1. (conservative) (3970↑, 1677↓)
1) One who espouses a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change. 2) One who believes in less government being better government. 3) One who believes in such "outmoded" ideas as civil liberties (freedom of speech, separation of church and state, right to keep and bear arms, that kind of thing) 4) One for whom the Republican Party no longer truly speaks. 5) a word that today's so-called "conservatives" don't know the definition of.

"Today's so-called 'conservatives' don't even know what the word means. They think I've turned liberal because I believe a woman has a right to an abortion. That's a decision that's up to the pregnant woman, not up to the pope or some do-gooders or the Religious Right. It's not a conservative issue at all." -- Barry Goldwater

If used in a non-political sense, "conservative" simply means "not much."

I'd like a large popcorn with a conservative amount of butter, please.

Despite the misgivings of certain individuals who have an absurdly black/white view of the political spectrum, conservatism does not instantly mean hypocrasy and it certainly is not necessarily far-right in philosophy. Conservatism can be broadly categorised in two areas: 1. Fiscal conservatism. A belief in personal responsibility for finances. Scaling back taxation to allow greater control over individual incomes. Conservative thinking promotes cutbacks in public spending enabling tax breaks to be given to those that are earning, and believes in helping those out of work back into self sufficiency. 2. Social conservatism. Contrary to the fiscal conservatism, social conservatives believe in placing restrictions on personal freedoms, resulting in more government involvement into the daily lives of individuals. This is also known as [neo-conservative].

I am a fiscal conservative, but a social liberal.

4. (Conservative) (596↑, 289↓)
1) A non argument used by people, egged on by talking heads. Often used in place of an intelligent point. 2) An economic ideology that emphasizes fiscal responsibility: Saving money as opposed to spending it. 3) A political ideology that less is more when in refference to the scale that Government should play in daily life. 4) Not to be confused with [neo-conservative] or [neo con] which emphasizes spending, and larger government.

1) You dirty conservative, you ate my baby\! 2) The annual budget report angered many conservatives due to the outrageous disparity between the money created, and spent. 3) Mike appreciated a conservative approach to government, less is more. 4) Most true conservatives are deeply bothered by the wave of neo-cons that have come into existance.

5. (conservative) (440↑, 238↓)
Most often members of the Republican Party in America. Most often known as fucking nuts by the rest of the world.

Ohh, look at me\! I'm a tree huggin, baby clubbin liberal\! I can read and write\! I care about people\! - conservative negative ad on liberals.

6. (conservative) (521↑, 358↓)
a person that thinks "less is more" politics wise. Usually quietter when presented with a poll, and prefers to save money rather than spending it. Prefers to allow more freedom law wise (where I've lived and observed). Called Fascists by liberals (apparently). I use parentheses too much don't I? (don't send me your opinions)

That liberal is soooo wrong\! He's a fascist. I am a conservative.

Someone who didn't read the constitution Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,- conservatives beleive that Religion, specifically christianity should be the guiding hand of government. or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble- Connservatives are pro-police violence against protesters and often had liberal journalists killed during Vietnam, also they complain about the "Liberal Media" despicte watching nothing but the idiotic bile that oozes out of Rush Limbaugh's and Sean Hannidy's mouthes. Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. -during both the Cold War and the Bush administration phones were tapped and personal records were seized warrantlessly by Conservative governments. Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state- not only were gitmo inmates denied a speedy and public trial they were denied an trial by the Bush administration.

A conservative is someone who will look at this definition and mumbble " pot-smokin, flag burnin, baby eatin, Nigger lovin, america haters an then vote it down with his eleventh finger.

8. (Conservative) (226↑, 93↓)
1. One who believes in "traditional values" but rejects any debate challenging the conservative definition of what said values are. Conservatives claim to value limited government, but are willing to expand government without limit in order to impose their personal morality on all others. 2. A liberal when it comes to the economy. Though individuals are barred from making various personal choices, businesses may do whatever they want with no repercussions. 3. One who is quite familiar with the concept of "Majority Rules" but is unable to understand the concept of "Minority Rights" (the premise that bars the majority from voting to restrict the rights of the minority). 4. An individual who claims to value the constitution above all else, but in reality is willing to suspend all amendments for any reason related to national security (except for the 2nd). 5. A black-and-white thinker. Conservatives think largely in absolutes, ignoring the various social, cultural, and economic nuances that define an issue.

