The "Fair" Tax Bill demonstrates the mendacity and malevolence, the general ignorance, and the desire to inflict pain on those who don't conform to and agree with their desires, as well as the general insanity, of the (bowel) movement "fascist reactionaries."

They are the furthest thing from "conservative." Stop using that word to describe them.

And yes, there is nothing conservative about U.S., present day "Conservatives".
