Conservative = Christian?

First of all, two past evcforum.net "conservatism" topics: What is a "Real Conservative"? - The American Conservative magazine
What is a Liberal, and What is a Conservative?A couple of (gag me) Conservapedia pages (after all, they should know what they are):http://conservapedia.com/Paleoconservative
http://conservapedia.com/NeoconservativeOddly enough, their currently expressed views on neoconseratives seem to be that they are liberals in disguise (or something like that).Now, my short opinion on fiscal conservativism:I think that the pre-Reagan fiscal conservative was one who believed in government spending money wisely.But what grew out of Reaganomics was not so much to spend wisely but rather to just be cheap. To not spend money, even if it would be wise to do such on certain things, such as maintaining the public infrastructure. Alas, this cheapness does not extend towards the sacred cow that is the military-industrial complex.See also that all important quotation I put in my "signature".Moose

It sure sounds to me that you are confusing conservatism with conservationism.