1. Conservative view: Gay marriage is wrong because the Bible says so and I value the Bible as my personal guiding force. You, a male, may thus not marry your male partner. 2. Conservative view: Though same-sex couples are destroying America, oil speculators may drive up gas prices for their own personal profit; whatever that may do to the economy. 3. Conservative view: George W. Bush won 51% of the vote in 2004. Republicans now have a "mandate" to do whatever they want without considering the opinions of the remaining 49% of Americans. 4. Conservative view: You can be held indefinitely if deemed a potential terrorist without being charged or provided a lawyer, regardless of what the constitution says. A father may keep his loaded handgun within reach of his toddler because of what the constitution can be construed to say. 5. Conservative view: Our schools are underperforming. It must be the teachers. Pay them less.

10. (Conservative) (146↑, 45↓)
1) An ideology which espouses less government in theory, but has consistently failed in reality. Every "conservative" administration had grown government, and done more to restrict freedoms. Conservatives blame various national problems such as health care, the economy, and what ever suits the moment on "illegals". This high degree of xenophobia implies a distrust, and dislike of non-white immigrants in reality. The vast majority of conservatives are as described above, the few "minority" conservatives don't discount the xenophobia of this ideology.

Conservative: We need to keep the illegals out, they're ruining our country. American: Which ones, the illegal Irish immigrants or the illegal Mexicans? Conservative: Well uh, it's so easy to cross the Mexico border. Illegals, illegals\!\!

11. (conservative) (301↑, 207↓)
1. someone who believes in small government, except for censoring the internet, banning gay marriage, and making English the national language. 2. someone who thinks giving a single mom $10,000 a year in welfare will be a disincentive to work, but thinks letting a rich kid inherit $500,000,000 will make them a productive member of society. 3. someone who thinks that Jesus would oppose social safety nets and progressive tax plans 4. someone who thinks that young black men no longer face any real disadvantages in modern America, but still refuses to let their daughter marry one. 5. someone who thinks a 13 year old should be forced to carry her pregnancy to term, then tries to cut back on child-support enforcement so they can lower the capital gains tax.

A Reagan-era conservative Republican would say that the Emancipation Proclamation was an unwarranted government intrusion on a market system.

12. (Conservative) (297↑, 217↓)
Exactly what the Republican party is NOT these days. Conservatives believe in smaller federal government activity, states' rights, isolationism, stronger border control, protecting American jobs and nationalism. The Republican party currently believes in greater government spending on social programs nad the military, federal supremacy over states' rights, intervention in foreign affairs, lax immigration policies and border control, outsourcing American jobs to the Communist Chinese.

13. (conservative) (518↑, 438↓)
1. Formerly, one who favors the conservation of traditional views and values. (This definition is now archaic used only in reference to individuals who lived before 1960) 2. A wealthy person who exploits the fears and predjudices of ignorant and uneducated individuals in order to further his own economic, social, and political interests (see 'economic conservative'). 3. An ignorant and uneducated person so manipulated (see 'social conservative').

Even though granddaddy made it through the depression working for the WPA and daddy went to college on the GI bill, I always vote conservative because liberals want just want to take my tax money and use it to give handouts to the coloreds.

14. (conservative) (311↑, 232↓)
The fear that someone somewhere, may be happy.

Conservatives believe in equality for all heterosexual, Christian white males.

15. (Conservative) (673↑, 598↓)
1. One who belongs to a silent majority group who, historically, is not concerned with voting in feeble opinion polls and ridiculous online word-bashing contests (See Presidential Election 2004, when nearly every major news network published "national" polls of John Kerry gaining the majority of votes from coast to coast. Note how when push came to shove this silent majority swept the election with a mandate... 2. One that typically exists to the right of the political spectrum, but by no means is required to be "far" in such direction. A conservative also recognizes the fact that when a decidedly "far-right" President is elected by marginal popular vote, the MAJORITY has spoken that it would even side with the extreme of one side to flee from the flimsy and weak views of the opposition. 3. An entity that understands that America was founded that its citizens may exercise individual freedoms without *government intervention; this right not the be misinterpreted that those with views dissimilar to the majority may resrict the fair practice of those in the majority, just that they may choose to believe differently without persecution. Unfortunately liberalism has yet to grasp this fundamental concept and would rather chase Christians with lawsuits than read a history book. Reread these 3 definitions also if you have lost sight of the definition of the word [patriot].

