And Hitler was damn sure no liberal...
Depends on your defintion and perhaps the country.
In a very broad definition and sense, Conservative means preserving the current state of the country and Liberalism is moving away?
Now if that is anywhere close to the definition, did or did not Hitler support the ruling parties? Parties that were mostly Socialists, Christian Socialists? No, Hitler did not he he opposed the ruling parties thus he was a Liberal.
Since Hitler's view was for strict government regulation over business, nationalization of the banks, gun control and health care, thus Hitler was a liberal.
What you might consider conservative is Hitler's use of Patriotism and pride of the Aryan nation. But if you do then you have to explain liberals telling us that they are just as patriotic and proud, except Michelle of course.
You are not a liberal if you oppose liberalism. Goddam you people say the darnedest things.
Let's try it this way:
The Founders, classical liberals, what we call conservatives today, had a political philosophy based on individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
Where do you stand on those values?
