Oh and by the way, conservativism is not “fluid”, it is based on the Constitution of the United States of America. It is rock solid.

You may believe so. The fact that many conservative leaders today are fighting each other says otherwise.

Please, explain. Your statement makes no sense.

You are incorrect my friend.

This is just an effort by those who really don't believe in conservatism to redefine the label.

you cannot be a conservative and favor big government.

you cannot be a conservative and support actions or legislation that is anti-law and order, i.e. Illegal Immigration(McCain-Kennedy).

you cannot be a conservative and support reducing your 1st amendment rights (McCain-Fiengold), 2nd amendment rights, etc.

You cannot be a conservative and support the Global-warming scam (McCain-Lieberman)

You cannot be a conservative and NOT support ANWAR and any and all efforts to reduce our dependency on foriegn oil.

You cannot be a conservative and support Abortion, and that includes Embryonic stem-cell research.

You cannot be a conservative and NOT support tax cuts (see Bush's Tax Cuts and McCains non-support).

You cannot be a conservative and Not be for the wholesale reduction of the size of the government.

You can be a moderate and not support some of these things, but not a conservative.
