"Conservative" has so many conflicting meanings that I try to avoid using the term unless I qualify it: E.g., "constitutional conservative", "church conservative", "borders-language-culture conservative", "country-club conservative".
The kind of "conservative" referred to in the article is the last of these four. "Country-club conservatives" want total freedom for those in business management and don't necessarily care about anyone else's liberty or well-being. In particular, they support anything that means cheap labor, such as open borders.
Always demand from those claiming to be "Conservative," to know just what they are trying to conserve?! If they are not about conserving the heritage of America, they are not politically, socially or economically conservative. Promoting futuristic projects as substitutes for what was once our purpose, is the antithesis of conservative.
