that's only because from left to right it's just varying degrees of statism for the most part....which makes American Conservatism truly unique(ask any Eurpoean that has been here for any period of time )...true Conservatives recognize the individual's inailenable rights and liberties and their primacy over the State's dictate, most others expect the individual to be subordinate to the state which is why American Conservative keep fighting for individual liberty/responsibility and limited government and Europeans and the American left and progressives from both sides continue to fight for larger more expansive centralized governemnt (EU) power and influence and continually diminish the role and responsibilities of the individual......
