re: Tax cuts is the biggest one. Supporting a strong national defense is another.

"Tax cuts" are not traditionally conservative, small government is conservative. The tax cut trickle down thing was a Reagan era invention. He raised taxes in his later years when it didn't work. What works is balanced budgets. That primary; if you don't have the disciple to shirk government and contol spending, then it's irresponsible to run up debt. THAT'S CONSERVATIVE.

Supporting a strong national defense is conservative, nation building is the opposite of conservative. Conservatives are by nature a little isolationist.

re: The steel tarriffs where really neither conservative or liberal.

You don't know conservative, do you?

re: The overall increase in spending, esp. in domestic spending is rather liberal as is the new drug entitlement, but I still thing GW Bush is more conservative then say his father was.

Wrong again. Even Clinton was more conservative than Bush, by a mile. Bush is the most liberal Pres of my lifetime.