Conservatism is often twisted, bashed, and contorted by misguided liberals who would rather point fingers and pat each other on the back than actually doing something constructive.

16. (Conservative) (353↑, 280↓)
One who dislikes change and therefore progress. If any country, especially the United States, was governed by conservatives from the start, we'd all either be Nazis, dead, or back in the Dark Ages. Often marked by ati-humanitarian, selfish causes such as triumphing businesses over people, promoting Christian prayer in every situation, keeping hate alive by promoting war, and keeping deserving people out of one's country. The conservative has troubles thinking for his/herself, and follows whatever he/she is told. Conservatives have statistically been noted to be the least educated members of a populace.

Bastard: "I'm a conservative" Me: "Sorry. I'll try to speak slower"

17. (conservative) (122↑, 52↓)
A person who espouses the idea of "less government". However, they tend to espouse the idea of "less government" more when it comes to spending money for social programs. They have no qualms about looking over people's shoulders, spying on or jailing people for suspected "un-American activities" at a base that is not even on American soil. Among their interference in our lives: spying on cell phone calls without permission of Congress, saying, "I'm the president. Why do I need anyone's permission?", or using brute military force to enforce their vision of that things should be like on the outside world. They believe in torture in the name of national security. As far as financial responsibility, they believe in shrinking down every part of the government but giving the Department of Defense what is essentially a blank check, and run up horrific deficits fighting senseless, endless wars. Strength is good, but waste is not. They are often religious, but they seem to have Jesus Christ confused with [Ronald Reagan]. Their philosophies are often subtly or blatantly racist and xenophobic, and they have been known to advocate disenfranchisement of women and minorities (see: [ann coulter] because these groups overwhelmingly vote liberal and are growing much faster than the aging white male voter base they rely on. Their failed policies were rejected in the 2008 election, by the "true" patriots of our great country.

[Rush Limbaugh] and [Ann Coulter] are examples of the consummate conservative gone mad: God, church, family, country, torture, domestic spying, and killing the ragheads.

what many single-issue vetting hypocrites define themselves as being politically.

It's absolutely sickening, how the Bush Administration lied to us, as do most "Conservative" Republican Administrations - the murdering, the wars, the bribery, the theft, the lies, the coverups, a complete disregard for anyone or anything other than Profits - but, because they claim to be Pro-Life, i must vote for them if i'm gonna make it to heaven.

19. (conservative) (273↑, 209↓)
A person or party who are rather close-minded. They make decisions based upon traditional views and standpoints. They are rather frightened when it comes to new ideas or concepts.

Conservatives can't accept the fact that times change.

20. (conservative) (140↑, 78↓)
1) Stereotypical, close-minded being of Abrahamic-Religious origins. Usually resistant to social change, and the freedom of practice. They may feel that their beliefs are morally right. He or she may believe in charity, and kindness, but it is usually applied to people of their own beliefs. Some may be selfish, and create conflict to change a national policy in their favor, without thinking about minorities, or the violation of a constitution. 2) Stereotypical non-intellectual, Southern American Citizen, "Redneck" for slang. Usually depicted as a white, Evangelical Christian, who supports hate-groups such as, the Ku Klux Klan, the National Socialist Party, or God Hates Fags. They are a menace to freedom. 3) One who believes that life should revolve around a book, rather than common sense, and individualism.

Not all Liberals or Conservatives are the same. But I see that many Conservatives are too judgmental, close-minded, and hateful of minorities, or people outside of their beliefs. Do you really want to be depicted as a barrier to social freedom? I am not some hippie on drugs, or a prostitute. I am an individual who feels for others, OUTSIDE of my religion, family, or race. The same goes for Atheists. You may think we worship Satan, but we believe Satan, or god does not exist. I try not to be too judgmental as well, but that is human nature. It is better to be independent from political parties. I am morally liberal, but I do not favor gun control.

