I have a great deal of respect for pylon, making the statements he has made. But I do think they are almost categorically flawed, and really aren't conservative at all.
Saying things like I'm conservative, because I disagree with the plurality of evidence regarding addiction treatment or health care or gun control. Or saying I'm conservative because I don't think I should have to pay for the social infrastructure I take advantage of is misguided, and has skewed a lot of less engaged people's understanding of where their politics really are, that's why issues polling just doesn't line up with party polling.
