He's not what is considered what is called a conservative today, but he
has been a reliable supporter of limited gov. and the military.
------------------------
Goatprarie, respectfully accept your latter point.
As for your phrase "conservative today", an observation.
Many posters (not you) define/re-define conservatism depending
on whatever whim they're feeling at the moment, which is brainless.
Principled Conservatism was birthed by the Natural Law,
thousands of years ago and is a legacy from the Ancients.
It is a body of unchanging precepts which form a basis for the
conduct of Man involving attitudes, behaviors and impulses in life
and these are independent of economics, politics and religion.
Unfortunately, some never get past politics and as a result, it
influences every single idea and thought they articulate.
