My Definition of #Conservative Means:

Does not allow the government to acquire large debts without a just and proportioned imposition upon the citizens at large. And this does not mean that each pays an equal burden, it means everyone pays, more appropriately each pays according to their means.

Does not eat live & breathe to Shut-down the Environmental Protection Agency; they support efforts to conserve natural resources and protect human and environmental health.

Does not mean government is bad; it means that government is good but needs only to be big enough to effectively do the job (government is therefore to be best when small & effective).

Does not mean Right Wing Authoritarianism; Republican political conservatives are witnessed by their intolerance of ambiguity and need for cognitive closure, true conservatives are open to change and not fearful of uncertainty. After all The theory of evolution demonstrates that those most likely to survive are those most able to adapt to change.


My definition of conservative does not mean one who is disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change. This is exactly where the GOP is today, trying to return places we were decades and/or a century ago. Oh shucks, as far as the Republican Party is concerned, this is exactly what conservative means. 

Tired of these knuckle heads giving 21st century conservatism a bad name.

There are conservatives who are not associated with the Republican Party in any way shape or form that are good for our society. Together everybody achieves more;  #TEAM
