pseudo-conservative 

A person who claims to be guided by and a follower of conservative ideals and principals, but in reality is primarily and mostly just the opposite. While they may take a conservative stance on a few periphery issues, and even speak in conservative terms and espouse conservative ideas, they are in reality individuals who at their core are functionally anti-conservative.

A good reference group to look at that exemplifies pseudo-conservatism is the neocons. Neocons more often than not espouse ideas such as being "pro-life", pro-Constitution, pro-America, pro-freedom, pro-liberty, and pro-democracy. They will also espouse the idea of "smaller government". However in reality, the policies they support and implement are in direct contrast and conflict with those positions.

Neocons more often than not espouse ideas such as being "pro-life", pro-Constitution, pro-America, pro-freedom, pro-liberty, and pro-democracy, and also espouse the idea of smaller and more limited government. However in reality, the policies they support and implement are in direct contrast, opposition, and conflict with those positions.

A few of many notable examples of pseudo-conservative neocons are...

George H.W. Bush
George W. Bush
Dick Chaney
Mitt Romney
Rich Santorum
Newt Gingrich
Michele Bachmann
Sean Hannity
Mark Levin
Bill O'Reilly

pseudo-conservative 

A person who claims to be guided by and a follower of conservative ideals and principals, but in reality they are primarily and mostly just the opposite. While they may take a conservative stance on a few or more issues, and even speak in conservative terms and espouse conservative core ideas, they are in reality individuals who at their core are functionally anti-conservative. They are a very self contradicted group of individuals.

They are also more often than not blindly pro-war, under any situation and circumstance.

pseudo-conservative 

Conserving the country but not its traditions, anti-foreign, conformist (antinonconformist) demanding relentlessly conformity, giving fake philosophies like air, light and hope, and fake ideologies like anti-Asonianism, and is pseudo-uncompromising, that is, by tolerating no compromises, half-measures or by not understanding defeat, they make up for it with the positive aspects of this political philosophy, by offering air, light and hope which is a fake metaphore, it's pro-intellectual in that the Christians are pseudo-conservative by only accepting conservatism if it's by serious intellectuals, but the rest of this political philosophy isn't conservative because it's different and therefore it's fake, they have fake conformist styles, fake philosophies and fake words.
conservative: I will teach religion into politics.
pseudo-conservative: that's not by a serious intellectual, your religion is crazy, only a cultural conservatism with air, light and hope is the real conservatism.
conservative: there's no such thing as air, light and hope, you're fake, you're making it up!

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
