Let me rephrase then. My friends in this business who consider themselves "conservatives" fit what I described. That's a pretty select group and I am not sure at all how well I can apply it en masse.
Maybe some here will answer for themselves. In what way can a pornographer identify themselves as being "conservative" without contradicting one's actions? [I should ask people what they think instead of generalizing].
I'll admit my usage of the phrase "conservative" was not an according-to-Webster definition. It was more of a combination of the text-book definition and the common usage definition where Republican = conservative and Democrat = liberal. In the midst of mud-slinging, Republicans call Democrats "liberals" and Democrats call Republicans "conservatives" and everyone intends so as an insult.
So are you a member of the Democratic party, Labret or would you consider yourself to be independent or otherwise? You don't like Bush but did you like Clinton?

You got the definition pretty much right.
I know lots of people who are economic/financial conservatives and tend to be liberal on the social side.
I don't vote for either party. I pretty much hate them both and think they're both equally responsible for the out of control spending that takes place in our govt, and the incredibly high taxes we pay.
I don't like welfare. I don't believe people should be raised to rely on the govt to take care of themselves.
But I also happened to believe the war on Iraq was the right thing to do, so now I have people like Labret telling me I'm a sheep who blindly agrees with everything Bush says and does.
Ahhh well.
