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 advocated [[selfishness]].

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.
