Would anarchy be the ultimate of the conservative "right wing" perspective? The end of all government, no regulations, no taxation, no government interference?
Yep. Economic individualism, taken to the ultimate extreme, is indeed anarchy.
Social conservatism, OTOH, requires a great deal of government intrusion into matters that truly are none of the government's concern.

I don't know how the individualists and the conservatives manage to support the same party. How can the more libertarian minded Republicans stand to be associated with the social conservatives, I wonder.
