IMHO, a conservative is a fiscally responsible individual who embraces the points mentioned above and whose religious and moral preferences are private matters.

That is a very pleasant liberal platitude, but religious and moral preferences are NOT private matters. The existence of God is not a private matter. Murder is not a private matter.

They most certainly are private matters. Not everyone has religious beliefs.
Murder? What are you talking about? I'm talking about the definition of a conservative. Who said anything about murder? Where in the hell did you conjure up anything liberal from the points I mentioned? Are you reading the right post?
