So high, in fact, that it\u2019s the highest that it\u2019s been in well over a decade.<\/p><p>Part of this is due to the ongoing debates surrounding a number of hot topics over the past few years, including abortion, crime, drug use and transgender rights.<\/p><p>38 percent of Americans consider themselves conservative when it comes to social issues, while 44 percent believe they are economically conservative. Meanwhile, Republicans are showing an even larger increase in social conservatism \u2013 by a whopping 74 percent.<\/p><p>With us now to discuss this further is law enforcement veteran Michael Letts, who is no stranger to the voice of conservatism.

Is it the ongoing debates with certain topics? Or something else?<\/li><li>Do you believe changes in political party identification could have played some sort of part with conservative changes?<\/li><li>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seems to be just as concerned with conservatives as they are with Christians and Republicans. Why do you think that is, and does it show just how much justice has been taken off balance over the past few years?<\/li><li>For that matter, the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program has also reportedly used federal funds to target conservatives. Why are they so afraid of their views and thoughts?<\/li><li>Do you think the media has played a big part in how some Americans have changed their stance with conservative topics? Could we continue to see that push in the months ahead, or will they lean towards the \u201cother side,\u201d as it were?<\/li><li>Where do you see conservatism going in the year ahead?
