The lines are more blurred now that the left has started burning down cities.

Republicans are more concerned with tax cuts than ballooning government debt.

Most of the people on this board are Republicans. They're not conservatives. You could honestly label a large percentage of them big government liberals because they're certainly not in favor of small government.

Conservatives are not defined by size of government
A conservative believes in Judeo-Christian morality. In valuing tradition over change for change's sake. A conservative believes when change is not necessary, it is necessary not to change.
To understand conservatism read The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk
Ten Conservative Principles By Russell Kirk

In essence, the conservative person is simply one who finds the permanent things more pleasing than Chaos and Old Night. (Yet conservatives know, with Burke, that healthy “change is the means of our preservation.”) A people’s historic continuity of experience, says the conservative, offers a guide to policy far better than the abstract designs of coffee-house philosophers.

Democrat, liberal, Repulican, conservative... It's all about money and staying in power (or trying to secure it). They don't care about the average American.

Obama had 2 years in office with democratic controlled houses and passed one broken back foot healthcare bill. He did nothing else.
Trump has been in office almost a year with republican controlled houses and has accomplished nothing.
There is your answer. They are both terrible for this country.

republican doesn't mean anything. Conservative means something.

B.S. ...politicians may have good intentions for a few minutes, but when they get elected....it's eat or be eaten. Doesn't matter what party they're in. Raise money or go home. I've seen it close up. But hey, keep believing those shiny campaign fliers you get in the mail.

One is a political party, the other is a political philosophy. One can be a conservative and not be republican just as easily as one could be a republican, but not conservative.

There are still some Republicans in Washington D.C. There are no conservatives left.
