The problem as I see it... is that conservatism (as a political philosophy) lacks objective and substantial definition.
There is no single foundational principle for conservatism from which to draw when confronted with a decision.
Conservatives cannot be identified by common principle.
Hence even conservatives don't know what a conservative is.
In this country it was the intent of the founders that our laws be based on Judeo-Christian beliefs. Even the small number 3 or 4 who did not subscribe themselves to those beliefs had stated that this was their intent. of the far greater number of Christians who made up the body of the founders this was definitely the case. Subscribing to another view is by definition not conservative in this country. By not conservative I mean Liberal Traitor. I include traitor because it departs or betrays the intent of the foundation on which this country was built.
