One thing that's been on my mind lately is the shift in thinking in what the word Conservative means.
It certainly has changed. BUT... I don't think that is the issue. You do get close to the issue in the next section...

It seems to me he was talking about his Christian views and not Conservatives.
Today terms like socialist or conservative or liberal or Christian have nothing to do what the terms meant in the past. They have become little more than Buz words, meaningless crap used for driving the emotions of the non-thinking citizenry. Christian means the far right wing anti-science reactionary groups that during the late sixties and early seventies decided to take over a political party, first the Republican Party in the late 70s and more recently the Tea Party.
These folk are not really Conservative, more reactionary fascists in nature, nationalistic, reactionary religious, looking to model society on a corporatist model. The coup was successful and they were able to get the crook and traitor Ronald Reagan elected.
The terms today mean nothing. Conservative or Christian just means good; Liberal or Socialist just mean bad. Like I said, nothing but sloganeering.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
