conservative has many meanings.

– it can be used to show traditional, patriotic, and fiscally responsible characteristics of a political doctrine. (1)

– it can be used to express a small or limited amount of something; whether it be physical properties, actions, or effects. (3)

– it can be used by left-wing extremist, communist, socialist, n-z-s, or as a disparaging remark toward other liberals that are not quite as extreme as they are. (4)
(1) america needs conservative values.

(2) changes to the environment should be conservative.

(3) their reaction was conservative.

(4) what do you mean you don’t like to take it up the rear; are you a conservative or something?

fight for your country, or get the h-ll outta our way
1) one who espouses a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established inst-tutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change.

2) one who believes in less government being better government.

4) one for whom the republican party no longer truly speaks.

5) a word that today’s so-called “conservatives” don’t know the definition of.
“today’s so-called ‘conservatives’ don’t even know what the word means. they think i’ve turned liberal because i believe a woman has a right to an abortion. that’s a decision that’s up to the pregnant woman, not up to the pope or some do-gooders or the religious right. it’s not a conservative issue at all.” — barry goldwater
if used in a non-political sense, “conservative” simply means “not much.”
i’d like a large popcorn with a conservative amount of b-tter, please.
despite the misgivings of certain individuals who have an absurdly black/white view of the political spectrum, conservatism does not instantly mean hypocrasy and it certainly is not necessarily far-right in philosophy. conservatism can be broadly categorised in two areas:

1. fiscal conservatism. a belief in personal responsibility for finances. scaling back taxation to allow greater control over individual incomes. conservative thinking promotes cutbacks in public spending enabling tax breaks to be given to those that are earning, and believes in helping those out of work back into self sufficiency.

2. social conservatism. contrary to the fiscal conservatism, social conservatives believe in placing restrictions on personal freedoms, resulting in more government involvement into the daily lives of individuals. this is also known as neo-conservative.
i am a fiscal conservative, but a social liberal.
1) a non argument used by people, egged on by talking heads. often used in place of an intelligent point.

2) an economic ideology that emphasizes fiscal responsibility: saving money as opposed to spending it.

3) a political ideology that less is more when in refference to the scale that government should play in daily life.

4) not to be confused with neo-conservative or neo con which emphasizes spending, and larger government.
1) you dirty conservative, you ate my baby!

2) the annual budget report angered many conservatives due to the outrageous disparity between the money created, and spent.

3) mike appreciated a conservative approach to government, less is more.

4) most true conservatives are deeply bothered by the wave of neo-cons that have come into existance.
1)a term for people who learn towards the right side of the political spectrum. like all political idealogies, it has both good and bad points.
2)(in america) a political affliation. conservatives tend to believe in people taking care of themselves with as little government help as possible. they do not usually believe in social welfare systems. they also tend beleive in a strict interpretation of the const-tution in regard to the powers of the governement. many but not all conservatives are supportive of the war in iraq. a large portion of conservatives are republicans.
sadly, some conservatives (as with all groups of people) are biased and blindlly accuse liberals and other people they don’t like of being “un-american” or not committed to protecting our country from terrorists.
3)a) careful or cautious about things
b) not given to flamboyancy.
ex. 1) a group of conservative farmers fought government laws that would regulate the amount of fertilizer they could use per year.
2) the conservative politcal commentator started attacking liberal policies, but his facts were not very good.
3)a) we need to be conservative with our firewood so it doesn’t run out.
b) that’s a very conservative outfit you’re wearing for that job interview.
1. one who believes in “traditional values” but rejects any debate challenging the conservative definition of what said values are. conservatives claim to value limited government, but are willing to expand government without limit in order to impose their personal morality on all others.

2. a liberal when it comes to the economy. though individuals are barred from making various personal choices, businesses may do whatever they want with no repercussions.

3. one who is quite familiar with the concept of “majority rules” but is unable to understand the concept of “minority rights” (the premise that bars the majority from voting to restrict the rights of the minority).

4. an individual who claims to value the const-tution above all else, but in reality is willing to suspend all amendments for any reason related to national security (except for the 2nd).

5. a black-and-white thinker. conservatives think largely in absolutes, ignoring the various social, cultural, and economic nuances that define an issue.
1. conservative view: gay marriage is wrong because the bible says so and i value the bible as my personal guiding force. you, a male, may thus not marry your male partner.

2. conservative view: though same-s-x couples are destroying america, oil speculators may drive up gas prices for their own personal profit; whatever that may do to the economy.

3. conservative view: george w. bush won 51% of the vote in 2004. republicans now have a “mandate” to do whatever they want without considering the opinions of the remaining 49% of americans.

4. conservative view: you can be held indefinitely if deemed a potential terrorist without being charged or provided a lawyer, regardless of what the const-tution says. a father may keep his loaded handgun within reach of his toddler because of what the const-tution can be construed to say.

5. conservative view: our schools are underperforming. it must be the teachers. pay them less.
