Get the Conservative Socialist mug.Political movement in the USA that combines numerous conservative or rightwing movements into a surprisingly cohesive whole. The Conservative Movement (CM) successfully established a dominant role in the Republican Party, and nearly all GOP officials are affiliated with it.
Members of the Conservative Movement are known as "movement conservatives."
In the USA, political parties themselves are very weak and nebulous; historically, they are not bound to any particular ideology or constituency. Instead, parties take their ideological guidance from movements, which endorse candidates based on their commitment to the goals of that particular movement. Movements also marshall fundraising and organizing networks, binding candidates to elected officials and to affiliated thinktanks. The CM is distinguished because it captured an entire party, and tied it to an emphatically rightwing ideology.
The three components of the CM are the neoconservatives (neocons), religious right (theocons, "Moral Majority"), and the AEI-affiliated business conservatives (money cons).

More important, conservatives who embraced conspiratorial thinking shared a sufficient set of complaints, assumptions, and common enemies that united them with their more "respectable" cohorts in one movement. They swam in the same ideological waters as the broader conservative movement... and. above all, participated in building one mobilization out of their common grievances against American liberalism.

Get the Conservative Movement mug.A project by the horribly biased wiki Conservapedia in an attempt to 'remove' liberal 'bias' in the bible by retranslating it. It removes the story of the Adulteress in the New Testament, and changes 'thou shall not kill' into 'thou shall not murder', thus in turn promoting the beating up of women who get raped (just like Saudi Arabia) advocating the cruel and unusual death penalty. I heard there's going to be more horrible things.
The idiots at Conservapedia have decided to corrupt the word of the Lord by creating the Conservative Bible Project.

Get the Conservative Bible Project mug.A conservative who usually is usually conservative on the matters of tax reduction, international policy and gun rights, but can often times be liberal on such issues as drug prohibition, abortion and adult material.
They see liberal establishments like Moveon.org and College Liberals to be outdated or sometimes hypocritical, due to the perceived notion that they're concerned with only promoting certian rights for people and not others and put their own special interests in front of national security.
They also tend to be suspicious of political correctness, seeing it as an ironic classification of people who wanted to escape classification.
Many can be irreligious.
They tend to be late Generation X (1975-9) or early to mid Generation Y (1980-5).
Named after the cartoon South Park.

A Conservative Hippy is one who isn't fully conservative or liberal. Someone who believes in the greater good of society and quality of life, but with the freedom of each individuals own choice, not the governments. Open minded to all cultures, sexual orientation, race, and creed.
