Well ., I'll give you the same reply: What's your version of the conservative "immovables" Based on everything written by conservatives here, there's a hell of a lot of confusion about this.
So, now's your chance .... Enlighten me @roamer_1 Consider it doing God's work.
Come on... give it your best damn shot. (And don't forget to ping me .... I'll look forward to your answer tomorrow)
@Right_in_Virginia Like I said, go look it up. Social Conservatism and Fiscal Conservatism are easily found, and listing their basic principles.
Defense Conservatism is a little tougher, and civil libertarianism (Goldwater) has to be strained away from Big 'L' Libertarianism, But it's doable.
Those are the factions.
You have no right to call yourself conservative if you do not support the principles of at least one of those factions. Reaganism supports all factions.
The only other legitimate Conservatives are what is now dubbed 'paleoconservatives', who are in short, the very same factions, omitting social conservatism
Neoconservatism plays lip service and doesn't even know what Conservatism is. You know... 'Moderates'... Pragmatists. Since they come from the moderate wing, and eschew the principles, they are not conservatives.
If you want my help with it, you can look me up on the subject on FR, Otherwise, go find it yourself. Maybe when you're done, you can surprise me by actually listing the principles of the factions, along with an indication as to which you adhere.
I won't be waiting. If you don't know by now...