Conservative Man: "No."

23. (Conservative) (122↑, 75↓)
A sick, sick person that hates human beings and tries to make it very hard for almost every class of people on Earth to survive. Conservatives want to put guns in the hands of every American, they try to force religion on uninterested people, they try to push religion into schools, they oppose universal healthcare, they oppose abortion, they oppose gay rights, they oppose helping the poor in any way (even though there usually rich and republican), they oppose stem cell research, they support the death penalty, they support tons of censorship, and much much more. Every conservative should be SHOT and KILLED.

Conservative: I only make $1,000,000 a year, why should I have to pay an extra $1000 a year to help poor people\! It's not right\! Conservative 2: ALL PEOPLE MUST READ THE BIBLE, THEY MUST, THE BIBLE IS THE BOOK OF ALL KNOWLEDGE AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

1. Somebody on the right side of the political spectrum. 2. A person that doesn't believe in equal rights.

Conservatives like to blast [liberals] for their views, despite the fact that they are only trying to make the country a better place for ALL of its citizens, not just the wealthy.

25. (conservative) (96↑, 55↓)

The [conservatives] keep pumping money into a country that is half a world away even though there are plenty of domestic issues to deal with.

26. (conservative) (206↑, 167↓)
Note: from the standpoint of a liberal Usually this word is directly affiliated with the Republican party. The way it is defined today means strict laws that favor the Bible and other older teachings, a group that opposes loose personal freedoms but favors loose economic freedoms. Pretty much, anybody who believes that the greater half of life is the work life. Conservative can be used to describe liberals as well, because liberals favor loose personal freedoms but strict economic laws. Here's some food for thought: Democrats are more likely to be involved in scandals NOT INVOLVED with their jobs. Clinton is an example. Republicans are more likely to be involved in scandals INSIDE their jobs. Tom DeLay is an example.

Above, above. Type into Google: 2004 Election by IQ. It's pretty hilarious, and may be hard to swallow at first. Also type in '2004 Election by divorce rate' , '2004 Election by education level' , and anything you may find family or education oriented. Favors democrats, mostly New England where I live. More children are left behind in the Bible Belt than anywhere else in the country. Also, the two places that were attacked on Sept 11 are very heavily democratic, which is ironic when you think about it. Conservative means something entirely different today than it did thrity years ago

n. also see: [Traditionist], [Right Wing]. A person who's morals and values are based on those that are taught by the Judeo-Christianity religion. Most of these people live very basic lives and therefore are underrated by [liberals]. This is a grand generalisation, and many liberals are very surprised when they argue with well educated conservative. Many people claim that this method is to outdated for modern world, yet it has gotten the Western world where it is today.

It is only now that because Conservative attitudes are declining that the Western world is. The lower birth rate and the advancing of [AIDS] supports this [theory].

29. (Conservative) (42↑, 11↓)
Someone who usually holds "Christian" values but says and does the most un-christian things. One who thinks that the poor are poor because they are lazy and that the rich earned their success. One who fails to adapt to the present day. The type of person who hates Mexicans with a fiery passion and thinks all brown-skinned Hispanics are Mexicans. They type of person who is against same-sex marriage because it's not "traditional marriage" and denies any arguement against it. One who simply denies any arguement and labels the other person as a "dirty liberal." One who is in adoration of the 9/11 heroes but denies them benefits for what they did. A person who usually labels themselves as "pro-life" but supports war and doesn't want health care that everyone can afford. Usually borderline racist or very racist. Conservative Motto: Never explain, Never apologize.

Bob: Hey\! You're a dirty liberal\! Jim: Dirty? Why? Bob: Because you stand for everything America isn't\! Jim: Isn't it "American" to help other people and ask for rights? Bob: Well, um...well...uhhhhhhhhhh.... Jim: It appears you have lost this arguem- Bob: SHUT UP\! YOU DIRTY, STINKING LIBERAL\! Jim: Cutting me off and name-calling....Well well, aren't you mature?

