Have you read the definition of conservatism by Wikipedia. ?

It seems accurate to me, but it’s night and day as to what Dems say those values are.

    Well, it's a known fact that our "liberal" friends have a serious problem with being honest.

     

    I suppose when you're drenched in moral superiority things like honesty don't really count.

    "United States

    The meaning of "conservatism" in the United States has little in common with the way the word is used elsewhere. As Ribuffo (2011) notes, "what Americans now call conservatism much of the world calls liberalism or neoliberalism".[146] Since the 1950s, conservatism in the United States has been chiefly associated with the Republican Party. However, during the era of segregation, many Southern Democrats were conservatives and they played a key role in the conservative coalition that largely controlled domestic policy in Congress from 1937 to 1963.[147] The conservative Democrats continued to have influence in the US politics until 1994's Republican Revolution, when the American South shifted from solid Democrat to solid Republican, while maintaining its conservative values."

    Guess you didn't make it that far through the article, but I'm glad to hear that you agree with it all the same.

    Labels mean something. Like Christians. They don't fit the definition of that anymore than Conservatism. Why do you think real Conservative Republicans are leaving the party? They don't recognize it anymore.
