I think he’s right. I don’t like the Glenn Beck/Neil Boortz types, who are socially liberal and whose primary claim to conservatism is that they don’t want to pay taxes. There’s more to the conservative position than that.
Do you think the average tea partyier (people he also slimed) are Libertarians?
When in doubt on the true conservative position, I find that "What Would Reagan Do?" works every time.
I like the social moderates. I never had any use for extreme religious zealots whether they are jihadists, hindu extremists who assassinated Gandhi, jews of the Kahane follower kind or the Christian crusaders.
In practical terms, the religious focus of our leaders hardly affects me.
However their fiscal irresponsibility affects my every day life. Such as where I can live, where kids can afford college, what foods I can afford etc etc etc.
Which is why I am to the right of Attila the Hun when it comes to fiscal conservatives.
