This does seem somewhat strange Political liberals are less than half as his arguments are usually backed up with "evidence" in the form of [[quote mining|quote mine]]s, which are frowned upon likely as political conservatives to firmly believe that the quotes are usually out of context and Bible is totally accurate in most cases are an example all of the logical fallacy of principles it teaches (27% versus 63%, respectively); to strongly believe that [[argument from authoritySatan]]. As there are no publications is real (17% versus 36%); and to his name firmly contend that are readily found, we can only judge his intellectual rigour by his many postings at forums across the internetthey have a personal responsibility to share their religious beliefs with others (23% versus 48%).

It appears that throughout his internet forum "debating" career Ken DeMyer uses the same weak quotemining tactic - which seems to get him accused *2% of dishonesty for some reason - loses the argument badly, conservatives and then starts another thread all the while believing he is destroying atheism 11% of liberals were [[Atheism|atheist]] or [[agnostic]] *15% of conservatives and evolution 2% of liberals were [[Evangelical Christians|Christian evangelicals]] *conservatives were twice as likely as liberals to be categorized as [[born again]], based on the internettheir theological views about salvation (63% vs. His retreat to Conservapedia is simply that for once he controls 32%) *21% of conservatives were associated with the ground rules.

===An example of his editing patternConservative magazines and blogs ===There are many instances where one will see Ken taking several edits to make even {{See also|Conservative media}}Well known conservative magazines in the smallest changes to a page. HoweverUnited States include ''[[National Review]]'', one must often be quick to view them''[[Policy Review]]'', as he has been known to delete ''[[Revolver News]]'' and recreate pages, which, as a result, hides the original history of the page from viewothers. Serving as an example that shows how he takes many edits to perform even the slightest task, the following describes a series of 21 consecutive edits made by Ken to his userpage in July of 2010:
#Adds a section titled "Great works of art on atheism" to his userpage. Consists only of a bunch of blank lines, and a random period at Some notable [[Conservative blogs|conservative political blogs]] include the end.#Adds additional blank lines to the section.#Adds additional blank lines to the section ''again'[[Heritage Foundation]]'s Policy Weblog, along with another random period.#Adds additional blank lines to the section ''yet again[[Human Events]]'', for the ''third time in a row''.#Blanks the section, for a reason unknown.#Re-adds a bunch of spaces and this time just one period, which he removed ''just less than a minute ago''.#Replaces the random period with a pointless template that has no effect.#Blanks the section, for the ''second'' time.#Removes the section header itself.#Re-adds the section in a new location (still blank).#Adds an ''additional'' section titled "Great and inspiring art by atheist on atheism" (basically the same thing), this one containing a tumbleweed animation aligned to the center. At this point, he has two sections for exactly the same thing: one blank, one not.#Adjusts the alignment of the animation to the right.#Removes the alignment parameter altogether.#Re-adds the original alignment parameter, aligning it to the center once again (three consecutive edits just to get back to where he started).#Adds a new section titled "Proof and evidence that atheism is valid" right below the last one, with this one's content consisting of a second tumbleweed animation.#Places a link to [[cp:Essay: Proof and evidence that atheism is true|Essay: Proof and evidence that atheism is trueMichelle Malkin]] at the bottom of his userpage.#Removes the two sections consisting of the animations.

TK:{{quoteboxRecently, a division has been created between fiscal conservatism and social conservatism. Fiscal conservatism centers around a low and [[Balanced budget|Okbalanced]] government [[budget]], he and generally is really starting opposed to scare meprograms such as [[Social Security]] and [[Medicare]]. This Its primary goal is just a robot-like repetition to reduce government spending significantly. Social Conservatism, on the other hand, focuses on the moral issues of his front page non-news itemsconservatism. If someone is going to do thisA social conservative will oppose [[same-sex marriage]], why are they always nameless? Seems to me[[abortion]], someone directing tens and the teaching of thousands to CP[[evolution]] in schools. The majority of Conservatives (including most of the [[Republican Party]]) fall into both categories, isn't asking to remain anonymoushowever some fall into one or the other, but not both.Notably, [[Libertarians]] are strong fiscal conservatives but are not socially conservative.For instance, the [[Libertarian Party]] Platform <ref>[http://www.lp.org/platform]</ref> expresses support for the fiscally conservative principles of ending publicly funded [[welfare]] and [[healthcare]] programs as well as reducing government spending overall significantly. However, it also expresses support for [[same-sex marriage]] (with some libertarians leaning towards the ultimate goal of total [[marriage privatization]]) as well as maintaining the legal status of abortion.
