US election history. Hillary and the DNC actually colluded with and paid Russians for "dirt" on Trump, the "Steele Dossier". Obama used the power of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and other Federal agencies to illegally spy on and setup Trump for failure. Operations Crossfire Hurricane and Razor, the Mueller Investigation, Russian Collusion Hoax, the MSM's constant 95% negative coverage and "fake news", Never-Trump Republicans, the Lincoln Project, globalists of every stripe, the entrenched Deep State who all oppose Trump's policies, the planted leakers and whistle-blowers, and the RINOs who'd rather shill for K-Street than work for main street. Then add to all of that the outright hatred shown by the House democrats toward Trump, to the point of "non-crime" Impeachment Articles.
Trump is not an "authoritarian strongman", he has real management experience, something that the DC pols don't have. Most never even ran a lemonade stand, like Joe Biden.
Opposition to anything new
Exactly. The MSM are so used to DC pols rolling over that they simply can't deal with principled tough management, like Trump sticking with Kavanaugh even though the democrats and MSM mounted a vicious smear campaign. Trump won and the democrats lost. Even the conservatives and Never-Trumpers have to respect Trump's USSC picks. If it was up to "strict conservatives" and Trump wasn't the GOP nominee in 2016 the USSC would be run by Leftist judicial activists, because Hillary would have won.You appear to be over-thinking the Trump phenomena.

If you don't roll over and play dead, you are authoritarian. No jobs here folks, here is a tent and a fire bomb, enjoy.
