Are you a Paleocon?

Not on economics.

Employees don't deserve to have monopoly powers

I am a free market capitalist.

Yes, 100%. My dream President would be Pat Buchanan. I am not kidding.

It's the term I've used to identify my political beliefs for quite a few years. We just need the next Pat Buchanan to step up and I think people will gravitate towards it.

What does this nebulous statement mean?

I'm a traditional conservative

The left reads this as sexist, racist and go pick some cotton and shut up.

Probably.

Have heard the term for about a half dozen years, but never got a definition of what it meant before.

Badly named, in my opinion. If you are going to try and distinguish yourself from Conservatism - at least come up with something that is understandable as part of the word or name, ie Constitutional Conservative or Pro-Life Conservative, etc...

Sounds good so far...

Still good...

Ahh, you lost me.

When did social Conservative or economic Conservative fall out of favor for discussing aspects of Conservatism? Never heard this term before in my life.
