In what ways were the "three-legged stool" components of new right conservatism compatible? incompatible?

Three legged stool: Reagan's consolidation of the religious, military, and economic conservatives to form the New Right.

All three groups wanted a return to a strong, traditional US in which American values and strength were upheld.

However, military conservatives wanted military might and that was not compatible with a roll back of the economic power of the government. Economic conservatives would want less taxes and less spending. Reagan cut taxes, but only for the wealthy, and spending was increased for the military.
