Your father whom you so rabidly support is an elite.  Even in your Communist days you were in support or the elite's line, as the party controlled the means of production.  You have always identified with the elites, not the people.

Good thing you're not in charge of words then.

1a: of or relating to a philosophy of conservatism?

No.  I actually adhere to what I've termed National Capitalism.  The ideas behind it would require their own thread and honestly I'm not inclined to debate them with an uninformed mob as is usually present here.  Though this book I found to be particularly enlightening:

b
Conservative
: of or constituting a political party professing the principles of conservatism: such as
(1): of or constituting a party of the United Kingdom advocating support of established institutions
(2): PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE

No.  I'm not a member of the Tory Party of the UK or any of its diriviatives in the former colonies.  Nor the Progressive Conservatives of Canada.

2a: tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions, or institutions : TRADITIONAL

conservative policies

Not really.  Were that the case I should be a democrat supporting "Progressive" as that is the "tradition" in which I was raised.  Since I am not, I must therefore not be conservative in that sense either.

b: marked by moderation or caution

a conservative estimate

I don't think someone who has with regularity called for the use of the guillotine on his enemies du jour can be said to be in any way moderate.

c: marked by or relating to traditional norms of taste, elegance, style, or manners
a conservative suit
a conservative architectural style

I don't think  this definition can be applied to people.

3 Conservative : of, relating to, or practicing Conservative Judaism

4: PRESERVATIVE

3 & 4 don't apply either.  I'm not now nor ever have been a Jew of any variety and I'm certainly not a chemical substance used to retard the effects of decomposition.
