How do you define a conservative? Yep, that is some question you have there. Why are you even here at FR?

All due respect, it's a fair question. If folks are going to advocate a common cause it's important we clearly define the cause itself. Some people will tell you "conservative" means small government. Others will tell you it means using government to influence morality. Both are probably somewhat correct; the average modern-day "conservative" falls somewhere in the middle.

I thinks so. I also think it's a fair question to ask if social conservtivism automatically implies political conservativism. Is it possible to be a social conservative, but a political liberal - ie to pursue a socially conservative agenda by politically liberal means?
