Yeah, in talking to conservatives (esp. Boomer Generation ones) I'm struck by the fact that they are, essentially, New Deal/Great Society Democrats (they generally support every major big-govt. welfare/warfare policy that exists), yet they don't even seem to realize it.

They like guns, pay lip-service to freedom ideals, and consider themselves more 'patriotic' (i.e., they love their nation/govt.), but aside from that, they're really not all that different from leftists.
