"Man...my idea of conservatism is a world different than what I read here."

Anyone who has been on this site for more than a week can see that conservatives are a contentious lot; sometimes it seems that we are all our own Popes.

But there are general groups with their own points of emphasis:

1. Constitutionalists.
2. Laissez-faire economists, or variations thereof.
3. Evangelical Protestants.
4. Traditionalist/conservative Catholics.
5. 2nd Amendment advocates.
6. Isolationists.
7. Libertarians.
8. Social conservatives (emphasis on abortion and LGBTQ issues).
9. Iconoclastic (non-denominational) Christians.

There is overlap between these categories, some of which just refer to points of emphasis and do not mean exclusion from one or more other groups. And notice that "Republican" is not listed as a category.

You should post that as a poll. I am #4 and #8, overlapping as you say. Then there are the Anti-Immigrationists (legal and illegal) which might overlap with #6 Isolationists but not synonymous.
