Is there some definition of conservative that I am obligated to conform to?

No more so than I am obligated to conform to yours.

How many people - who identify themselves as conservatives - would say the following people were not conervative:

John Boehner; SCOTUS justices John Roberts, Samuel Alito, John Scalia, and Clarence Thomas; Robert George of Princeton; natural-law scholar J Budszizewski.

I think someone might quibble here and there, but to dismiss all of them as being NOT conservative is just bizarre.

Indeed. But I wasn't the one demanding that you conform to some mainstream definition. I clearly defined conservative as those who hold to the classical liberal principles of our founders. I have yet to hear your definition. I would suppose it to be some Romanist Natural Law principle.
