Instead it's the manipulation of conservative ideas by the Republican Party and the twisted ways that they apply these "values" that make them dangerous.
Small government isn't a terrible idea, depending on the circumstances. But like Buddy said earlier in this post, it's the way that the GOP has twisted and used that concept that makes it bad.
I think you could argue a similar thing for several other so-called conservative values (fiscal responsibility, strong military, few regulations, etc.).
