So you're not a "Nazi" but would you, broadly speaking, say that you're a national socialist?

No.

I would be a card carrying Libertarian save for just a few of their core beliefs. (Allowing Wal~Mart and AT&T to take over the solar system being among these).

Similarly there are several core standards with national socialsim which keep me from joining. On the same token there are several there with which I ardently agree. But then, the same would apply to many if not most Americans.

I was a social democrat in college. I once (for a short time) even considered myself a Marxist. I am become a conservative over time. And I will admit that the origin and impetus of this transformation was fear.

There. I said it. I am afraid. I am afraid that the pursuit of unbridled social liberty here and now is moving too fast, and that certain inherent properties of Nature (and Human Nature) dictate our exercising more caution. Because certain properties of The Universe forbid the success of the liberal cause.

If I come across as being as conservative as was Mussolini then it's probably because my conservatism is reactionary, and that I am reacting to a a large body of influential Americans who seem as liberal as Hoffman. As lunatics, in other words.
