We define conservative as "holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion."
Is that what they are??
When you look at immigration, is eliminating all other races from "their" country conservative? No, thats just racism. Funny, as most blacks came to the US before most caucasians did. The indians were here first. They are not considered american either, but native american..
When you look at the budget battles in washington, is making the government non-functional, a conservative measure? No. I feel it is anti american.
What about health care? Is it "conservative" to just let some have health care? The poor cannot afford to care for themselves, with the bloated costs of medicine. Bloated by who, for who? for the rich. If the conservatives are indeed religious, then they of course would care for the poor, per the bible (I should not quote the bible, as I am an agnostic, and think that book is fiction). No, I guess the religious would care for the poor. That's what Pope Francis has said in his recent visit to Brazil. So, the conservatives seem to only care for rich corporations. They back Oil companies, Pharmaceutical, and offshore tax havens, to avoid Taxes! It seems their religion is more "Money grubbing scum" than a good christian.
What about the backing of military and war after war? Is that conservative? Well, it seems killing is against all religions, except maybe Islam, that there seems to be much debate about. It seems we are still fighting not only the crusades, but also the civil war.
Who started the crusades? I understand it to be started by a pope, (Gregory), who gave all warriors relief from the burden of their conscience by saying anything done for god is OK. So are the conservatives still fighting wars from before modern history? 1200 years? Are they still fighting the civil war? Was the issue really slavery? Do they want slaves again? It seems so, but is that happening? Is it conservative to force the poor to live under control of others? No, that is not conservative. That is clearly racist. The United states was formed and the constitution starts "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Gee, present conservatives do not seem to care about general welfare, common defense, prosperity for the people. What's up here? More below.
