George W Bush and his supporters are usually not traditional conservatives.

Agree?

I've really grown to see that while on this board in the last few months.  I've also realized i share many of the same values and opinions with "true" conservatives.  I got to the point where i was confusing these neo-cons with "real" conservative values so to speak.

In the widest sense, conservatism respects the customs and traditions of one's country.

Culturally, Bush advocates torture, spying on americans, militaristic foreign relations, eviscerating the separation power and alienating noncompliant foreign allies.

He is not a cultural conservative b/c those things are not the norm in our traditions and values.

Economically, Bush advocates tax cuts during a time of war and in spite of a crushing debt.  His borrow and spend policies have nearly doubled our national debt.

He is not an fiscal conservative b/c those things are new achievements in our country's economic history.

George Bush is a right wing ideologue.

Sure they are.  They conserve as much as possible for themselves and don't give a shit about anyone else.
Stick out your tongue.

This board really is good for us learning more about ourselves.  When challenged on vague positions, you often learn your previous solutions don't work, and that the best way doesn't always feel best.
