Environmentally and socially conscious political conservative. This term was coined by National Review columnist Rod Dreher, and appears in his book, "Crunchy Cons: How Birkenstocked Burkeans, gun-loving organic gardeners, evangelical free-range farmers, hip homeschooling mamas, right-wing nature lovers and their diverse crowd of countercultural conservatives plan to save America (or at least the Republican Party)."
"'Ewww, that's so lefty,' Dreher's editor at his old National Review job sneered when Dreher said he was picking up some locally grown organic produce. And what's with the sandals I'm wearing, he then thought; am I going liberal? Not a bit, he concluded, though if associating with liberals could help him have healthy, flavorful food and a beautiful, durable home; be involved in his children's education; protect and nurture the environment and other species; and live with religious integrity, then associate, befriend, and work with liberals he would. That made him a crunchy conservative . . ."

Why do the cuckservatives in Washington always seem to care more about Israel's borders than they do America's?

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 very sad and predictable mental dwarf who believes himself to be "conservative" when in reality is a devolution from any such sublime ideology. You will see these fecal smears trolling chat sites or forums raving clumsily against mainly "liberals" and ethnics. Often hypocritical, never analytical. They do not engage in logical discourse as real thinking entities, only sling flawed sources under the delusion that it proves anything more than their simplicity. They are also often creepy sociopaths who don't pass on an opportunity to harm someone, or are prone to do so. Only dangerous due to the amount of boring, nonsense traffic they can produce both directly and through upstart kiddy assholes new to the internet who love to toy along with them.
