"There is a difference between living a socially conservative life (which plenty of political "liberals" do) and being politically conservative. You seem to have the two confused."


I find the above to be very confused. Could you name one such Liberal?

I could name many, many such liberals to you, you would likely not know them however. There are many members of the catholic church who are extremely liberal, but live very socially conservative lives (for example, they would always be in church on Sunday, one of your apparent tenants of conservatism that I disagree with actually BEING a tenant of conservatism). And they don't drink, do drugs, have extramarital sex, etc... How about Jimmy Carter? Bob Casey?

Anyhow, wolfstar's post 111 did a thorough job of attempting to explain to you the difference between a conservative "lifestyle" (which you seem to be describing) and holding "conservative" political beliefs, so I won't attempt to do it again. I think it's a BAD thing (and quite unconservative-like) that you would exclude jews, muslims, atheists, agnostics & the chronically lazy on Sunday from your list of approved conservatives. Maybe the word/ phrase you are looking for is "Christian Conservative" or "religious right". Up until a few years ago, I actually thought Rush was jewish!