1.) Anybody who is not left of centre or a Canadian drug addict/whore 2.) Anybody who supports traditional beliefs and corporal punishment for truancy from these beliefs. 3.)People who do not believe in radical changes (eg emancipating illegal drug supply), think it is about time the Canadian government built long required freeways in main centres to resolve gridlock (not a pack of protesters or tree huggers, but a plethora of sedate motor vehicles whose advancement is impeded by a paucity of infastructure to accomodate them), believes the Canadian Prime Minister should walk into Lake Ontario and never return.

I am proud to be a member of the Sovereign of the British Monarchy. Notice how in the early days, misbehaving children who received corporal punishments were somewhat reluctant to re-offend their elders. Building new freeways in North America's heavily congested centres would be a truly Conservative choice; traffic flow would improve and possibly even improve the gas mileage of your Ford Taurus, you Ontarian drug addict.

Usually a person who believes more in their own self interests (i.e. price of their gas) then the welfare of others or the environment.

A conservative is someone who thinks resources like land, water, timber and oil are owed to Man in infinite abundance by an invisible deity until Jesus returns, at which point the Earth and all its raw materials will be purged. The Bible gives the exact date of this liberating event. Thus, conservation, environmental regulations and other forms of greed-control are socialist plots against patriots who are merely pillaging resources per God's Plan. Never mind that the world is getting increasingly overpopulated and rife with scarcity. The Chosen Ones are above the laws of nature.

Being a good conservative, he mocked the recycling program as not cost-effective, threw his aluminum can in the trash, and sped away in his Yukon Denial with Limbaugh bleating about the "global warming hoax."

A Political phrase that has been thrown around so much that it has lost its meaning and has many people who pretend to be it(Just as with the word [Liberal]). Conservatives generally believe in less government and a government that only steps in when necessary. On Economic Issues, Conservatives generally believe in low taxes, a flat income tax(seeing that it is the only equal and constitutional way to conduct a tax) and financial independence. They believe that a person's money belongs to the person, not the government. They believe in less government spending and fewer government programs. They are against welfare(both Corporate and Private) and intervention in the economy. These beliefs are generally known as "Fiscal Conservatism". On Social Issues, Conservatives believe in interfering only when someone's constitutional rights are at risk. This is why many Conservatives are Pro-Life(they see abortion as an attack on a human being's constitutional right to live). Conservatives are against "Big Brother" telling you how to live your life. Many Conservatives believe in an idea known as "Peace Through Strength." An idea that revolves around military strength and the power of intimidation to avoid war. Conservatives are usually identified with the [Republican Party], although in recent years, the Party has broken into a civil war between Conservatives and Neo-Conservatives(Not to be confused with Conservatives). And, recently, Neo-Conservatives have began to use the term "conservative" to refer to their own beliefs. However, some prominent Conservatives, such as John McCain, Ron Paul, and Fred Thompson, have risen and popularity as well as the ideas behind True Conservatism.

John McCain and Ron Paul are Conservatives, Rush Limbaugh is not.

People who tend to have black and white opinions on nearly every issue in the universe. Don't realize the importance of [situational ethics]. This is most likely the result of a fundamentalist religious upbringing.

A nine year old girl, tragically, is raped and impregnated by her stepfather. What to do? According to the religious absolutist, abortion is, under all circumstances, 100% wrong. Unless the birth is life-threatening, she can't abort. Moderate: I don't normally support abortion, but here it's necessary. Liberal: I think abortion is a right that belongs to the mother. I would support her right to choose if this girl was nine or twenty nine, raped or non-raped. (although i would personally disapprove of it in the latter). Conservative: Fucking baby killers\! It's an innocent fucking BABY we're talking about\! (as opposed to a non-sentient cluster of cells, lacking a nervous system and the ability to feel pain)

there are 2 types of conservatives. There are gun slinging rednecks with no education and there are rich, greedy corporate executives who destroy our economy, monoplize all of the wealth and try to corrupt our politicians. The second type believes that the working class should starve and die while the rich should enjoy HUGE fucking tax cuts. However most type 2 conservatives are also poorly educated and watch nascar and believe that only pure aryan protestants should be allowed to live in the U.S.

