Does this sound like a website run by true conservatives?
“In 2012, David Brooks characterized the magazine as a paleoconservative publication, writing, “The American Conservative has become one of the more dynamic spots on the political Web. Writers like Rod Dreher and Daniel Larison tend to be suspicious of bigness: big corporations, big government, a big military, concentrated power and concentrated wealth. Writers at that Web site, and at the temperamentally aligned Front Porch Republic, treasure tight communities and local bonds. Theyre alert to the ways capitalism can erode community. Dispositionally, they are more Walker Percy than Pat Robertson.”[14]”

If David Brooks likes them, then no, they are not conservative.