Can't someone tell this guy Some Republicans and [[Democrat Party|Democrats]] also fit one category but not the other. Former [[New Mexico]] governor [[Gary Johnson]], who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, was deemed "the most fiscally conservative governor" while he was in office (and probably earned that hyperbole isnhonor given all the spending cuts he made) but at the same time, he supports [[marriage privatization]] and [[abortion]] (though he believes ''[[Roe v. Wade]]''t a sound basis should be overturned on Constitutional grounds). Also, several Democrats have expressed opposition to build anything? }}same-sex marriage and/or abortion, but still support liberal fiscal programs such as Social Security. They would be the opposite of Johnson - socially conservative but fiscally liberal.
Ed Poor:{{quotebox|I think he needs the attention. So let's give him what he needs, so he'll stay enthused.}}=== Expected growth of social conservatism and religious conservatism ===
Well, needless Due to say, the promised masses never materialised, but Conservative stayed enthused - going on to offer such gems as explosive growth of [[cp:Atheism and obesityglobal Christianity]] in traditional cultures and their influence on Western Christianity and the higher birth rate of [[cp:Atheism and bestialityConservative Christianity|conservative Christians]]and religious conservatives, social conservatism is expected to rise.

Ken fancies himself == Personal conservatism ==Because Conservatives often have strong political views, there can be a great debatertendency to see conservatism as a purely political ideology. However, there is also a strong personal side to conservatism - being a conservative is as much about applying conservative values to one's everyday life as it is about campaigning and claims "RationalWikians have lost every single exchange we have ever hadvoting for conservative candidates. In general, conservatives can be characterized by a strong sense of personal [[morality]], a willingness to observe their culture's traditions and customs, and a desire to be respectable and to show due respect to other members of the community."

==Kenny's mammoth subpage count=====Userpage subpagesLoyalists===Conservative The [[Loyalists]] of the [[American Revolution]] were mostly political conservatives, some of whom produced political discourse of a high order, including lawyer [[Joseph Galloway]] and governor-historian [[Thomas Hutchinson]]. However, when the crisis came, they stood with the Crown as it tried to destroy American political liberties. After the war, the great majority remained in the U.S. and became citizens, but some leaders emigrated to other places in the British Empire. [[Samuel Seabury]] was a Loyalist who stayed and as the first American bishop played a major role in shaping the [[Episcopal]] religion, a stronghold of conservative social values. While the Loyalist political tradition died out totally it the U.S., it survives in Canadian conservatism.
Conservative-Research-===Founding Fathers===The [[Founding Fathers]] created the single most important set of political ideas in American-Atheists-organization history, known as [[Republicanism]], which all groups, liberal and conservative alike, have drawn from. Two parties were named "Republican"—the one founded in 1794 by [[Thomas Jefferson]] and [[James Madison]] (it disappeared in the 1820s), and the modern GOP founded in 1854.
Conservative/AlexaDuring the [[First Party System]] (1790s–1820s) the [[Federalist Party]], led by [[Alexander Hamilton]], developed an important variation of republicanism that can be considered conservative. Rejecting [[monarchy]] and [[aristocracy]], they emphasized civic virtue as the core American value. The Federalists spoke for the propertied interests and the upper classes of the cities. They envisioned a modernizing land of banks and factories, with a strong army and navy. [[George Washington]] was their great hero.
Conservative/Causes-On many issues, American conservatism also derives from the republicanism of-atheism[[Thomas Jefferson]] and his followers, especially [[John Randolph of Roanoke]] and his "Old Republicans" or "[[Quids]]." They idealized the [[yeoman]] farmer as the epitome of civic virtue, warned that banking and industry led to [[corruption]], that is to the illegitimate use of government power for private ends. Jefferson himself was a vehement opponent of what today is called [[judicial activism]].<ref>[http://etext.virginia.edu/jefferson/quotations/jeff1030.htm]</ref> The Jeffersonians stressed small government.
