Well, if he believes in the constitution, he’s probably a conservative in some sense. I haven’t seen any evidence that run of the mill Republicans give a damn about that old document.
Conservative needs to mean more than that, because all of Congress except a few loonies at least publicly claim to believe in the Constitution, and they may really believe that their “version”, with the penumbras and all, is what the Constitution is.
Hey, he knows on some level that freedom is required, the Constitution is key, and there should be limits to government telling him what to do. What he wants to do with his freedom is something that appalls me, but if he is willing to give me the same space to be me that he requires for himself, then he is on the “right” track, IMHO.
