Damn good question.I have been attacked for not truly being a real "conservative" because I don't ride the bandwagon of the far right and the GOP who like to pretend they're conservatives yet they are not true conservatives themselves. True conservatives believe in lower taxes and smaller government that ultimately benefits *ALL* people not just the rich so when GOP Republitards ask for lower taxes and advocate supply side voodoo trickle down economics they're going against what real conservatives stand for. The best example of a true conservative is Colin Powell, someone who didn't mind giving more to all people and not just the rich and elite that fake conservative GOP Republitards stand for.
To answer it in short...no, they are not. Not today's crop at least. I agree, Colin seems to be a true conservative with a lowercase C, not Conservative, with an uppercase C, as the majority of today's Conservatives are. That's why he got chased out of the last administration.
The Conservatives are a far cry from yesterday, they have truly lost their way. Capitalists gone wild essentially.
America's seeing t hem for what they are though. The coming 2 years will crystallize it for the world. If the Conservatives thought they got ran out in shame the last two years, they got a next thing coming once these two are over.