Conservative===Ante-Bellum: Calhoun and Webster===During the [[Second Party System]] (1830–54) the [[Whig Party]] attracted most conservatives, such as [[Daniel Webster]] of New England. [[Daniel Webster]] and other leaders of the [[Whig Party]], called it the conservative party in the late 1830s.<ref>The word was originally used in the [[French Revolution]]. The British used it after 1839 to describe a major party. The first American usage is by Whigs who called themselves "Conservatives" in the late 1830s. Hans Sperber and Travis Trittschuh, ''American Political terms: An Historical Dictionary'' (1962) 94-97.</ChristianApologetics ref> [[John C. Calhoun]], a Democrat, articulated a sophisticated conservatism in his writings. [[Richard Hofstadter]] (1948) called him "The [[Karl Marx|Marx]] of the Master Class." Calhoun argued that a conservative minority should be able to limit the power of a "majority dictatorship" because tradition represents the wisdom of past generations. (This argument echoes one made by [[Edmund Burke]], the founder of British conservatism, in ''Reflections on the Revolution in France'' (1790)). Calhoun is considered the father of the idea of minority rights, a position adopted by liberals in the 1960s in dealing with [[Civil Rights]].
Conservative/ChristianbusinessesThe conservatism of the antebellum period is contested territory; conservatives of the 21st century disagree over what comprises their heritage. Thus [[William J. Bennett]] (2006), a prominent neoconservative leader, warns conservatives to NOT honor Calhoun, [[Know nothing party|Know-Nothings]], [[Copperheads (politics)|Copperheads]] and 20th century [[isolationist]]s. Other conservatives disagree with Bennett.
Conservative/Complaints ===Lincoln to Cleveland===Since 1865 the [[Republican Party]] has identified itself with President [[Abraham Lincoln]], who was the ideological heir of the [[Whig Party|Whigs]] and of both [[Thomas Jefferson|Jefferson]] and [[Alexander Hamilton|Hamilton]]. As the [[Gettysburg Address]] shows, Lincoln cast himself as a second Jefferson bringing a second birth of freedom to the nation that had been born 86 years before in Jefferson's [[Declaration of Independence|Declaration]]. The [[Copperheads (politics)|Copperheads]] of the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] reflected a [[reactionary]] opposition to modernity of the sort repudiated by modern conservatives. A few libertarians have adopted a neo-Copperhead position, arguing Lincoln was a dictator who created an all-powerful government.
Conservative/Conservapedia-running-stats-2 In the late 19th century the [[Bourbon Democrat]]s, led by President [[Grover Cleveland]], preached against corruption, high taxes (protective [[tariff]]s), and [[imperialism]], and supported the [[gold standard]] and business interests. They were overthrown by [[William Jennings Bryan]] in 1896, who moved the mainstream of the Democrat Party permanently to the left.
Conservative/ConservapediaThe 1896 presidential election was the first with a conservative versus liberal theme in the way in which these terms are now understood. Republican [[William McKinley]] won using the pro-runningbusiness slogan "[[sound money]] and protection," while Bryan's anti-stats-3bank populism had a lasting effect on economic policies of the Democrat Party.
