What are you presuming here? I am asking an honest question because it is not clear to me (or I think a lot of people) what a “conservative” is. I also honesty think it is becoming more and more a term with an entirely subjective definition depending on who you ask.
People scream bloody murder about “conservative” but when asked what it means they seem lost on the subject.
People need to know what they are for and against and why, not just follow the crowd, which at least some of this seems to be about. Seems to me if someone calls himself a conservative he should at least know what that means at least in their own mind or in terms of what they stand for and why.
Maybe there is no “objective” definition, but everyone talks about it like there is an objective definition and we all know what it is.
Why are you unwilling to give your definition?
