There are a couple of conservatives I follow and read. Yeah, they're wrong half the time, but they are what I would consider conservative realists.
They know government is the problem and that it is evil, and in unguarded moments seem almost libertarian, but for whatever reason, they just prefer keeping The State around.
Sometimes their reasons are religious, and other times they are cultural. Normally, it comes down to them hating someone or something more than they hate government.
They don't realize that government is the biggest threat to the things they value. They can't quite think that clearly.
Still, they sometimes have good insights and can be amusing. But I don't get caught up in their moral panics or their flawed reasons for the things they advocate.

If not, that’s OK.