Conservative[[William Graham Sumner]], [[Yale University|Yale]] professor (1872–1910) and polymath, vigorously promoted a libertarian conservative ethic. After dallying with [[Social Darwinism]] under the influence of [[Herbert Spencer]], he rejected [[evolution]] in his later works, and strongly opposed imperialism. He opposed monopoly and [[paternalism]] in theory as a threat to equality, democracy and middle class values, but was vague on what to do about it.<ref>Curtis, Bruce. "William Graham Sumner 'On the Concentration of Wealth.'" Journal of American History 1969 55(4): 823-832.</Conservapedia-running-stats-4 ref>
Conservative/Conservapediarunningstats ===Early 20th century===In the [[Progressive Era]] (1890s-1932), regulation of industry expanded as conservatives led by Senator [[Nelson Aldrich]] of [[Rhode Island]] were put on the defensive. However, Aldrich's proposal for a strong national banking system was enacted as the [[Federal Reserve System]] in 1913. [[Theodore Roosevelt]], the dominant personality of the era, was both liberal and conservative by turns. As a liberal he took a tough [[Regulation|regulatory]] approach toward businesses and [[trust]]s, and (post-presidency) fought for social insurance for the elderly. As a conservative he led the fight to make the country a major naval power, and demanded entry into [[World War I]] to stop what he saw as the [[German Empire|German]] attacks on civilization. [[William Howard Taft]] promoted a strong federal judiciary that would overrule excessive legislation. Taft defeated Roosevelt on that issue in 1912, forcing Roosevelt out of the GOP and turning it to the right for decades. As president, Taft remade the [[Supreme Court of the United States|Supreme Court]] with five appointments; he himself presided as chief justice in 1921–30, the only former president ever to do so.[[Image:Gop-plank.JPG|thumb|275px|1936 cartoon shows GOP building its platform from the conservative planks abandoned by the Democrats]]Pro-business Republicans returned to dominance in 1920 with the election of President [[Warren G. Harding]]. The presidency of [[Calvin Coolidge]] (1923–29) was a high water mark for conservatism, both politically and intellectually. Classic writing of the period includes ''Democracy and Leadership'' (1924) by Irving Babbitt and [[H.L. Mencken]]'s magazine ''American Mercury'' (1924–33). The [[Efficiency Movement]] attracted many conservatives such as [[Herbert Hoover]] with its pro-business, pro-engineer approach to solving social and economic problems. In the 1920s many American conservatives generally maintained anti-foreign attitudes and, as usual, were disinclined toward changes to the healthy economic climate of the age.
Conservative/CreationistResourcesDuring the [[Great Depression]], other conservatives participated in the taxpayers' revolt at the local level. From 1930 to 1933, Americans formed as many as 3,000 taxpayers' leagues to protest high [[property tax]]es. These groups endorsed measures to limit and rollback taxes, lowered penalties on tax delinquents, and cuts in government spending. A few also called for illegal resistance (or tax strikes). The best known of these was led by the Association of Real Estate Taxpayers in [[Chicago]] which, at its height, had 30,000 dues-paying members.
Conservative/DarwinAn important intellectual movement, calling itself [[Southern Agrarians]] and based in Nashville, brought together like-Hitler-pics minded novelists, poets and historians who argued that modern values undermined the traditions of American [[Republicanism]] and civic virtue.
The Depression brought [[liberal]]s to power under President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] (1933). Indeed, the term "liberal" now came to mean a supporter of the [[New Deal]] and Roosevelt's powerful [[New Deal Coalition]]. In 1934 [[Al Smith]] and pro-business Democrats formed the [[American Liberty League]] to fight the new liberalism, but failed to stop Roosevelt's shifting the Democrat Party to the left. In 1936 the Republicans rejected Hoover and tried the more liberal [[Alf Landon]], who carried only [[Maine]] and [[Vermont]]. When Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court in 1937 the conservatives finally cooperated across party lines and defeated it with help from Vice President [[John Nance Garner]]. Roosevelt unsuccessfully tried to purge the conservative Democrats in the 1938 election. The conservatives in Congress then formed a bipartisan informal [[Conservative/Dawkins Coalition]] of Republicans and southern Democrats. It largely controlled Congress from 1937 to 1964. Its most prominent leaders were Senator [[Robert Taft]], a Republican of [[Ohio]], and Senator [[Richard Russell]], Democrat of [[Georgia]].
Conservative/EnglishIn the United States, the [[Old Right]], also called the Old Guard, was a group of [[libertarianism|libertarian]], free-Countriesmarket anti-interventionists, originally associated with Midwestern Republicans and Southern Democrats. The Republicans (but not the southern Democrats) were [[isolationist]]s in 1939–41, (see [[America First]]), and later opposed [[NATO]] and U.S. military intervention in the [[Korean War]].
