Movement conservative

From Conservapedia

A movement conservative is one who supports all or nearly all conservative principles with a coherent philosophy, and who advances broad conservative goals both individually and through teamwork. This is contrasted with cafeteria, or single-issue, or self-serving approaches.

Put another way, a movement conservative is a conservative who seeks to help others, and the nation, by explaining, advocating and defending the logical and beneficial conservative approach. A movement conservative is not primarily seeking political gain for himself, but advocates the insights and values of conservatism for the benefit of others.

Examples of movement conservatives would include:

• The late Senator Jesse Helms
• The late President Ronald Reagan
• The late Congressman John Ashbrook
• The late Journalist Robert Novak
• Activist Phyllis Schlafly
• Justice Clarence Thomas
• The late University President Jerry Falwell
• United Nations Ambassador John Bolton
• Columnist Thomas Sowell
• Talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh
• U.S. Representative for Minnesota's 6th District Michele Bachmann
• Author and talk-radio host Mark Levin
