"Conservative" used to mean "wanting to conserve the traditional way of life." These days, I think it means something more like what "reactionary" used to be, that is, trying to turn back to how things used to be, trying to undo the changes which they feel have weakened or undone the old status quo.

I think Theodore Roosevelt probably believed in the "conserve" part of conservative. However, the Republican Party has lost any of this conservational ethos, and the only thing they seem to want to conserve is the wealth of their backers. The Republican Party has supported some of the most wasteful and environmentally destructive policies ever known to humanity.

I guess it don't really matter one way or the other whether you vote democrat or republican in the state of Alabama because the dixiecrats, bluedogs, and the republicans are the same. As Governor George Wallace once said, "there's not a dimes difference between the democrats and the republicans in the south." No such thing as a democrat party in the south.
george wallace said "there's not a dimes worth of difference between democrats and republicans". PERIOD........and in 1972 he ran for president as an independent and began to raise awareness among the general public about what was really going on in american govt. and politics........ he won primary elections in michigan and maryland (of all places) and then he was shot and paralyzed by the 'deranged lone gunman', arthur bremer......and i've always thought all this to be a little more than ironic.
