Paleoconservative is a type of academic or scholarly conservative who emphasizes religious heritage, national identity and sovereignty, opposition to illegal immigration, criticism of entitlement programs, and the importance of demographics.  The paleoconservatives distinguish themselves from, and oppose, the [[neoconservatives]].

'''Paleoconservative''' is a "ideological" term that describes a academic or scholarly [[conservative]] who emphasizes religious heritage, national identity and sovereignty, opposition to illegal immigration, criticism of entitlement programs, the importance of demographics, and a anti-interventionist policy of [[Robert Taft]].  

The leading publication of the paleoconservatives is Chronicles magazine, which held a forum on the meaning of its movement.<ref>http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/Chronicles/January2001/0101RoundTable.htm</ref>

Unlike most conservatives today, paleoconservatives are against the [[Iraq War]]. They are highly critical of the [[George W. Bush|Bush administration]] and the mainstream conservative movement. Paleoconservatism vocally distinguishes itself in its opposition to [[neoconservative|neoconservatism]].

<blockquote>''Paleoconservative'' becomes a conceptual and political counterpoint to ''neoconservative'' in ''The Conservative Movement'' by Thomas Fleming and Paul Gottfried (1988). Here the term no longer refers merely to conservative traditionalists of the 1950s and 1960s, e.g., Souther Agrarians, Catholic anticommunists associated with ''National Review'', and Taft Republicans who rallied to the Cold War. Instead, the term is now applied to embattled conservatives who opposed the growing influence of anticommunist New Deal Democrats on the Reagan presidency and on the conservative movement on the 1980s.</blockquote>
