I don't understand why we still use the term "Conservative" as a label for the Tea Party/John Birch Society Wing of the Republican Party, for they aren't "Conservatives", they actually are Right Wing Reactionaries that have nothing to do with Conservatism at all. The Right Wing Reactionaries are "Originalists" in terms of the US Constitution ... that means retreating to a time when only the Landed Gentry who were White Males had any power in the country, They want to go back to a time before Women had the right to vote (Right Wing women have been pretty dense on that issue). Back to a time when Senators weren't elected by the people directly, but seated individually by corrupt state legislature to satisfy the needs of the State's feudal lords. They don't want every American to have the right to vote, only the Elite. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a secret goal of reinstating slavery through perversion of the Prison System. It is already obvious the reactionaries only want healthcare and education available to the upper classes, and their future for American Workers is for them to be fighting amongst themselves for scraps from the master's table.
The Tea Party/John Birch Society wing of the Republican Party are Radicals, not Conservatives, and they are fighting for a vision of the United States that Americans have been fighting and dying for generations to prevent.
Don't call them Conservatives.
