This is what I view as a true conservative
1. Believes high taxes are bad
2. Supports deregulating business (especially small ones) to stimulate the economy
3. Supports balancing the budget without raising the top income tax in almost all cases except for the exception of war and an economic recession
4. Opposes Pork Barrel Spending
5. Supports reducing the power of the executive branch
6 . Opposes federal war on drugs(after seeing evidence that it hasnt worked)
7. Supports reducing the size of the federal government and returning many of its powers back to the states
8. Supports reforming welfare
So, I guess I don't even count because of #6. It almost seems like any libertarian could fit your definition.
(Of course, I spend post #4000 arguing about what a true conservative is)
If you support the Federal government waging a war on drugs you wouldnt count but if you support doing it at the state level you would count.
Nope. That would be a closeted Neoconfederate.
Believing in the 10th amendment is neo confederate lmao
Bullsh**t. "States rights" has always been a cop out to support tyrannical government on a local level, while crippling the only force that could impose liberty on the people-the federal government.
Not always true, but this is the usual motive, not some principled ideal.
