but then advocate several positions...

Which positions are you referring to?

[Dead Corpse]

Your desire to continue to tell others what to do with their lives for starters.

You'd rather give the government power than allow people to suffer the consequences of their actions.

Sorry, but that is not "conservative" by any stretch of the imagination.

Absent that, you are no better than a Democrat.
