You have defined the market as the focus of conservatism. It is not. Faith, family, and community are the focus of conservatism, not a Social Darwinist "devil take the hindmost" indifference to any consideration but shareholder equity.

I have not. If something is unclear, ask for a clarification. You continue to put words in my mouth, which is becoming offensive.

More declarations. Apparently, that is what attracts you personally to the conservative movement. You have a disagreement with "liberals" in what they do to faith, family, and community. And that, actually, was one of the points I made: when it comes to economics, most self-identified conservatives aspire to socialist ideals. And that is why we have a huge government even with "conservatives" in power, and that is why it is ever increasing.
If you read a little, you'll discover that most thinkers to whom modern conservative point as founding fathers stated in various ways that free markets underly democracy; no freedom is possible unless there is economic freedom. Your statemeny is therefore factually incorrect (it would be correct if it were preceded with "what conservatism to me is...").
not a Social Darwinist "devil take the hindmost" indifference to any consideration but shareholder equity.
I guess you find these words, "shareholders' equity." very intellectual. I have no idea what they do in your post or this discussion.
Let's talk more when you are willing to have a discussion. So far, it was not. As I said earlier, I am not going to reply to words put in my mouth.
Have a good day.
