It is difficult from your posts to determine how much further to the
extreme right you are than the Neocons though. The lunatic fringes of
conservatism are very ill defined.

The terms "left" and "right" refer ONLY to socialists, a group which
includes both communists and fascists. Communists are on the left and
fascists are on the right. *Conservatives do not fall on that
political spectrum at all; we are neither left nor right, nor anywhere
in the middle of that morass.

You will have to do better than that if you want to be taken seriously..
You have defined yourself as not any of the above without saying
anything about what you believe in. I am still no wiser about what you
mean by saying you are a "conservative". You have not defined the word..

Low taxes, less government, equal rights, strong national defense,

You already have two mutually incompatible requirements in that line.

Nothing mutually incompatible at all.

Strong national defense costs very serious money. And a powerful army
with an inadequate civilian government is a dictatorship.

A weak army almost guarantees that a (foreign) dictator will
eventually run your country, unless you have a powerful, stable ally
to save your hide and keep the peace.

So how low do you think taxes should be?

Much lower than they are now.

freedom of speech, right to self defense, religious freedom, right to
privacy, fair trials, school choice, family values, preserve the
environment, support the US Constitution and its Bill of Rights, etc.
Simple for most people (but not you) to understand.

Most of this I don't have a problem with although I object strenuously
to the religious right and Young Earth Creationists trying to corrupt
the content of science lessons.

You must be confusing that sort of thing with religious freedom.

It isn't a pond, the body of water in question is called the Atlantic
Ocean. *I am more pro-science than you are. I know the difference
between a pond and an ocean.

But you seem to lack a knowledge of colloquial English.

You probably meant to say colloquial British.

No. English. I live in England and we speak English here. You live in
America and you speak American which is a dialect of English.

No, here in America we speak English, and we speak it better the
average Englishman.