George bush is a conservative tight wad that is obsessed with [nascar],helping out his already wealthy friends who own [Halliburton] and believes that it is acceptable to use [religion] as a basis for our [government].

One who believes that the rights of the state come before the rights of the people. Generally, people who are conservative are against [gun control], [abortion], and [gay marriage]. However, the particular set of beliefs is dependent upon the specific person. In contrast, smart liberals like to promote equality, as well as helping others.

Conservative: I is smart Liberal: Sure my ignorant friend. [Otto von Bismarck], Prime Minister of the German Confederation, tried to end the influence of [Karl Marx] and [socialism]. Ironically, his efforts only made the Socialists stronger.

Someone who runs political campaigns full of lies and dirty tricks, and if you don't like it, move to Canada. 4. Someone who cuts taxes to make the super rich even richer while increasing spending and putting the country deep in debt, and if you don't like it, move to Canada.

Conservative, the opposite of [liberal]. They believe in tradional [values], [family], and [government]. Many of whom are Christian. They are underrated by many (liberals) because they(liberals) believe there is no need for the basics. They are right away thought of as 'stupid', because liberals have put themselves on the high-stool. But in actually fact, conservatives come in many intelligent forms, and the liberals 'quickness to judge' will catch up to them.

Conservatism has been the base of all the great Western nations of the world, and most Eastern ones too.

42. (conservative) (169↑, 161↓)
(adj.) 1. Literally, indicative of a sparing application. Frugal. 2. In the U.S., commonly used by many members of the Republican Party to contrast themselves with [liberal] politicians, commonly of the Democratic Party. 3. Originally used by Republican Party (U.S.) members to mean conservative application of laws, or minimal government. 4. In modern times, used to indicate existing or past values as opposed to new values. In this sense, "conservative" refers to personal behavior rather than the use of laws. A synonym for this definition would be "unchanging."

Usage notes: When using the word, it is important to note whether it is used to refer to a political theory/system or personal values/behavior. In the case of number 3 above, both the Republican and Democratic parties hold conservative _political_ values (in that they want minimal government regulation), but about different subjects. For example, the Democratic Party typically believes in conservative (minimal) use of laws regarding drugs, sexual practices, and film/TV. The Republican Party does not follow conservative political theory in those matters, but does for issues of taxation, guns, and employment practices. However, even though both parties hold conservative political values in some cases, neither maintains a consistant philosophy based on conservative application of government regulation. Both the Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S. use the word to refer to enforcing conservative _personal_values_ (such as those influenced by religious background or otherwise, see number 4 above), but with differing opinions as to whether or not it is a good thing. The original political use for the word conservative, as in number 3 above, is more similar to the political adjective/noun [libertarian] in use today, which describes a philosophy of minimal government,

A conservative is someone who adheres to principles of personal responsibility, moral values, and limited government, agreeing with George Washington's Farewell Address that "religion and morality are indispensable supports" to political prosperity.[1][2] Former President Ronald Reagan said, "The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom."[3]

A conservative view as in politics, or being a true patriot of the Great Country of America. Your values and world view,

45. (Conservative) (328↑, 339↓)
Those who believe in doing whats right and having a strong moral base. Those who believe in hard work and not being given everything by the government. The individual is the most important things to conservatives. They believe that the government isnt the answer to the problem but that government is the problem.

Liberal: The government should pay for my health care and we should tax everything. Conservative: Stop buying weed you freaking hippy and maybe you can pay your medical bill. And give my money back so I can actually do something good with it instead of giving it to freaking drug addicts.

46. (conservative) (112↑, 133↓)

47. (conservative) (7↑, 29↓)
Someone who believes in the principles of limited government, sound classical economic policy, and/or federalism. See [founding fathers]. Except Jefferson. Screw Jefferson. DO NOT SEE [Neoconservative], i.e. who believes in the principles of a socially active federal government that avoids any discussion of economic theory.

I may be a conservative, but don't hold it against me, its only because I have read an economic textbook before. Jefferson sucks. Liberal: Don't elect him, he's a social facist\! Conservative: That may be true, but what does that have to do with me being a politician?

