Calling someone a conservative is like saying their liberal, its just a broad term to label someone as either left or right.
Non, some of those points you mentioned have been held and supported by liberals before as well.

Take out the shrill partisan hacks out of the equation, and there's not a wide gulf between views. America is not as divided as the extremes would have you believe.

I can't even muster enough conviction to disagree with what you're saying, sadly you're observation is prett much on the mark.

Judge Bundy however you may, but he stood eyeball to eyeball with the powers that be for what he believes in, and the powers that be blinked. The vast majority in this country lack that conviction.

Nobody blinked. He just wasn't worth the oxygen he wastes, much less a politically expensive scandal. He's a criminal that isn't worth prosecuting.

No, actually the government tucked tail and ran away. You call him a criminal, but who did he harm, and who did he steal from? Oh ya that would be nobody. Statist knee jerk reactions always amuse me.
