	Political Correctness St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		Political correctness was neither a social movement nor a coherent political platform, but rather a tendency among governing bodies, especially in academic institutions, to police the spoken, written, or implied beliefs of those with whom they disagreed.
		But political correctness at the end of the twentieth century took on its meaning beginning in the 1980s, when conservative campus advocates began using the phrase to describe the leftist movement to increase multicultural, gay, and feminist studies and to impose codes of conduct that would eliminate behaviors deemed racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise unacceptable.
		When those politically powerful groups first emerged on college campuses in the 1980s, they were largely identified with the generation of academics who had come of age in the 1960s and had recently acquired enough power, through tenure or academic leadership, to enact their agenda.

	TAP: Vol 14, Iss. 8. Framing the Dems. George Lakoff. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Conservatives have worked for decades and spent billions on their think tanks to establish their frames, create the right language, and get the language and the frames they evoke accepted.
		When this view is translated into politics, the government becomes the strict father whose job for the country is to support (maximize overall wealth) and protect (maximize military and political strength).
		In this view, the job of government is to care for, serve and protect the population (especially those who are helpless), to guarantee democracy (the equal sharing of political power), to promote the well-being of all and to ensure fairness for all.

	Conservatism Defined - Source for Political Terminology Analysis and Defintions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Institutional conservatives in the United States are generally opposed to expansion of publicly funded medicine, but institutional conservatives in most European countries would be equally loath to cut their national health programs back to US levels.
		Beyond this, heterosexual social conservatives are unlikely to wish to see the definition of marriage extended to include same-sex marriage, while gay social conservatives are prominent among those advocating same-sex marriage: for the latter, it is a way of (at least potentially) tying their own lives more firmly to a traditional social structure.
		Thus, in a communist country, institutional conservatives are communists; in a mercantilist country, institutional conservatives are mercantilists; in a social-democrat country, institutional conservatives are social-democrats; in a feudal country, institutional conservatives are for feudality; in a libertarian country, institutional conservatives are libertarians.

	Political Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Political rationalism emphasizes the employment of reason in social affairs: that is, individuals ought to submit to the logic and universality of reason rather than their own subjective or cultural preconceptions.
		Conservatives thus do not reject reform but are thoroughly skeptical of any present generation’s or present person’s ability to understand and hence to reshape the vast edifices of behavior and institutions that have evolved with the wisdom of thousands of generations.
		Politically, socialists claim that the free market system (capitalism) should be replaced or reformed, with most arguing for a radical redistribution of resources (usually to ‘workers’ — i.e., those socialists deem who do not presently own anything) and for the state or some form of democratic institution to take over the running of the economy.

	Psychobabble as motivated political liberalism
		Conservatives believe that an adversary usually acts for practical reasons, such as a wish to acquire resources or power, rather than for emotional reasons such as personal likes or dislikes, and is therefore unlikely to be dissuaded by appeasement and generosity.
		The temptation of psychologists to rationalize the political beliefs of others is a recurrent theme in the psychology literature; hence the many pseudo-psychoanalyses of Adolf Hitler, which have shed about as much light on his ideology and behavior as the single-testicle theory alluded to by Doug Powers.
		Politics is the realm of speculative opinions, vicious name-calling, unsubstantiated insinuations, and wild flights of hyperbole; but these are not a part of science.

	LBJ Journal - The Public Record
		In Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think, George Lakoff uses the methods of cognitive linguistics-a field in which he has worked since its infancy-to explain the different worldviews that shape liberal and conservative thought, and why what seems like common sense to one seems like bunk to another.
		This is a common-sense understanding of politics, but it does little to explain a political landscape that includes ideologies, pragmatism, issue- and identity-based politics, and old-fashioned self-interest.
		Political violence exists among all ideologies, and Lakoff's attempts to link it strictly to conservatism hinder, rather than help, the political debate he hopes to foster.

	QEV ANALYTICS Reports - Catholic Voter Project
		Everyone agrees that their political allegiance is now up for grabs after decades of being a lock for the Democrats, but they are also surprisingly finicky, refusing to become solid party votes.
		Despite suspicions of political liberals that sinister political organizing is occurring behind closed doors of the evangelical churches, Catholics are as likely to have received campaign information at their place of worship (18% of active Catholics versus 16% of Christian conservatives).
		But at this political moment, these two groups are united by a common diagnosis of the social crisis and a common desire for an agenda of social and cultural reconstruction.

	Political Affairs Magazine - Another Pyrrhic Victory for White Supremacy
		Additional research indicates that conservatives score lower on measures of extraversion and are less likely to seek out interaction with others, score lower than others on measures of general sensation seeking, and are less likely than others to value broad-mindedness, imagination, and having an exciting life.
		To the extent that conservatives are especially sensitive and attuned to threat or possibility of loss, one reason they attempt to maintain the statue quo, it follows that they should also be more highly motivated by negatively framed outcomes or potential losses than by positively framed outcomes or potential gains.
		Politically conservative orientations are multiply-determined by a wide variety of factors that vary personally and situationally and have both a stable definitional core and a set of more malleable, situationally determined, historically changing peripheral associations.

	YES, CONSERVATIVES CAN GOVERN... PROVIDED THEY ARE CONSERVATIVES
		I will also argue that conservative governance, true conservative governance, is possible (albeit past many difficulties) if there’s a wholesale change in the way conservatives approach governing along with a wholesale change in the culture, without which the politics cannot change in any shape, fashion or form.
		Since American political parties are not ideological vessels by themselves alone and rely in large part on coalitions of different groups of voters, the GOP was more than happy to accept such Democrats into their fold after nearly being at the point of death in the mid-1970s.
		Conservative intellectuals for years tried to get all the conservatives into one tent politically in order to advance their beliefs, but when they accomplished their objective, they had to take a backseat to the politicos in whose job it is to win elections by whatever means necessary.

	Conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although political thought, from its beginnings, contains many strains that can be retrospectively labeled conservative, it was not until the Age of Reason, and in particular the reaction to events surrounding the French Revolution of 1789, that conservatism began to rise as a distinct attitude or train of thought.
		Benjamin Disraeli, himself a member of the Conservative Party in England, wrote in 1845, "A conservative government is an organized hypocrisy." The comment was provoked when the Conservative Party split into two groups, based on whether or not they would personally profit from the repeal of the corn laws.
		In Islam, the Salafist movement is often politically and socially radical, and is violently repressed by governments and distrusted by the majority of mainstream Muslims for that reason.

	The Black Commentator - Analysis: - Poll Shows Black Political Consensus Strong - Issue 17
		The ebbs and flows of Black political self-description are worth watching in the context of where the bulk of Black voters and potential voters actually sit in the political spectrum.
