What does being a 'true conservative' mean?

when they say Palin is a true conservative, is that made as a compliment or an offense?


What does being a 'true conservative' mean?
having blind faith on stuff thats contravertial like dinasours lolWhat does being a 'true conservative' mean?
It depends on what side of the fence you're on politically. If you're a liberal you may think that being labelled a true conservative is an offense, if you consider yourself a conservative and are labeled a true conservative then you'll think it's a compliment.





However, a true conservative is one who politically believes in smaller government, fiscal responsibility (low spending), strong military, and injects moral values into their political decision making. Sarah Palin fits the bill for most of this, but I wonder if anyone realizes she's not exactly a true conservative because she has done more spending than most republican governors to date.
At this point......saying you are a true conservative means you have completely abandoned the Republican party, since it has completely abandoned conservative ideals.





Look....





Neo-Conservative HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH True Conservative





The Bush/Palin form of 'CONSERVATIVE' is a spend happy, debt running, nation invading orgy that relies on jingoism, division and fear rather then offer anything optimistic or hopeful about our nation's future.





Barry Goldwater would be a Democrat if he was entering politics today.
susiesays - you are correct in your description of a ';real conservative';. However, Palin conservatism is not of an ';individual';, It is a right wing evangelical conservatism that claims individualism, except when it comes to an ';individuals'; body, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs.
true conservatives =





*rejection of communism, socialism, socialism lite, liberalism, liberalism lite.





*rejection of universal anything (except universal acknowledgement of traditional American moral goodness and American power).





*rejection of terrorism and terrorists (foreign %26amp; domestic).





*believing in the restriction of government powers as outlined in the Constitution et. al.





*still believe that holding US citizenship is a very special privilige.





*understanding that Western religion is the bedrock upon which the success of our civil society rests (without religion, people have no reason to behave properly)





*understanding that welfare helps no one, especially the recipient and that the way to prosperity is to work harder than you ever believed you could and to try try again, never quitting.





*reject slavery in all forms, including that suffered by illegal immigrants by their immoral employers/owners.





and that's for starters.
It's kind of vague. There are different types of Conservatism. Neo-conservatism. Paleo-Conservatism. Religious Conservativism. Libertarian Conservatism. No one can really agree what ';true Conservatism'; is. But in my opinion, she's more of a Conservative than Bush or McCain.
It is someone who is strong on taxes and very, very right-leaning on social issues like abortion, guns etc. This a different ideology than the ';Neo-conservative';, huge government, Bush, McCain type of conservative.
compliment! A true Conservative loves small government, lower taxes and respects always the rights and libertys of the INDIVIDUAL! Along with the belief in a strong national military!
True conservative means small government and individual liberty.





Palin is into socialism for the rich, Religous fundmentalism, and military expansionism.
Means she toes the social and religious lines established by evangelicals who rule the right wing of the Republican party.
It means that her brain has been scrambled from ';Mad Moose Disease.'; The worms have eaten into what is left of her brain and are twistin' and squirmin' in there, I betcha...
That picture is disgusting and I think you need to focus on cleaning up your act before attempting to understand politics.
It means you are either a hillbilly or a bible thumper....or both.
compliment.
