I read it. You don’t sound much different from me.

Hard Core Conservative. No middle ground. No Moderate or Liberal ground. No quids, pros, or quos. Unyielding, unwavering. As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Beginning and End of story.
No abortion.
Pro death penalty.
No gay marriage.
No federal government run education.
No taxation without representation, which comes from having a full time elite political class.
I will not make a blanket statement about drugs. Some of the legal drugs they have foisted on us are just as addictive, just as lethal, just as dangerous, if not moreso.
And some of the drugs declared illegal, while I wouldn’t use them myself, are far less dangerous.
No “extra” rights for anyone in so-called protected classes, since all of our rights are already guaranteed including the rights of the unborn.
No thought crime legislation.
And as long a fed gov rules trump states’ rights, it really doesn’t matter what states say or do. Cases in point, the “stimulus,” and the Commerce laws.
I agree with your list, except for a few; for starters, gay marriage. Government should get out of the marriage business altogether, but if we’re going to have Government involvement then it is up to each State to decide, not the Federal Government.
Likewise with the death penalty; that is a States issue, and if a State chooses not to support the death penalty that is the State’s right.
Drugs should not be Federally controlled; the Feds can constitutionally only get involved if those drugs are transported across State lines or imported (actual commerce); drugs grown or brewed within a State should be free of Federal interference within that same State.
So, am I not a conservative because we have a few different positions? Or are you not a conservative because we have a few different positions? That’s what this thread is turning into - a witch hunt where, unless someone has 100% ideological conformance to some unknown list of “conservative principles”, they are branded a RINO and tossed aside.
I would hope that conservatives would be more logical and less emotional about this issue! I dare say we’re behaving like liberals, letting the heart lead the head.
