I am not an EXTREME Right Winger but I am way right of center. I am a Christian, a gun owner, I support the constitution, I'm a patriot, I favor smaller government, tighter borders, personal responsiblity, etc. Yet Pat Buchannan (sp) irritates the crap out of me, but I like Zell Miller.

We have similar preferences. As far as Zell goes, from my perspective, it's grading on the curve.

Do these nuances prevent me from calling myself a conservative?

People who have precisely the opposite of your preferences also call themselves conservatives, hence my comment.

I'm certainly not a liberal.

I am, a classical liberal. Before they perverted the word it was a good thing.

True.
