“No such thing. You’re either a conservative or you are not.”
Okay, then. Let’s pick an issue: abortion.
Here are some possible positions on the issue of abortion:
1. Abortion should be legal in all cases up to the point of birth.
2. Abortion should be legal through the first two trimesters of pregnancy.
3. Abortion should be legal through the first trimester of pregnancy.
4. Abortion should be illegal except in cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother.
5. Abortion should always be illegal - the right to life is paramount over all other rights.
6. Abortion law is not properly the subject of constitutional “rights,” nor of federal interference. It should be decided at the state level.
#1 is clearly the liberal position. Which is the conservative position? What are the positions in between?
For the record, I’m with #5. How about you?

You have no real idea, do you?!?!?!
You better stay WAY away from this crucial issue with your politics of expediency that suggest we should swarm to the celebrity swooner crowd tromping down to Sodom & Gomorah on the great wide way instead of the righteous conservative straight and narrow!!!
It's obvious to me that you are shilling for Freddie on a paid basis. Go knock on doors in you own community. It'd do more good!!!
Now, I'll just bet you expect me to favor #4 in which case you will exclaim "Aha--gotcha, that's a 'moderate conservative' position because #5 is the only true conservative position".
Nice try at setting the trap, but you are too transparent.
#5 is not the only conservative position, though it may be the most "perfect" conservative position. I would hold that both #4 and #5 are equally conservative positions. #4 is no less conservative because of its very limited and specific exceptions. Those exceptions do not make #4 a "moderate conservative position" (merely a "less than perfect" conservative position) though you will no doubt want to argue otherwise. Your prerogative, but I cannot agree.
