A person or party who are rather close-minded. They make decisions based upon traditional views and standpoints. They are rather frightened when it comes to new ideas or concepts.

Note: from the standpoint of a liberal
Usually this word is directly affiliated with the Republican party. The way it is defined today means strict laws that favor the Bible and other older teachings, a group that opposes loose personal freedoms but favors loose economic freedoms. Pretty much, anybody who believes that the greater half of life is the work life.
Conservative can be used to describe liberals as well, because liberals favor loose personal freedoms but strict economic laws.
Here's some food for thought:
Democrats are more likely to be involved in scandals NOT INVOLVED with their jobs. Clinton is an example.
Republicans are more likely to be involved in scandals INSIDE their jobs. Tom DeLay is an example.

Above, above.
Type into Google: 2004 Election by IQ. It's pretty hilarious, and may be hard to swallow at first. Also type in '2004 Election by divorce rate' , '2004 Election by education level' , and anything you may find family or education oriented. Favors democrats, mostly New England where I live. More children are left behind in the Bible Belt than anywhere else in the country. Also, the two places that were attacked on Sept 11 are very heavily democratic, which is ironic when you think about it.
Conservative means something entirely different today than it did thrity years ago

Someone who didn't read the constitution

One who dislikes change and therefore progress. If any country, especially the United States, was governed by conservatives from the start, we'd all either be Nazis, dead, or back in the Dark Ages. Often marked by ati-humanitarian, selfish causes such as triumphing businesses over people, promoting Christian prayer in every situation, keeping hate alive by promoting war, and keeping deserving people out of one's country. The conservative has troubles thinking for his/herself, and follows whatever he/she is told. Conservatives have statistically been noted to be the least educated members of a populace.

1. Formerly, one who favors the conservation of traditional views and values. (This definition is now archaic used only in reference to individuals who lived before 1960)
2. A wealthy person who exploits the fears and predjudices of ignorant and uneducated individuals in order to further his own economic, social, and political interests (see 'economic conservative').
3. An ignorant and uneducated person so manipulated (see 'social conservative').

Even though granddaddy made it through the depression working for the WPA and daddy went to college on the GI bill, I always vote conservative because liberals want just want to take my tax money and use it to give handouts to the coloreds.

Someone who usually holds "Christian" values but says and does the most un-christian things. One who thinks that the poor are poor because they are lazy and that the rich earned their success. One who fails to adapt to the present day. The type of person who hates Mexicans with a fiery passion and thinks all brown-skinned Hispanics are Mexicans. They type of person who is against same-sex marriage because it's not "traditional marriage" and denies any arguement against it. One who simply denies any arguement and labels the other person as a "dirty liberal." One who is in adoration of the 9/11 heroes but denies them benefits for what they did. A person who usually labels themselves as "pro-life" but supports war and doesn't want health care that everyone can afford. Usually borderline racist or very racist.
Conservative Motto: Never explain, Never apologize.
Conservative Motto: Never explain, Never apologize.
Bob: Hey! You're a dirty liberal!
Jim: Dirty? Why?
Bob: Because you stand for everything America isn't!
Jim: Isn't it "American" to help other people and ask for rights?
Bob: Well, um...well...uhhhhhhhhhh....
Jim: It appears you have lost this arguem-
Bob: SHUT UP! YOU DIRTY, STINKING LIBERAL!
Jim: Cutting me off and name-calling....Well well, aren't you mature? I thought Conservatives were mature?
Bob: SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
(Pouts and stomps feet on ground)
Jim: Okay, when you're mature enough to carry on a conversation without name calling or cutting me off, come talk to me again.
