Conservatives generally don't think that a functioning system of morality can be derived by reason from universal principles, at least not as a practical matter, so they think that loyalty to the particular tradition in which one grew up is part of the necessary basis of morality.
Conservatives do tend to favor free markets when the alternative is the expansion of bureaucracy for the sake of implementing liberal goals.
If you were raised in one of them, the conservative approach would be to look to what it was that the people you grew up with really relied on in their lives, and also to the traditions of the community upon which the group among whom you grew up depended for its existence.

 ISAR - Right Now! A Forum for Eugenecists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Politically the RCC was an attempt to promote Revolutionary Conservatism in Britain, drawing inspiration from the French intellectual Old Right, principally the Action Français led by Charles Maurras, and the German Conservative Revolution, which was driven by Oswald Spengler and Ernst Junger.
In one RCC publication the Jewish conspiracy was dismissed as "essentially a fiction; a sort of sub-poetic image, an intellectually second-rate way of apprehending reality whose origins are to be found in High Catholic integralism and the various occult ideas which the Nazis took from the Thule Society.
For some conservatives, who have long been hostile to the concept of a well funded welfare state, this argument is becoming increasingly appealing, especially when all politicians seem obsessed about reducing the tax burden for the middle class.

Taking a page from President Clinton's post-1994 playbook of bite-sized, poll-driven policy initiatives, the suburban caucus is promoting tax-free college savings plans, open-space preservation and greater latitude for school officials to conduct background checks on teachers and coaches.
He points out that the caucus spans the suburban spectrum, taking in members who represent both the inner suburbs as well as the fast-growing exurbs.

"The Conservative believes that the individual is foolish, although the species is wise; unkike the confident intellectual, he declines to undertake the reconstruction of society and human nature upon the scanty capital of his private stock of reason.
The high-minded Conservative believes in Principle, or enduring values ascertained through appreciation of the wisdom of dead generations, the study of history, and the reconciliation of authority with the altered circumstances of our present life.
The Conservative is not committed to preserving our morality, institutions, laws, and procedures precisely as they now are, let alone to upholding their abuses, but he is committed to the notion that reforms must be accomplished by Americans through constitutional process, and neither through revolution nor imposition by a foreign conqueror."

 Transitional Program - Revolutionary Agenda for the US - Resolution
Although a concentration on the crisis of the trade union movement is essential for revolutionary Marxists in the U.S. today, it would be a serious mistake to ignore other essential social issues and problems, which exist independently of the workers’ movement per se, though they are strongly intertwined and interrelated with it.
Ultimately, the creation of a revolutionary leadership in the United States, which can win significant influence among the masses, apply the transitional method, and recruit the majority of the most advanced layers to a Leninist party, is the key to solving the crisis – not only of U.S. working people but of all humanity.
The effort to rebuild the unity of the revolutionary Marxist organization in the U.S. today is particularly important because both the main social-democratic formation (Democratic Socialists of America) and the main Stalinist formation (the Communist Party U.S.A.) are becoming more aggressive in their efforts to recruit militant workers and activists.

 Trotskyist Work In the Trade Unions
For a small revolutionary force of only 2,000 (this figure represented rapid growth at the end of the war period) to take such an attitude toward the vast trade-union bureaucracy simply served to weaken the forces which could have built revolutionary leadership by struggling against the inevitable bureaucratic betrayals.
This revolutionary optimism was not matched in the trade unions by the open preparation of revolutionary leadership through "third group" caucuses, however, but by an orientation first toward the more progressive bureaucratic reformists who were leading strike struggles or breaking with their previous allies, the discredited Stalinists.
At the 1947 convention, the SWP switched its support to the Thomas-Addes caucus, on the grounds that the militants were already fed up with Reuther and an attempt had to be made to halt the latter's drive toward one-man dictatorial rule.

 Michael Charles Smith – 2008 Republican Campaign for U.S. President - Labels; Liberal vs Conservative?
Well, M-W say “conservative” is “tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions, or institutions.” They define “conservatism” as a “disposition to preserve what is established” and “a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change.” Hell no, I’m not conservative by that definition.
Conservative in this application applies to preserving the established principles of the constitution, even if that represents a radical change from recent established tradition.
I think the definitions you have for liberal and conservative may be thought of as a little “off”.

 Powell's Books - Whistling Past Dixie: How Democrats Can Win Without the South by Thomas F. Schaller   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
After winning and governing successfully elsewhere, Democrats can then present their record of achievement to the South — the nation's most conservative region, but one that is steadily assimilating with the politics of the rest of America and, therefore, will become more competitive in the future.
The analysis is clinical, not emotional, which means that Edsall can be sympathetic to conservatives' genuine cultural concerns even as he's being clear-eyed about the GOP's rejection of the politics of consensus and its use of anger and fear to rouse its base and demonize its opposition.
At least one suggestion — that Democrats realign their primary and caucus structure to spotlight winnable Western states — is so prescient the party has done just that by moving Nevada's voting earlier in the process.
