Are Republicans Conservative?

Are Republicans Conservative?
I was doing some reading that led me to something interesting. Apparently during the 60s just after Lyndon Johnson crushed the Republicans on the coattails of Kennedy's popularity a large number of hyper religious Democrats left for the Republican party for a number of reasons. This allowed the Republicans to rebuild into a new party basically. However outside of some racism and being super religious these people that came over were not Conservative at all. That got me wondering if the Republicans are really Conservative at all as
- They often initiate wars of aggression where conservatism would dictate isolatism
- They frequently have large governments
- they advocate against civil liberties
- they advocate greater government involvement in people's personal lives
- that oft advocate against the separation of church and state.
So can someone please exain in what way are the Republicans Conservative?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
