conservatism

1) A psychological condition in which an individual's inability to deal with the existential anxiety of knowing life can be lived more freely and fully manifests as a set of political beliefs.

2) A conscious effort to prevent progress.

1) Monday night football, Wednesday night church, Friday night sitcoms: these were the ideals that stood tall in Karl's mind as he waddled into the ballot box.

2) "Intelligent design applies to social Darwinism too." said George, as he signed another bill in the proud spirit of his father's conservatism.

Small C Conservatism

A person who is conservative in the sense that they don't like change, rather than being Conservative in the sense that they are right wing.

In Canada, it can also mean the Conservative parties in general, rather than THE Conservative Party.

The British Medical Association is an example of Small C Conservatism. The BMA opposed the creation of the National Health Service by Atlee's left wing government, but now opposes the reforms to it that are being proposed by Cameron's right wing government.

Conservatism

Conservatism is a political philosophy for a ruling class and economics – it recognizes a poor class and supports the fact that it will always exist, and it goes on to talk about the elitist class (the wealthy or upper class) – Conservatives believe that this elitist class is the superior class and they deserve to be the ruling class. The elitist class has no obligation to the lower classes. They believe the elitist class is the elitist class because they work harder and are smarter then the lower classes – therefore they deserver positions of power. Conservatism is basically a survival of the fittest philosophy.

For example Ronald Reagan exemplified the conservative ideals with his theory of supply-side economy better know as Reaganomics.
