Line 1: Line 1: −
[[Category:Conservative]]A '''movement conservative''' is one who supports all or nearly all [[conservative]] principles with a coherent philosophy, and who advances broad [[conservative]] goals both individually and through teamwork.  This is contrasted with [[Republican in name only|cafeteria]], or single-issue, or self-serving approaches.

Put another way, 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 himself, but advocates the insights and values of [[conservatism]] for the benefit of others.
