The term Conservative will always have a meaning and it will always be the same

Well, glad you think so.

I was the Board Chairman of a wonderful private Christian school for five years. The biggest challenge of keeping it afloat was the fact that parents wanted to engage in constant warfare over which teacher, which administrator, which donor, which family, which student was or wasn't "a Christian". It turned out that "Christian" had dozens of idiosyncratic definitions, all mutually exclusive, and all of which the definer(s) were quite certain constituted revelation.

"Conservative" may always have the same meaning, but if nobody agrees on what it is, it won't be going anywhere.

I don’t think it’s that hard Jim.

A Conservative believes in smallest possible govt, low taxation and maximum individual responsibility. Every political circumstance is measured against those values and we take the fork in the road that most delivers those outcomes.

The good man/ woman makes the good family makes the good neighbourhood, makes the good town, makes the good state, makes the good country.

It’s that simple.
