You are absolutely right. But they CALL themselves conservatives and so does the media. So when we are having a discussion we also call them conservatives (even though they are what you said they are) so that we are all on the same page within the discussion and there is no confusion. I know that they (social conservatives) are lumped together with fiscal and political conservatives and I see the distinction you are trying to make.
