Nor does Utah. Even the links you posted talked this in qualified terms ("most") rather than absolute terms ("equals"). In reality, generalizations are generally general.

Which has nothing to do with what you were replying to.

It isn't a matter of having anything "both ways". Rather it is a matter of being fiscally conservative while being socially liberal. You can have that; I know because I do.

Fiscal conservatives believe that, while fiscal liberals perhaps don't, but "taking care of their own" is not specific to either conservatives or liberals with regard to social issues. Perhaps the biggest transgression that the Republican Party commits in regard to the "taking care of their own" is their attempts to change the laws putting government in the position of imposing its view on the personal concerns of everyone, such as with regard to who you can marry, when life begins, etc. In essence, you can say that the Republican Party is fiscally conservative but not socially conservative -- instead, in many ways, the Republican Party is socially reactionary, bordering on repressive, and/or intolerant.

When someone posts something showing how little they know me, yes, I do correct them and advise them that they're better off not making such ridiculous pronouncements.

Me too. I'm glad we are able to agree on something.

"Conservatives" does not represent any identifiable group of people. As we've seen, we both are conservatives, even though we disagree with each other. I think you're wrong, and you think I'm wrong. You can choose to interpret the words in the links you provided in the manner that supports your perspective, while I can choose to interpret them in the manner that supports my perspective. (I'm still right, and you're still wrong, but that doesn't matter.)

So hiding behind a denial that you were talking about the Republicans only serves to obfuscate the situation. You're essentially saying nothing about anything, as a result.

You're welcome to present data that supports your contention. I'll think you're wrong, and you'll think I'm wrong. (I'm still right, and you're still wrong, but that doesn't matter.)

Calm down. I didn't correct your grammar. I pointed out that I put the word "wrong" in quotes, indicating something other than what you chose to interpret my words as meaning. Again, you can always choose to interpret anything, even that which someone else posts, any way you want -- but that doesn't make doing so any less wrong.

As you choose to define "conservative".