Conservative===Later 20th century: Goldwater and Buckley ===By 1950, [[American liberalism]] was so dominant in academia and journalism that liberal critic [[Lionel Trilling]] dismissed contemporary conservatism and anti-communism as "irritable mental gestures which seek to resemble ideas." <ref>Lapham 2004</EvolutionAsSocialConstruct ref> But just as Trilling was writing a revival was underway. In the 1950s, principles for a conservative political movement were hashed out in books like [[Russell Kirk]]'s ''The Conservative Mind'' (1953) and in the highly influential new magazine ''[[National Review]]'', founded by [[William F. Buckley]] in 1955.
Conservative/Gentlemen-you-are-being-grossly-deficient-about-Conservapedia-reporting -again Whereas Taft's [[Old Right]] had been [[isolationist]] the new conservatism favored American intervention overseas to oppose [[Communism]]. It looked to the [[Founding Fathers]] for historical inspiration as opposed to [[John C. Calhoun|Calhoun]] and the antebellum South.
Conservative/JohnsHopkinsThe success of the [[Civil Rights movement]] came in the Civil Rights Act of 1957, the [[bi-partisan]] [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]] and the [[Voting Rights Act]] of 1965. Conservatives supported all, but [[Barry Goldwater]] bucked party leadership to win a few Southern states for the first time since Reconstruction. Until then southern whites (both liberal and conservative) had been locked into the Democrat Party. That lock was now broken and some southern conservatives voted for Goldwater for president in 1964. In 1968, southern Democrats ran their own candidate against Richard Nixon. The southern blacks now began to vote in large numbers, and buoyed by [[Great Society]] [[entitlement]]s became Democrats, moving that party in the south to the left. In 1972 fully one third of all Democrats joined Richard Nixon's Silent Majority coalition against the far left progressive Democrats. Democrats shifted their strategy to nominating Southerners for president, Jimmy Carter in 1976, Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, and Al Gore in 2000. As the South became less racist, it became more Republican. By 2000, for the first time, all southern states had a conservative GOP and a liberal Democrat Party. The region split in both federal and state contests. In 2008 the [[Barack Hussein Obama|Obama]] campaign rebuilt the Clinton coalition in [[Florida]], [[Virginia]] and [[North Carolina]].
Conservative/LearningADHDandOther Goldwater, a charismatic figure whose intense opposition to all [[New Deal]] programs angered liberals, was defeated in a landslide in 1964. Goldwater faded and his supporters regrouped under new leadership, especially that of [[Ronald Reagan]] in [[California]], and regained strength nationally in the 1966 elections. Conservatives voted for [[Richard Nixon]] in 1968, who narrowly defeated the New Deal champion [[Hubert Humphrey]], and southern demagogue [[George Wallace]]. Nixon had come to terms with both the Goldwater wing of the party and the still-influential Rockefeller Republicans (Republicans from the [[Northeast]] who supported many New Deal programs).
Conservative/Mail ===Nixon, Reagan, and Bush===
Conservative/Margaret SangerThe Republican administrations of President [[Richard Nixon]] in the [[1970s]] were characterized more by their emphasis on ''[[realpolitik]]'', [[détente]], and socialist [[economic planning]] policies such as [[wage and price controls]], than by their adherence to conservative rhetoric and more liberal actions.
Conservative/NazismIn the eight years of [[Ronald Reagan]]'s presidency 1981-professor-values-newspapers-church 89 the American conservative movement achieved ascendancy. In 1980 the GOP took control of the Senate for the first time since 1954, and [[conservative principles]] dominated Reagan's economic and foreign policies, with [[supply side economics]] as well as a strict opposition to [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[Communism]]. The [[free trade]] movement was used as a means to promote [[capitalism]] in the [[Third World]] to counter [[Marxist]] [[national liberation movement]]s. Reagan promised to cut [[welfare]] spending but failed to do so. He did cut taxes, but raised [[military spending]] and created large [[federal deficit]]s that turned out working to our advantage, because at that time, deficits didn't matter. It should be known that the Republicans also [[Balanced budget|balanced]] the [[budget]] in the late 1990s.
