WASHINGTON — Staunchly pro-Israel conservatives with close ties to the Bush administration say that Jerusalem is hindering America’s global war on terror by failing to wage an all-out war to eliminate Hezbollah.

Gingrich told the Forward that, in a speech he is preparing to deliver September 9 at the conservative American Enterprise Institute in Washington, he will argue that both America and Israel are failing in their fight against global terrorism.

 Third Way: The Conservative Re-Branding Project
All too easily now, conservatives can merely apply the “liberal” label to opposing ideas and conjure-up a whole set of negative associations that can be difficult to overcome, even with hard work, political skill and paid advertising.
Moreover, the term “conservative” has been allowed to grow in political salience, to a point where many progressive candidates now try to label their own policies as “fiscally” or “socially” conservative.
The Conservative Re-Branding Project will work to reverse this historic inequity – it will create a set of message points for progressives that constitute a coherent and compelling narrative about the conservative movement.

 Why the British 'Conservative' party is not a political party at all | Samizdata.net
On my table downstairs is a publication by 'Conservative Way Forward', now these people would hold that the 'Conservative' party does have principles - namely the defence of national independence against the European Union and the restriction of the size and scope of national government itself.
However, the Conservative party is no longer in formal alliance with the main Unionist party in Northern Ireland (and has not been for many years) and whilst, in theory, the Conservative party organizes in Northern Ireland it does not really pay the place much heed.
Conservative principles) are only one set of principles - a political party could have a very different set of principles.

 USCJ: United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism
I found my way to Conservative Judaism in college, because it offered a Judaism that was at once progressive and traditional, that reached to the past with reverence and honor, yet honored that past by keeping it open to change as each new generation saw God's will distilled through a living tradition.
So, like the Conservative movement, I daven from a siddur that is completely and gaudily traditional on the outside, and a little feminist and daring on the inside.
For me, Conservative Judaism is that vessel that allows me to stand with integrity in the place of my ancestors, borrowing the Torah from my children.

 Conservative Book Club: Bad Childhood -- Good Life by Dr. Laura Schlessinger
With empathy and understanding, she reminds adults that they are in control now, unlike in childhood, and may use their power to make positive choices for themselves.
Throughout her book, Dr. Laura emphasizes the importance of resilience, the ability to move forward with grit and determination without automatically viewing present day events through the prism of the past.
On the other hand--and this is the premise of her book--keeping yourself in a perpetual state of victimhood because of childhood pain ensures you will experience little or no movement toward a nondestructive, loving, secure adulthood.

 Aliens in America, by Peter Augustine Lawler - Conservative Monitor
The idea is that the Declaration of Independence, and the founding of America may constitute a move of the individual from a soul-searching miserable man to a complacent creature without a soul who is no longer able to propel himself and society forward in any meaningful way.
Not that these two forces are always mutually exclusive; in many ways they need each other to function properly in our society.
As Lawler and the oft quoted John Courtney Murray would have it, America is a nation where moral boundaries are created, maintained and even imposed on the rest of the world.

 Jonah Goldberg’s G-File on National Review Online
This is why Hayek explicitly exempted American conservatism from his essay “Why I am Not a Conservative.” The conservatives he disliked were mostly continental thinkers who liked the marriage of Church and State, hereditary aristocracies, overly clever cheese, and the rest.
Hence, it seems to me, that no person can call himself a Christian if he isn’t in at least some tiny way a conservative because to be a Christian is to conserve some part of the lessons or teachings of that revolutionary from 2,000 years ago.
Axiomatically, if you are unwilling to conserve any of the institutions, customs, traditions, or principles inherent to this country you simply aren’t patriotic (and, as a side note, the more you think the U.N. is the savior of the world, the less patriotic you are — see my General Rule on Patriotism).

Representative Brian Joyce, a GOP member of the Georgia Legislature with strong conservative principles, has introduced legislation to liberalize Georgia's onerous, arbitrary, and restrictive ballot access laws.
At Representative Joyce's invitation, I had the opportunity to testify on March 2 in behalf of the U.S. Taxpayers Alliance before the Governmental Affairs Committee of the Georgia House of Representatives.
"Nonetheless, onerous requirements encompassing ways and means of gaining access to the official ballot have, all too often, become a means for restricting the ability of candidates to stand for election, and of voters to have a free choice in determining who shall hold positions of electoral responsibility.
