Point of information: they're not "conservatives" any more than Aum Shinrikyo is about "truth" or the PRC is a "Republic".
Modern American "conservatives" oppose the status quote, reject our traditional institutions, support the centralization of power, favor huge public spending and deficits in support of their preferred policies, and want to radically reshape American society. They are not "conservative" in any way.
They are authoritarian revolutionaries who increasingly embrace violence and terror and reject America's present and past in favor of their own oppressive fantasies.
No one who's commented in this thread so far fits that bill, but go on. It's a good example of why many well-regarded posters steer clear of the US politics boards though.