Conservative/Online Videos Regarding AtheismAn icon of the American conservative movement, Reagan is credited by his supporters with transforming American politics, galvanizing the Republican Party, uniting a coalition of economic conservatives who supported his supply-side economic policies, known as "[[Reaganomics]]," foreign policy conservatives who favored his success in stopping and rolling back Communism, and social conservatives who identified with Reagan's conservative religious and social ideals.

The conservative fertility advantage probably will not give conservatives some inevitable long-term political edge ===
Conservative/abortionworkspace''See also:'' [[Fertility rates of conservatives vs. liberals in the United States]]
[[File:Donald Trump official presidential photo.jpg|180px|right|thumb|[[Donald Trump]] ]]The article ''The Conservative/alexa Fertility Advantage'' by the Institute for Family Institute indicates:{{Cquote|Data about fertility rates is only available for around 600 of the largest counties, thus many small, rural counties are excluded. But the relationship shown here is clear: President [[Donald Trump|Trump]] did better in counties with higher birth rates, and the difference is fairly large, with the most pro-Biden counties having total fertility rates almost 25% lower than the most pro-Trump counties. If anything, this effect is understated, since the most pro-Trump counties were small, rural counties that usually have even higher birth rates and are excluded from this analysis. Indeed, Yi Fuxian at the University of Wisconsin showed that the relationship between voting and fertility is even more pronounced when we look at fertility rates and state voting trends...
Conservative/atheismrelatedresearch As can be seen, the [[Republican]] fertility advantage is relatively stable across elections. It even shows up in a panel model, suggesting that as counties become more Republican, their fertility rates tend to rise relative to the national average. The use of state controls (and some robustness tests I ran in large states with many counties) suggests this effect isn’t driven by unique features of states: within [[Red state]]s or [[Blue states]], and controlling for county racial and ethnic characteristics and population densities, Republican counties have higher birth rates.
Conservative/atheistswebtrafficThis is particularly astonishing given that Democrats perform very well in counties with many Hispanic and black voters, who have higher birth rates than non-Hispanic white Americans (and indeed, the more non-Hispanic whites in a county, the lower its birth rate in my models). The relationship is also unchanged if the sample is restricted to only very-high-density counties, such as those representing the center of major cities. In other words, the Republican “fertility advantage” does not arise from more rural counties with higher birth rates, and it exists despite the fact that much of the Democratic Party’s electoral base is among racial and ethnic groups with higher birth rates in general. The split I identify isn’t about race or urbanization or region of the country: it’s about family. Within racial- or ethnic-groups, within states or urbanized areas, the more conservative areas tend to have more babies.
Conservative/awaymessage In the 1970s, there was little or no difference in fertility rates between liberal and conservative women. But by the 2000s, completed fertility for liberal women had declined markedly below that of conservative women. In recent years, the gap in childbearing between young conservative and liberal women has really opened, which may portend a bigger gap in the coming years...
Conservative/biaswikipedia Before the 1990s, fertility differences by ideology were small. Women over age 45 had no difference in completed fertility, and women of all ages (but with controls for year of age) had only a small difference. There was, however, already a difference in ideology: conservative women reported a childbearing ideal about 0.12 kids higher than liberal women, which is a small, but significant, difference.
For the period after 1995, however, gaps grow. Conservative/churchbloggingwebsitewomen over age 45 had about 0.25 more children on average than their liberal peers, an effect which in fact shows up throughout the age distribution once the “over 45” restriction is relaxed. The gap in fertility ideals grew larger as well.
Conservative/coding In other words, the “family gap” between conservatives and liberals is a new phenomenon. It’s only in the last two decades that conservatives began to reap a fertility advantage. But it’s not just a fertility difference: if controls for marital status are removed, the conservative fertility advantage gets even bigger. That is, conservatives are simply more likely to be married than liberals. Thus, there is a conservative-liberal gap on marriage and separately on odds of childbearing conditional upon marital status...
