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.
If it's that simple why throw the word around like it really means something??? Are there conservative and liberal positions on illegal aliens, war and peace, fair and unfair trade??? And the myriad of other issues???
