Conservatives are seen as "the fringe," and the enemy, not just because they dare to challenge the power structure the leadership has established, but because they desire a dismantling of the centralized system
The unconstitutional expansion of federal power began as far back as moments after the ratification of the United States Constitution. Under John Marshall, the fourth Chief Justice of the United States, during his thirty-six year run, the courts created legal precedents that stood in direct opposition to the Jeffersonian Republicans, who called for principles more in line with the Constitution that authorizes stronger State governments. The Jeffersonians were concerned about excessive federal power, and the expansion of a centralized system of governance.
As history has unfolded, inside the political machine, the parties have come to battle on one single issue, despite their claims regarding other issues. That one issue is simply, Who gets to control the expanding federal power? Republicans, like the Democrats, want the power that goes with controlling a strong centralized government, but claim that they plan to run it in a more conservative manner - an oxymoron to those that support the philosophies of limited government. The truly frightening part, however, is that anyone who dares to stand in their way is punished, not just by the liberal left Democrats seeking power, but by the establishment leadership of the GOP that roosts side by side with the liberal Democrats in Washington.

Boo-Hoo Boehner has been so arrogant and vindictive about his Speakership "victory", that it seems he might be able to profit from a similar kind of "exercise tune-up".
LOL
