I have noticed even here at FR people who claim they are conservatives, but curiously enough they come down on the same side as the leftists on every issue.

You're right, and I don't mean to provoke or upset those people or accuse them of bad faith. I understand the situation and know exactly why it's the case. Liberalism, its values and philosophy, have so pervaded every aspect of American society since at least the 1930s, that even many of those who say they oppose liberals have absorbed liberal thought patterns.