Finally, this conservative fertility advantage probably will not give conservatives some inevitable long-term political edge. Fertility rates are falling for conservatives just as much as liberals. Given the size of the fertility differential between conservatives and liberals, it doesn’t actually take a large amount of ideology switching to offset this higher birth rate. Thus, while conservatives may wish that their fertility advantage could afford a durable political majority, that hope is probably just as fleeting as the now-silly-sounding claims of progressives a decade ago that immigration would create a durable Democratic majority. That’s because, at least right now, conservative parents have not been sufficiently successful in keeping their kids in the fold.<ref>[https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-conservative-fertility-advantage The ConservativeFertility Advantage] by the Institute for Family Institute</comingattraction ref>}}
Conservative/contact==Conservatism outside the United States=====Conservatives in continental Europe===Conservatism in Europe is generally synonymous with [[Euroskepticism]] and [[right-wing populism]] – ideologies that support local control, [[self-governance]], [[patriotism]] and national identity, [[sovereignty]], less immigration, and a more limited government as opposed to an endless EU bureaucracy. While mainstream [[establishment]] parties in Europe are also occasionally labeled "conservative" by the media, they share many of the same policies as globalism and liberalism.
Conservative/documentaryhypothesis parties in Europe include the [[Swiss People's Party]], [[Law and Justice]], [[Fidesz]], [[Lega Nord]], the [[Austrian Freedom Party]], [[Sweden Democrats]], [[Finns Party]], [[Conservative People's Party of Estonia]], [[Vox (Spain)|Vox]], and the [[Alternative for Germany]], among other parties. Prominent continental European conservatives include [[Viktor Orbán]], [[Václav Klaus]], [[Matteo Salvini]], [[Santiago Abascal]], [[Christoph Blocher]], [[Jarosław Kaczyński]], [[Santiago Abascal]], and [[Norbert Hofer]].
Conservative/e Right-wing populism in Europe has grown since the [[Eurozone Crisis]] and [[European migrant crisis]].
Conservative/evo===Conservatives in Britain===
Conservatism has a strong tradition in the [[United Kingdom]], with figures such as [[John Locke]] and [[Edmund Burke]] laying its philosophical foundation. Most British conservatives belong to the [[Conservative/evolution-new-tempParty (UK)|Conservative Party]] – a [[big tent]] party that includes both consistent conservatives and liberal [[globalists]] – as well as the [[United Kingdom Independence Party]], [[Brexit Party]], and the [[Democratic Unionist Party]]. Some notable British conservatives include [[Winston Churchill]], [[Enoch Powell]], [[Margaret Thatcher]], [[Ian Paisley]], [[Nigel Farage]], [[Raheem Kassam]], and [[Jacob Rees-file Mogg]].
Up until the mid-19th century, the forerunner of the ConservativeParty were known as [[Tory|Tories]], and the name has persisted as a common nickname both for the political party and those believed to be in agreement with it. Since the mid-to-late 1970s, British conservatives have been defined by an advocacy of [[laissez-faire]] economics, privatization and lower taxation. In recent years the Conservative Party has moved away from the social conservatism which once characterized it, and the current party policy includes, for example, support for [[abortion]] on demand, gay [[civil partnership]], the [[Kyoto Treaty]] and to oppose [[capital punishment]] (although it should be noted that such policies have little support among the party's grassroots membership).<ref>John Charmley, ''A History of Conservative Politics Since 1830'', (2nd ed. 2008)</hitlerevolution ref> In common with conservatives in many other countries, British Conservatives tend towards a patriotic rather than internationalist outlook, and are traditionally skeptical of the [[European Union]].
Conservative/homosexualityresearch2[[Margaret Thatcher]] revitalized the British conservatives much like Reagan revitalized American conservatives. During her tenure as Prime Minister, she cut taxes, trimmed back at government waste, and exercised a strong national defense abroad (including the [[Falklands War]] of 1982).
Conservative/intelligent design Levels of prayer and worship are much lower in [[England]] and [[Wales]] than in the U.S., and religious issues thereby play less of a role in public discourse. However, religious issues remain a significant factor in [[Northern Ireland]] and in 2008 religious issues were significant during a special election in [[Scotland]].
