“. . . fundamental conservative views (small govt, individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, etc.)
Fundamental conservative views are pro-family, pro-life and pro-faith. “
While I don’t disagree, I think that there is more to conservatism than just those three items.
Sure, but if a political entity fails on one of those pre-eminent three, then it fails as conservatism. As far as conservatism is concerned, if an ideology or political system is anti-God or anti-family, then it matter not one bit what its views are on government, finance etc.
