"Many self-titled "conservatives" on FR and other forums disagree with each other on major issues."

That is not my experience. Many times when you scratch a self-titled conservative you find someone who is really not a conservative at all. Being a conservative on 2 or 3 issues is not sufficient. Going by my circle of friends, all conservatives, we agree on what I call the bedrock issues. By and large, any "disagreements" are on fringe issues and, even then, on the margin.

What are those bedrock issues?

OK. Who who wrote the definition of "Conservative?" Where is it?

IMO, each person has a different minds eye of what makes a conservative a conservative.

Help!!!!!

What would you say are the bedrock issues for conservatives? That's not a rhetorical question; I'm really just asking what you think they are.

My guess is: Pro-life, lower taxes, fewer big government programs, fewer nanny laws, pro-religion-in-schools.

What say you?

P.S. (If so, I'm with you on four of the five above).
