As many are pointing out, below, we're not really "conservative" so much as we're libertarians or classical liberals. Technically, "conservative" in the political sense is that you defend the established order and tradition. That's not what we are. We're not reactionary, either, because we're not interested in "going back to an idealized past."
"Left versus right" is misleading as hell. It's a totally false dichotomy. It's more of a state-versus-individual dichotomy, and striking the proper balance between the two. We need SOME government, but we clearly have far too MUCH government, right now, and far too little diversity of thought permitted in the public square, in order to preserve an establishment that's just as out-of-touch, NOW, as the regressive right of the 1960s, and even more censorious and intolerant.
