This person makes numerous assumptions that are wrong.

He assumes opposition to Wal-Mart is a liberal issue. Not so. Wal-Mart was opposed in Staten Island, for examople, by a coalition of groups including small business groups who would consider themselves conservatives as well as conservatives that dislike Wal-Marts violations of immigration laws and use of tax money for their own benefit.

He assumes religious people are conservative. Not true. There is a large religious left community as well as, I should add, an anti-religion libertarian community.

He is pushing his own agenda and not honestly considering ideas.

And, by the way, I would applaud anyone who uses the word "traditionalist" to distance him/herself from the modern form of Republican so-called "conservativism" that really in no way resembles traditional conservativism. I would still oppose "traidtionalists" (remember, slavery and sexism were as traditional as anything in America) but would respect their distance from Bush's reactionary policies.
