I speak for me... Although I tend to agree with both of your examples, most if not all o the time... Well more so with Coulter than Rush; Rush tends to feel that there is hope for moderates... Niether Coulter nor I do... I generlly feel that if you're smart enough to get it; you will.

There have been some great Conservative Presidents.. Reagan being the best example of the 20th century; Lincoln and John Adams come to mind in the 19th and of course the original GW in the 18th...

Next I'm wondering about what you're ideal position on a number of the issues would be. But more importantly what is the most moderate postion that would make you "happy". I.e. you certainly favor cutting taxes. Maybe you would ideally want the only tax to be a sales tax on condoms, rap music, and newspapers. Ok. But how much of just a "regular" Bush type tax cut would keep you "happy" with a candidate.

Anyway, Issues.

Immigration: For it.
Affiramtive action: Against
Welfare etc: Against
Social Security: Against it
Abortion: Against
Iraq: If by "Iraq" you mean the war in which the US pursues Islamic terrorists and those which promoted their interests... I'm all for it.
Foreign policy in general: For it... except where leftists are placed in positions representing the interests of Americans.
Gun control: Against...
The homosexers: Not even CLOSE! But to be fair I'm against aything which seeks to destroy positive cultural thresholds...
Just how small a government? Hmmm lets see... I'm for the size laid out in the US Constitution...
Just how few taxes? I'd say 10% on income would be just about right...

Americanism (US Conservativism) isn't long division sport; it's nothing more than the observation, practice and defense of the principles laid out by the Framers... Wherein immutable principle is set against circumstances far more desperate than that which we've known since; they didn't fail then and they've never failed anywhere or at any time which they've been practiced.
