I'm glad you put it in quotation marks. A true conservative should want to "conserve" the core values of American society, which are individualism, enlightenment/rational thinking, practicality and liberty. The people who now call themselves conservatives are actually more aptly described as "radicals"--it's just that they've managed to reframe the debate so that it sounds like they're defending American values when in fact those values are under assault by a group of radical reformists who want to increase government's power and involvement in private life. Is John Roberts a "conservative"? Paul Wolfowitz? Hardly.
