So, garg, how would you define "conservative"? Isn't it important to arrive at a definition of "conservative" before attempting to find people that represent that point of view?

Is conservatism just guns and lower taxes and keeping America white and Christian, or is there a deeper, valid philosophy that would more appropriately be called "conservative"?

To rephrase what I said above, I see true American conservativism as a political philosophy that sees business as the appropriate central focus of power in society, while American liberalism thinks government should be the central focus.

I think that it is inaccurate to say that liberalism promotes change and conservatism supports the status quo. American conservatives certainly don't want the current status quo, with Democrats in power in the Senate and White House.
