Line 1: − A '''movement conservative''' is one who recognizes and advocates across-the-board [[conservative]] principles, without exception. This is contrasted with [[Republican in name only|cafeteria, single-issue, or self-serving]] approaches. Movement conservatives, unlike cafeteria conservatives, understand that since conservative philosophy is a coherent whole, it is untenable to discard part of it without discarding all of it. '''Movement conservatives favor [[logic]] rather than self-centered behavior''' and therefore reject the teachings of [[Ayn Rand]], who considered [[selfishness]] to be logical. − Simply put, a movement conservative is a conservative who seeks to help others, and the nation, by explaining, advocating and defending the logical and beneficial conservative approach. A movement conservative is not primarily seeking political gain for him or herself, but advocates the insights and values of [[conservatism]] for the benefit of others. − − Movement conservatives include: − − *[[Irish]] Statesman [[Edmund Burke]], who sided with the [[American]] colonists while in the [[British]] [[Parliament]] at the time of the [[American Revolution]], and who opposed the [[atheist]]ic, [[anarchy|anarchist]] [[French Revolution]]. − *Activist [[Phyllis Schlafly]], who invented [[grassroots]] activism to move the [[United States]] markedly more [[conservative]]. − *Congressman [[John Ashbrook]], who challenge [[globalist]] [[Richard Nixon]] in his primary in 1972. − *Congressman [[Larry McDonald]], M.D., praised as "the most principled man in Congress" by [[Ron Paul]] but was shot down by the [[communism|communist]] [[Soviet Union]] while in flight on [[KAL 007]]. − *Journalist [[Robert Novak]] − *Liberty University founder [[Jerry Falwell]] − *U.S. Senator [[Robert Taft]] of [[Ohio]] − *Political theorist [[Russell Kirk]] − * [[Paul Weyrich]], founder of the Free Congress Foundation and co-founder of the Heritage Foundation and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). − * Congressman and [[Vice President]] nominee [[Jack Kemp]] − * Commentator [[Pat Buchanan]] − * Columnist and economist [[Thomas Sowell]] − * Former [[Alabama]] Supreme Court Chief Justice [[Roy Moore]] − * [[Saint Paul|St. Paul]], author of the largest number of letters in the [[New Testament]] and a [[conservative]] hardliner on many issues. − − {{TOC left}} − − − − − − − − − − − == Honorable Mention == − − * [[Stephen Miller]], top advisor to President [[Donald Trump]] − *U.S. Senator [[Jesse Helms]] of [[North Carolina]] − * Supreme Court Justice [[Clarence Thomas]] − * President [[Ronald Reagan]] − * Attorney General and Alabama U.S. Senator [[Jeff Sessions]] − * Former Governor of [[Alaska]] [[Sarah Palin]] − * [[Ken Cuccinelli]], [[Attorney General]] of [[Virginia]] − * U.S. Senator [[Rand Paul]] of [[Kentucky]] − * U.S. Senator [[Ted Cruz]] of [[Texas]] − * U.S. Senator [[Joni Ernst]] of [[Iowa]] − * Former U.S. Representative for [[Minnesota]]'s 6th District, [[Michele Bachmann]] − * U.S. Representative for [[Iowa]]'s 4th District, [[Steve King]] − * U.S. Representative for [[Ohio]]'s 4th District, [[Jim Jordan]] − * Heritage President and former Senator [[Jim DeMint]] of [[South Carolina]] − * Talk-radio host [[Rush Limbaugh]] − * Activist [[Alan Keyes]] − * Columnist [[Ann Coulter]] − * Columnist and blogger [[Michelle Malkin]] − * Commentator and TV anchor [[Sean Hannity]] − * Commentator and TV anchor [[Tucker Carlson]] − * U.S. Representative for [[Georgia]]'s 9th District, [[Doug Collins]] − * U.S. Senator [[Marsha Blackburn]] of [[Tennessee]] − * [[South Dakota]] Governor [[Kristi Noem]] − * Activist and executive [[Steve Bannon]] − *Supreme Court Justice [[Antonin Scalia]] − *[[Howard Phillips]] − *Author [[William F.
