If you want a dictionary, I suggest wikipedia.

Interestingly, that's a good idea.

Wikipedia lists:

Schools of Conservatism
• Cultural Conservatism
• Religious Conservatism
• Fiscal conservatism

Now ya see, 'cultural conservatives' are but one type of conservative. So when they say, "If you don't agree with us on this issue, even if you're a fiscal conservative, you're not a conservative" that's rather arrogant of them. That's them trying to redefine what 'conservative' means.

The "only real conservatives" club. ;-D

Actually, Rudy is not a fiscal conservative either. Its just empty words. His borrowing left his successor with a $4.5 billion budget deficit only eighteen months after Rudy sat on a $3 billion surplus. Then he added 25,000 employees to the city's payroll, many of them patronage hires, after promising to cut the work force as a candidate of fiscal conservatism. On the day he left office, the head count of city workers was the highest in history.
