I think the guy was joking when he said that.
He wasn't, and I had heard the term before so I couldn't write him off. I just needed to know his definition.

I don't know if Reagan was really any of those things.
I might consider him vaguely socially conservative perhaps, and if one considers aggressive foreign policy conservative then conservative in that regard as well. Fiscal conservatism to me means balancing the budget I suppose, he might be argued as economically right wing and thus under conservatism there, but huge deficits aren't conservative.

I'd probably go with conservative there because of the right wing tendencies as "stricter limits on immigration, especially from immigrants who break the law" and "social and cultural conservatism" as cited in the wiki article are conservative traits. I dunno, really though, those who could consider themselves liberal conservatives could either likely be considered moderates, conservatives, or libertarians depending on their emphasis.
