Conservatives
People who, under the pretext of religion and false "moral truths" perpetuate their greed and gain in a free-market system by exploiting the poor and working to extinguish as many civil liberties as possible. They also typically label pacifists and intellectuals as "freedom haters" and other ridiculous bullshit.

Conservatives are just Nazis without armbands. They wear ties instead of Swastikas but they hate Jews and blacks and homosexuals openly.

Conservatives
The people in charge of the government right now who are unfairly labeled as homophobes and Nazis because they choose to act in the best interests of the citizens of this nation who happened to elect them to office under our beautiful and envied democratic system of government. In addition, they're the reason why your ass is alive.

Clinton's administration had security failures for 8 years that were kept hidden until 9/11 occurred. That says alot.

Conservative
Despite the misgivings of certain individuals who have an absurdly black/white view of the political spectrum, conservatism does not instantly mean hypocrasy and it certainly is not necessarily far-right in philosophy. Conservatism can be broadly categorised in two areas:

1. Fiscal conservatism. A belief in personal responsibility for finances. Scaling back taxation to allow greater control over individual incomes. Conservative thinking promotes cutbacks in public spending enabling tax breaks to be given to those that are earning, and believes in helping those out of work back into self sufficiency.

2. Social conservatism. Contrary to the fiscal conservatism, social conservatives believe in placing restrictions on personal freedoms, resulting in more government involvement into the daily lives of individuals. This is also known as neo-conservative.

I am a fiscal conservative, but a social liberal.
By Cassy
Conservative
1) One who espouses a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change.

2) One who believes in less government being better government.

3) One who believes in such "outmoded" ideas as civil liberties (freedom of speech, separation of church and state, right to keep and bear arms, that kind of thing)

4) One for whom the Republican Party no longer truly speaks.

5) a word that today's so-called "conservatives" don't know the definition of.

"Today's so-called 'conservatives' don't even know what the word means. They think I've turned liberal because I believe a woman has a right to an abortion. That's a decision that's up to the pregnant woman, not up to the pope or some do-gooders or the Religious Right. It's not a conservative issue at all." -- Barry Goldwater

Conservity
The act of kinda sorta being a "fiscal conservative" except when actual fiduciary responsibility conflicts with your asinine social morality.

When the president drained the secret service budget through extended vacations at his own private resorts, charging usury room rates to the people assigned to protect him, the conservity lineup on Fox and Friends said nothing.
By Gwenneth
Conservative
1) A non argument used by people, egged on by talking heads. Often used in place of an intelligent point.

2) The annual budget report angered many conservatives due to the outrageous disparity between the money created, and spent.
