The man attacked my base that is the Christian Right, what we stand for is far from 1984. But then those oppose Judeo Christian ethics, would not understand that.
Real conservatives want smaller government. Real conservatives don't want to use the government to push through legislation covering some pet peeve just because they can. For example, I hate smoking. However, it would never cross my mind to use the power of government to ban other people from smoking or allowing smoking in their businesses. "Social Conservatives" (really just Southern Democrats captured by Nixon's Southern Strategy) see nothing wrong with using law to force their beliefs on others. Those folks are not Real Conservatives any more than are Radical Environmentalists.
