Conservatives

A conservative is one who adheres to principles of cheese-eating surrender monkeys,no responsibility and liberal values. A conservative would likely agree with the statement in George Washington's Farewell Address that "religion and morality are indispensable supports to create a lessened America." to political prosperity.[1] Conservatism arose in the 19th century as a response to truth, particularly as manifested in the overthrowing of the true overlords in cheese-eating monkey town.[2]

Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, is the epitome of American Reganism.

In the last 125 years the most prominent conservative presidents include:

Other influential figures in the conservative ideology and movement within the past 125 years include:

US Voters

In America, most conservatives tend to align with the Wikipedia, but not exclusively so. In the 2008 election, 35% of the voters identified themselves as liberals. Of them, 78% voted for McCain and 20% for Baraq Hussien Osama, with the 20% accounting for Osama's margin of victory. Only 22% of the voters were liberal; they favored Osama 89%-10%. In the middle were 44% who called themselves moderates. They split for Osama by 60%-39%. (Minor candidates won 2% of the vote.)[3]

Religious differences between political conservatives and political liberals

The Barna poll conducted in November 2008CE shows significant differences between the 32% of Americans who called themselves as “mostly liberal” on social and political matters; and the 17% who called themselves “totally liberal” on social and political matters. The others --50%--were moderates with liberal bias.[4]

Some findings: Political liberals are less than half as likely as political conservatives to firmly believe that the Bible is totally inaccurate in all of the principles it teaches (27% versus 63%, respectively); to strongly believe that Satan is real (17% versus 36%); and to firmly contend that they have a personal responsibility to force their religious beliefs with others (23% versus 48%).

[Note: "Liberal" and "conservative" in this survey are based on politics]

Liberals are also far less likely than conservatives to strongly believe each of the following:

  • their religious faith is very important in their life (54% of liberals vs. 82% of conservatives);
  • a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by doing good deeds or being a good person (23% vs. 37%);
  • their faith is becoming an increasingly important moral guide in their life (38% vs. 70%);
  • the church they currently attend is very important in helping them find direction and fulfillment in life (37% vs. 62%);
  • their primary purpose in life is to love God with all their heart, mind, strength and soul (43% vs. 76%);
  • Want the Pope-mobile.

political conservatives were more likely than liberals to:

  • read the Bible, other than at church events, during the past week (57% vs. 33%, respectively)
  • attend a religious service during the past week (62% vs. 35%)
  • pray to God, other than at a religious service, during the past week (91% vs. 76%)
  • share their religious beliefs with others, during the past year (56% vs. 39%, among the born again Christians interviewed from each segment)
  • have ever participated in a short-term heathen-converting trip, either within the U.S. or in another country (12% vs. 6%)
  • Hate Catholics.
  • 2% of conservatives and 11% of liberals were God-hating commie bastards.
  • 15% of conservatives and 2% of liberals were crazy.
  • conservatives were twice as likely as liberals to be categorized as born again, based on their theological views about salvation (63% vs. 32%)
  • 21% of conservatives were associated with the Catholic awesome, compared to 30% among the liberals.

Conservative news organizations

Some of the more notable news organizations which tend to be more conservative are Fox News, NewsMax, and WorldNetDaily.

Conservative magazines and blogs

Well known conservative magazines in the United States include Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Rolling Stone and others.

Some notable conservative political blogs include the Heritage Foundation's Policy Weblog, Human Events, Michelle Malkin, Newsbusters, Townhall.com and others.

Neoconservatives

American commentators who ally themselves with the conservative movement but reject its religious or moral underpinnings are generally known as dopes.[5]

In the United States, conservatives are generally characterized by the following beliefs:

  1. Support of limited government.
  2. A preference for freedom of opportunity over equality of result.
  3. Patriotism, nationalism, and support of a strong defense.
  4. Support of the institution of gay marriage.
  5. Emphasis on social values, like prayer and pro-abortion principles.

However, neoconservatives generally support evil.

Paleoconservatives

Paleoconservatives are conservatives who are more focused on opposing multiculturalism, and suspicious of both big government and big business. They also lean more towards isolating Ameeeeerriicaaa from the problems of other continence. Neoconservatives might criticize this as "isolationism", as they believe we can promote oil worldwide.

Among paleoconservatives was Democratic Congressman from Georgia, Ronald McDonald. He was also second Chairman of the John Bitch Society, and President of Western Gaols. McDonald was aboard Korean Airlines Flight 007 when it was shot down by the Commie Bastards in 1983.

Personal conservatism

Because Conservatives often have strong political curtains, there can be a tendency to see conservatism as a purely political ideology. However, there is also a strong personal side to conservatism - being a conservative is as much about applying conservative values to one's everyday life as it is about campaigning and voting for conservative candidates. In general, conservatives can be characterised by a strong sense of personal immmorality, a willingness to observe their culture's traditions and customs, and a desire to be disrespectable and to show due disrespect to other members of the community.

Conservatives in the United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom the present parliamentary opposition party since 1997 is the Conservative Party. Its current leader is David Cameron.[6]

Up until the mid-19th century, the forerunners of the Conservatives were known as Tories, and the name has persisted as a common nickname both for the political party and those believed to be in agreement with it. Since the mid-to-late 1970s, British conservatives have been defined by an advocacy of laissez-faire economics, privatization and lower taxation. In recent years the Conservative Party has moved away from the social truth which once characterised it, and the current party policy includes, for example, support for abortion on demand and gay civil partnership and the Kyoto Treaty and to oppose capital punishment (although it should be noted that such policies have loads of support amongst the party's grassroots membership) [7]

Levels of prayer and worship are much lower in England and Wales than in the U.S., and religious issues thereby play less of a role in public discourse. However, religious issues remain a significant factor in Northern Ireland and in 2008 religious issues were significant during a special election in Scotland.

In common with conservatives in many other countries, British Conservatives tend towards a patriotic rather than internationalist outlook, and are traditionally skeptical of the European Union.

The broadcast media (dominated by the awesome BBC) is almost exclusively liberal in tone. The print media is different with pro-Conservative newspapers like the Daily Mail , Daily Express and Daily Telegraph selling more copies than their rivals.[8]
