What type of Conservative are you?

The Economist published a short list of issues which really divide conservatives. It seems that we're all trapped in the Republican Party because well, the Democrats are unimaginably worse.

The four areas of disagreement identified by The Economist were:

Small-government conservatives v big-government conservatives

Mr Bush has embraced all sorts of big-government programmes (from super-charging the Department of Education to creating the huge new Medicare drug entitlement) while trying to keep small-government conservatives on side with tax cuts. But this was a formula for fiscal disaster. It also failed to placate purists who believe that the federal government has no business running schools or pushing pills to pensioners.

Conservatives of faith v conservatives of doubt

Doubters don't think that the federal government should interfere in people's private lives. They don't want Washington, DC, meddling in states' rights to legalise euthanasia or medical marijuana. Conservatives of faith believe that the federal government should encourage civic virtue. Under Mr Bush they have had the upper hand. The Justice Department has been aggressive in imposing its views on the states. The poster child of the conservative movement on Capitol Hill at the moment is Senator Rick Santorum, a staunch advocate of family values.

Insurgent conservatives v establishment conservatives

The conservative movement, rooted in the South and west, has been deeply hostile to Washington, DC. But electoral success has created a Washington-based Republican establishment, which spends its time doling out goodies to its buddies and expanding federal power. Mr Bush has managed this relationship by presenting himself as an anti-Washington Washingtonian: the son of a president who prefers to spend his time in Texas. The insurgent wing seems increasingly unconvinced.

Business conservatives v religious conservatives

The latter are waiting keenly to see whom Mr Bush appoints next to the Supreme Court. Business conservatives are worried that religious people have already got too much. Mr Bush's stance on stem-cell research will cost America its competitive edge in biotechnology. Add to this their concerns about Mr Bush's reckless fiscal policy and you have the making of a business revolt. Robert Novak, a conservative pundit, recently described a cacophony of Bush-bashing at a plutocratic get-together in Aspen.
