Conversely and unfortunately, economics has become the litmus test. You can believe in the right to kill babies or legalization of drugs and still be considered a conservative these days. There is more to being a conservative than holding to free market principles in my opinion.

Where's your sign that sez "I'm a self righteous logically impaired pharisee?" For you to assume that I am pro abort because of what I said indicates that you are an emotional wreck with no logical intellectual ability.

Some conservative positions?

social and fiscal conservatism are related, they cannot be separated.

Big business and Big government are the worst of combination.

Big business needs to be restrained like big govt. Usually it is the market that restrains big business if big govt is not involved. At one time we had the 3 big retailers, sears, penneys and Montgomery wards. They reached a zenith and declined. Reducing govt, will create more competition and innovation.

Conservatives and liberals need to realize the connection between big govt and big business. I once had a lib tell me he could vote with big govt but not with big business. Stock holders vote also in theory.

My perception is that Walmart is still market driven mostly.