ConservativeThe broadcast media (dominated by the [[BBC]]) is almost exclusively [[liberal]] in tone. The print media is slightly different with conservative-leaning newspapers like the ''[[Daily Mail]]'', ''[[Daily Express]]'' and ''[[Daily Telegraph]]'' selling more copies than their rivals.<ref>[http:/internetusageandrelatedresearch /www.mediauk.com/the_knowledge/i.muk/An_introduction_to_newspapers_in_the_UK Media UK; Introduction to newspapers in the UK]</ref> However, even the print media generally leans liberal.
===Conservatives in Canada===Many Canadian conservatives align with the [[Conservative/listParty of Canada]], though the party does not strongly adhere to conservative values. The [[Christian Heritage Party]] is an example of a smaller but more consistent conservative Canadian party.

ConservativeAustralia was once more conservative than England but sweeping [[gun control]] laws pushed the nation leftward toward greater dependency on government in the last decade. In 2009, opposition to government control based on alleged [[global warming]] galvanized conservatives there and they led the [[Liberal Party of Australia]] to a repudiation of an emissions trading scheme.<ref>http:/m /www.smh.com.au/national/shock-result-as-abbott-wins-liberal-leadership-by-one-vote--ets-dead-20091201-k1uz.html</ref> Conservatives also support smaller political parties such as the [[Family First Party]].

Conservative/newresearch == Benefits of Conservatism ==
Conservative/paleoanthropology-field Several facets of conservatism function in unison to make it an effective and powerful philosophy. Conservatism emphasizes personal freedom, independence, and initiative; this allows the [[best of the public]] to rise to their natural level of achievement. Conservatives recognize that [[big government]] fosters dependency and stifles individual achievement—and thus, weakens society as a whole.
Conservative/picuploadingAt the same time, conservatives also recognize that with individual freedom comes [[individual responsibility]]. In the absence of a hand-holding [[nanny state]], it is imperative that each individual take responsibility for his own actions, and exercise his rights and freedoms wisely and with discretion. Thus, [[social conservatism]] is also critical to a successful society, as it emphasizes the importance of [[morality]], duty, and responsibility to one's self and fellow men.

In case you are wondering the evidence suggests he is in his mid 50's. ==Coverage of behaviour==The coverage of Conservative's activities by RationalWiki have several times come under scrutiny by contributors following speculation on Ken's mental state. These comments usually follow an extended editing session by Ken lasting for several hours or more with little or no clear breaks - the most notable to date being a [[#Conservative_style.2C_obsessive-compulsive_disorder.2C_and_delusions|30-hour editing session]] in June 2009 - raising questions of ethics amongst RationalWiki contributors in its coverage of an individual displaying exceedingly erratic behaviour, as well as sometimes abusive comments made by individual editors toward Ken following particularly abhorrent or offensive statements made by him. As such, our coverage of Ken's behaviour has been justified in that as long as [[Andrew Schlafly]], founder, owner, and, for lack of a better word, "leader" of Conservapedia, continues to allow Conservative's editing on his website, RationalWiki is free to cover it. Despite the very bizarre nature of Ken's articles - or perhaps because of it - his articles have boosted Conservapedia in search engine rankings, and as such it is unlikely that Andy will ever offer Ken help for fear of losing the one contributor who puts his website on the radar, albeit for all the wrong reasons. === Explanation===He's a '''"bot"''': # 16:41, 10 September 2007 Aschlafly (Talk | contribs) changed group membership for User:Conservative from sysop to bot OK, it was a ASchlafly slip of the finger, but still ...? {{quotebox|[I]f I could find my javascript implementation, with a few tweaks I could almost certainly replace Ken with a very small shell script. --JeevesMkII}} =Awards={|style="width:400px; height:200px; text-align:center; padding: 10px 40px 10px 40px;" border="5px #0000BB solid" align="center"|-|[[Image:Wm Dembski.jpgPrevious Breaking News/Conservatives|center]]This is to certify that '''[[UserPrevious Breaking News:Conservative|Conservative<br>Conservatives]]''' received the '''<big>WILLIAM DEMBSKI INTELLIGENT DESIGN AWARD FOR AESTHETICALLY UNPLEASANT DESIGN</big>''' From RationalW<!---->iki, on November 21, 2008
