From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Conservatism (Latin: conservare, "to preserve") is a political and social philosophy that promotes the maintenance of traditional institutions and supports minimal and gradual change in society. Some conservatives seek to preserve things as they are, emphasizing stability and continuity, while others oppose modernism and seek a return to "the way things were." The first established use of the term in a political context was by François-René de Chateaubriand in 1819, following the French Revolution. The term has since been used to describe a wide range of views. According to Hailsham, a former chairman of the British Conservative Party, "Conservatism is not so much a philosophy as an attitude, a constant force, performing a timeless function in the development of a free society, and corresponding to a deep and permanent requirement of human nature itself". Robert Eccleshall states, "It is the persistent image of society as a command structure in which the responsibilities of leadership can be exercised within the framework of a strong state manifested in divine-right royalism ... that distinguishes English conservatism from rival ideologies." Political science often credits British politician Edmund Burke with many of the ideas now called conservative. Conservative political parties include the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan, the Republican Party in the United States, the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom, the Liberal Party of Australia, the Kuomintang of the Republic of China (Taiwan), the Conservative Party of Canada, Pakistan Muslim League in Pakistan, and the Bharatiya Janata Party in India.

GNU Free Documentation License Is conservative economics doomed to fail since the free movement of labor is prohibited by law? Q. Laissez-faire economics can only work if capital & labor are free to move where the best returns/jobs are. International borders prevent the free movement of labor. This means conservative economics can't work. I'm surprised conservatives aren't calling for OPEN borders to give their Utopian economic theories a chance to work. Instead, they embrace irreconcilable economic contradictions without realizing it. Asked by ideogenetic - Wed Apr 28 19:09:06 2010 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments A. Great point. In fact the real reason that we have an immigration problem in this country is that certain business in this country would rather hire illegals because they work for LESS. I even heard a conservative talking head make the statement that the GOP is equally at fault for our immigration problem. I did not catch his name but he subbed for Sean Hannity on Mon. this week. He made the statement, "Democrats want cheap votes, and Republicans want cheap labor". Later he had Dick Morris as a guest who made the statement that "Democrats want immigrants to vote and not work, and Republicans want immigrants to work and not vote". I applaud that kind of honesty in a political commentator.

I say others because I do not know what to call them. Just about all Republican politicians call themselves Conservatives even the big spending entitlement creating George Bush. I have friends that are true Conservatives and we talk all the time (we argue all the time) and they never say the juvenile low brow stuff I hear others who say who claim to be a Conservative. They will also tell you in a heart beat that George Bush is not a conservative.

Q. I keep being told to vote Conservative in the next election (Canada) but other people tell me to vote Liberal! I don't know the difference between the two. Can someone tell me what the difference is between Conservatives and Liberals? Oh, and try not to be biased.

Answered by Vern86 - Thu Jul 8 16:00:40 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "conservative" Conservatism is a philosophy defined by Edmund Burke as "a disposition to preserve, and an ability to improve". The term derives from conserve; from Latin conservare, to keep, guard, observe. Classical conservatism does not readily avail itself to the ideology of objectives. It is a philosophy primarily concerned with means over ends. To a conservative, the goal of change is less important than the insistence that change be effected with a respect for the rule of law and traditions of society. For
