Consider this:

Republicans aren’t conservative anymore
In the United States, the Republican Party is ostensibly the party of conservatism. But recent action by Republicans — politicians and citizens alike — contradict many of the values they claim to stand for as conservatives.

And also this:

Radical Republicans Are Not Conservatives
By mislabeling the radical members of the Republican Party "conservative," the mainstream media gives them a veneer of respectability.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and there are almost as many opinions as there are people, you might agree or disagree with the notion that today's Republicans do not really follow Conservative principles, so here is your opportunity to have your say.

I'd argue that by the looks ofit, many Republicans are now fascists, not conservative:

But then again, were the Nazis conservative? Right wing extremists never are.

In any case, most Republicans I know seem to be in some sort of deep denial regarding this changing world.
