Yep. And with the latest neo-recontructionist policies of military expansion/subjugation, socialism, big-government programs, tax-refunds for non-payers, gun control programs, welfare etc. being pushed by so called "republicans", they are not the Reagan/Goldwater/Gingrich/Helms Republicans of a few years ago.
A few weeks ago The Economist made an editorial observation about the leaders of today's GOP. Under Reagan et al, the party advanced an ideology of "liberty" as realized by combatting the size of the state. Under Bush II, the party advances an ideology of "virtue" as realized by the exercise of power through the state. It's the best description of the difference between the two types of republicans that I have seen to date.
"Trouble is, though our Republican Party definitely is dynamic and compassionate and progressive, conservative it is not."