50. (conservative) (77↑, 108↓)
One who believes that the government should not interfere much (if at all) with the economy or a person's privacy. One who believes that a man needs to pull himself up by his own bootstraps, become self-reliant, stop taking taxes and start paying them. One who believes that taxes themselves should be kept to a minimum. One who believes in a person's right to free speech and religion, one who abhors censorship. One who believes that it is the people who should lead the country, not the government. One who believes that a man deserves his own earnings and the government doesn't need to be taking away chunks of his hard labor. One who sees people like Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama and can't help but shudder at the thought that either one might actually become the next President, both being extremely horrible choices. Conservative is a term free from religious and racial associations/prejudices, although often associated with "bigot", something that has nothing to do with conservatism. All in all, conservatives are the polar opposite of fascists, although they face plenty of name calling despite the fact that the fascists that people are referring to when insulting conservatives had very liberal policies and are only related to conservatives in the sense that they acknowledge the importance of a strong military, because by God if there's a country that needs a strong military, it's America.

Affirmative action is one of the most racist things conceived. It is a policy that, in its existence, basically says that all people who are not white are intellectually inferior to white people and thus, need a helping hand from the government. Hypothetical conversation: "Are you a liberal?" "Nope. I'd rather think for myself than have the government do it for me." "So you're a fascist?" "I just answered that. I said no. I'm a conservative." "So you're a Christian?" "Kind of, but what does that have to do with it?" "Hah\! So you're a fascist\!" "No, you're just an idiot."

51. (Conservative) (19↑, 55↓)
Politically: Someone who thinks from the right of the brain rather than the left and basing their choices purely on emotions, but basing them on rational and usually religious viewings. The Conservative ideas are not very popular beliefs...according to the American media...and are often ridiculed for their choices that are made and often called [homophobic] for being against homosexuality or [Nazis] for believing that war can sometimes keep peace in the human world. Their ideas include: -Against Gun Control -Pro-War (most wars) -Against Abortion -Against Homosexuality -Less government interfering with American's lives -Traditional (usually [Christian]) choices rather than more reformations of the United States Constitution These ideas are opposite of the Liberal ideas

Conservatives are constantly made fun of by the media for not wanting change brought to the United States.

52. (conservative) (22↑, 65↓)
1) someone who follows the ideas of the right wing of the political spectrum, usually in keeping what already exists and is in practice. 2) someone who would have a murderer killed and the life of an unborn baby saved; someone who prefer to kill those who deserve it over the innocent. 3) someone with any sanity at all that doesn't hate America and doesn't want our culture removed so we can be sensitive to terrorists.

58. (Conservative) (267↑, 355↓)
The right way to be. This is what you are or what you become if you really care about saving [America]. Conservatives care about the moral fabric of society, our children, family values, the influences and culture of society, education, healthcare, the defense of our nation, and so much more.

The political party that saves the United States from the brain disorder that is liberalism.

the conservative party wants to keep the US the world power. what do the liberals want? the liberals want to take my money, that i worked hard to get, to give to that drug addict on the street who dropped out of high school in 9th grade at the age of 18. the liberals want to protect the deer in alaska so we don't drill in ANWR for oil that we need. (they don't want us taking the foriegn oil. so where should we get it?) the tundra is like a 4000 square mile frozen parking lot. i don't think the deer will mind. the liberals want to take 2 equally qualified high school graduates and put the black one in a college because he's black. wow, we've really come a far way in civil rights. the liberals want to pull the troops out of the middle east. Newsflash, they attacked us first, like Pearl Harbor. Should we just sit idly by and get attacked again? No, these people will stop at nothing to kill all Americans. Somehow they forget that. liberals, sit back, leave the adults in charge please.

Old definition: One who wishes to preserve old evils as opposed to a liberal who clamors for new ones. New definition: Someone who believes in ultra-fascist government where a single leader makes all decisions and is unquestionable, combined with a radical upward redistribution of income and cruelty for the fun of it; as opposed to a liberal who wants to dismantle the military, trust terrorists not to hurt us, and eat the rich. One of two classes of [fuckwit] in this country.

How dare you attack the integrity of the president in front of me, I'm a conservative you know.
