E-Coli conservatism

political belief in cutting government costs even if such cuts result in devastating harm.

We have E-Coli conservatism to thank for lead in children's toys, unsafe non-prescription drugs, and dangerous spinach.

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

Idea that defends absurd things, such as: religions (being that God is unique and one for the whole universe), religious fanaticism, social pressure and obligation to marry, social pressure and obligation to have children and social pressure and obligation to build family.

I am against conservatism.

American conservatism

A political movement whose only uniting principle is an unwillingness to believe that humans are capable of being concerned for someone other than themselves. Typical of moral cowards, they begin with preferable, comforting conclusions before deciding on how to frame an issue to fit that conclusion, if they aren't merely accepting these instructions from Fox News, AM talk radio, shock/cringe message boards, etc.

See also: psychopathy.

Who knew that those affiliated with American conservatism has such a history of corruption and dodging of accountability as a basis for policy? Ex. Their response to ramped defense spending in response to 9/11 was to cut taxes for the rich.
