Conservative Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Conservative modernisers point to Afriyie's election as evidence that the party is changing, though opponents argue that the election of a single black MP doesn't count for much against the perceived right-wing anti-immigrant campaign fought by the Conservatives in 2005. Though the Conservatives were considered to be the dominant governing party in the United Kingdom for the duration of the 19th and 20th Centuries, since losing the 1997 election to the Labour Party under Tony Blair, they have been in 'opposition' in Parliament. Though Thatcher herself was socially conservative, her supporters harbour a range of social opinions from the liberal views of Michael Portillo to the traditional conservatism of William Hague and David Davis. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)   (4701 words)

Conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Burkean conservatives value them for their own sake, because they are the result of long experience, but religious conservatives may use 'community values' as a euphemism for their own Christian values, or even for theonomy. The Conservative Party in Britain was a staunch defender of the British Empire, and was responsible for initial brutal repression of African decolonisation. The revered Conservative Winston Churchill wrote in the 1920's that he was "strongly in favour of using poison gas against uncivilised tribes.", and did in fact authorise use of poison gas in Iraq. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Conservative   (4879 words)

Conservative Judaism Conservative Judaism holds that the laws of the Torah and Talmud are of divine origin, and thus mandates the following of halacha (Jewish law). Conservative Judaism believes that scholarly study of Jewish texts indicates that Judaism has constantly been evolving to meet the needs of the Jewish people in varying circumstances, and that a central halachic authority can continue the halachic evolution today. Conservative Judaism attempts to combine a positive attitude toward modern culture, acceptance of critical secular scholarship regarding Judaism's sacred texts and commitment to Jewish observance. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org /jsource/Judaism/conservatives.html   (574 words)

Conservative By Conservative principles I mean that, coexistent with equality of civil rights and privileges, there shall be an established religion and imperishable faith and that established religion shall maintain the doctrines of the Protestant Church... The duty of the Conservative government was to govern; the purpose of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons was to support that government with its votes. To Peel, the Conservative Party was primarily "a constitutional and religious party" and he never regarded maintaining the Corn Laws as sine qua non of Conservatism. www.victorianweb.org /history/conservative.html   (1870 words)

The Kirk Center - The Essence of Conservatism by Russell Kirk The conservative appeals beyond the rash opinion of the hour to what Chesterton called “the democracy of the dead”—that is, the considered opinions of the wise men and women who died before our time, the experience of the race. Conservatives value property for its own sake, of course; but they value it even more because without it all men and women are at the mercy of an omnipotent government. The conservative does not aspire to domination of the world, nor does he relish the prospect of a world reduced to a single pattern of government and civilization. www.kirkcenter.org /kirk/essence-1957.html   (1794 words)

Conservative - SourceWatch Traditional-value conservatives often favor policing the behavior of society, an attitude that contradicts the libertarian wing of the conservative movement, which advocates limited government in people's lives. When the term is used as an invective, it is often referencing some shade of conservative the speaker is opposed to in an effort to convince the listener that all types are of that type. According to the common political spectrum, conservatives are generally considered right wing, but neither of those term is precisely defined. www.sourcewatch.org /index.php?title=Conservative   (414 words)

American Conservative Union Many Republican politicians still call themselves conservatives but have pretty well abandoned the core belief in limited government that held the movement together in earlier days and brought them to power…They figure that Democrats succeeded for decades by playing Santa Claus and that they can hold onto power by doing the same.

Urban Dictionary: conservative 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. 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.

The Kirk Center - Russell Kirk's Thought Tenth, the thinking conservative understands that permanence and change must be recognized and reconciled in a vigorous society. In 1953, with the publication of The Conservative Mind, Russell Kirk set out six “canons” that he considered a reasonable summary or outline of the significant themes common among conservative thinkers. Seventh, conservatives are persuaded that freedom and property are closely linked. www.kirkcenter.org /kirk/thought.html   (267 words)

Conservative by Charley Reese A conservative Christian recognizes that he is commanded to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and comfort the sick and dying. A conservative does not approve of wars, except in defense of the land and the people, and only upon a declaration of war by both houses of Congress. That is a definition of conservative straight out of the "How to Dupe the Dumb Masses" manual used by professional campaign managers like Karl Rove. www.lewrockwell.com /reese/reese140.html   (771 words)

OpinionJournal - Extra Sure, some conservatives are upset because he has tolerated a surge in federal spending, downplayed swollen deficits, failed to use his veto, created a vast Department of Homeland Security, and fashioned an alliance of sorts with Teddy Kennedy on education and Medicare. On most issues, his position is standard conservative: a pro-lifer who expects to sign a ban on partial birth abortion, he's against stem-cell research and gun control, and has drawn the line at gay marriage. Big government conservatives are favorably disposed toward what neoconservative Irving Kristol has called a "conservative welfare state." (Neocons tend to be big government conservatives.)

La Shawn Barber’s Corner Conservatives are usually pretty easy on bloggers, as the most important and influential blog swarms tend to be generated by conservative bloggers trying to right the wrongs of the leftist mainstream media (MSM). That’s why I was taken aback by Kathleen Parker’s latest column, Lord of the Blogs, where she likens some bloggers to the marooned little (murderous) souls in Lord of the Flies. And when Republicans are called “racists&; for suggesting that government dependence is NOT the way to go through life, the compassionate and tolerant Democrats get to pat themselves on their collective liberal back as the government-dependent continue to vote for the “generous” party. lashawnbarber.com   (2097 words)

Queer Conservative Formerly an avid liberal back when the center of my personal universe was being "gay," I gradually grew up and became more conservative throughout the 1990's calling myself a "libertarian," only to have a bucket of ice-cold reality thrown on me on 9/11. Not enough are willing to set aside the material ambitions of this transient world, put morality first, and risk their lives for the cause of humanity. The Washington Blade has named Pope Benedict XVI the "Anti-gay Person of the Year." Now, while Pope Benny isn't a PFLAG member by any means, I say the Washington Blade is being willfully ingnorant. queer-conservative.blogspot.com   (3112 words)

Amazon.com: The Concise Conservative Encyclopedia: 200 of the Most Important Ideas, Individuals, Incitements, and Institutions that Have Shaped the Movement: Books: Brad Miner Not every term is literally a "conservative term" ; some are included because they enable the author to more clearly explain conservative philosophy, such as "liberal arts," "liberalism," and "libertarianism." Likewise, individuals are included who are not conservative, or who have had other "leanings," but have nevertheless influenced the development of conservative thought. Interspersed among the text are five brief essays, each written by a scholar, on the origins of conservative thought (beginning with the Greeks and Romans). The Concise Conservative Encyclopedia is more up to date and pithy than either the Dictionary of American Conservatism (Philosophical Library, 1987) or A Dictionary of Conservative and Libertarian Thought (Routledge, 1991). www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0684800438?v=glance   (1041 words)
