Any deviation from any of the above puts you at odds with the hard core American conservatives.
You forgot the sanctity of the constitution and the rule of law.

Of course there are.

What I said was that conservatism in the US is dominated by those whose guiding principles are the sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage (and heterosexuality), and the sanctity of Jesus Christ.....ie, evangelicals and Christian conservatives.
