"The reason it gets confusing is that a loud vocal portion of the 'Conservative' movement aren’t really Conservatives. They are Reactionaries.

You can recognize the Reactionaries. They are the ones who oppose any change ever. They never support anything, they merely complain about everything."

You certainly have some strange political definitions, but I'm not at all surprised since your main criteria to qualify for being "conservative" seems to be support for RINOs and remaining a Bush-bot.

MNJohnnie seems to have an older view of conservativism--which was more libertarian. Many social conservatives wouldn't fully fall into 'conservative' according to that view.

Personally support the federal government banning all abortion except for a BIG risk to life. This would be against a traditional conservative view--a libertarian one--but consider stopping the murder of millions, at least in this country to be a valid use of a strong government. If the United States had the power to ban such frivolous (and they are frivolous unless it is to preserve life) abortions globally, akin to the British Empire banning the slave trade, and eventually slavery in its empire, would support that, too.
