There is no definition of "conservatism" that everyone calling themselves a conservative will agree on.

Conservatism in some ways is as much a mental disorder as liberalism.

True. People sign up for what they think is conservatism and a few years later, the consensus is that conservatism is anything but that.

I disagree with a lot of people who call themselves conservatives, but recognize that they signed on in good faith to what people were calling conservatism at the time.

I wouldn't go that far, but politics are a dark, confusing forest and it's hard to come up with simple, unambiguous answers to political questions.
