Conservatism (from Latin conservare = "save" or "preserve" [1]) refers to various political and social philosophies that support tradition and the status quo. However the term has been used by politicians and political commentators with a variety of meanings. The modern political term conservative was used by French politician Chateaubriand in 1819. [2]In Western politics, the term conservatism often refers to the school of thought started by Edmund Burke and similar thinkers.[3] Scholar R. J. White wrote "To put conservatism in a bottle with a label is like trying to liquify the atmosphere [...] The difficulty arises from the nature of the thing. For conservatism is less a political doctrine than a habit of mind, a mode of feeling, a way of living."[4] Russell Kirk considered conservatism "the negation of ideology".[5] Historians use the word "conservative" to describe governments and leaders from the earliest recorded times, but it was not until the Age of Enlightenment, and the reaction to events surrounding the French Revolution of 1789, that modern conservatism rose as a distinct political attitude or train of thought. Many point to the rise of a conservative disposition in the wake of the Protestant Reformation, specifically to the works of influential Anglican theologian, Richard Hooker, emphasizing moderation in the political balancing of interests towards the goals of social harmony and common good. Edmund Burke’s polemic Reflections on the Revolution in France helped conservatism gain prominence. Edmund Burke opposed the French Revolution, which he saw as violent and chaotic. He pressed for parliamentary control of royal patronage and expenditure.[3] His classical conservative position insisted that conservatism has no ideology, in the sense of a utopian program, with some form of master plan. Burke developed his ideas in response to the enlightened idea of a society guided by abstract reason. He anticipated the critique of modernism, a term used at the end of the 19th century by the Dutch religious conservative Abraham Kuyper. Burke did not seek "to give praise or blame to any thing which relates to human actions, and human concerns, on a simple view of the object in all the nakedness and solitude of metaphysical abstraction".[6]

1. Republican Politicians - An Invitation
October 28, 2009
Dear Republican Politicians,
Since you are now a member of what is quickly becoming a party of the past, I invite you to join the Conservative Party. If you are a Republican who ran on conservative values and have been elected as such, join a party which truly represents the views you and those who elected you stand for.
Rather than acquiescing to the views of the political left and your party leadership, move to the Conservative Party and the values that made our country great. Whether you are elected to a federal position or a local position, you are valuable to us. Can you say ... (read more)

2. Republicans and Conservatives: A Parting of the Ways
October 26, 2009
Even the best of marriages have rocky times. Some say, there is always more love from one partner than from the other. Unfortunately, the relationship between the Republican Party and Conservatives has been on a downhill slide for far too long for it to be saved. The Republican Party, it seems, spends far too much time flirting with ideas it claims to disdain. No need for an attorney here, throw the bum out!
In recent times, it has become rather interesting, to say the least, to watch the National Republican Party’s convoluted efforts to sit on both sides of the fence. Think wh... (read more)

In what are definitely tough times economically, every other government seems to be focused on trying to squeeze their cash outflow as much as they can.

6. Can Appraisers Be Held Liable for Fraudulent Property Valuations?
September 17, 2009
Without question, one of the enablers in many fraudulent mortgage lending schemes has been a crooked appraiser willing to give a property any value that the Realtor, mortgage broker, or lender wanted. The real estate bubble could not have been inflated to such a high level without the complicity of many appraisers who threw all conservatism out the window and began giving properties ridiculous values in order to help secure loans.
Now, with the housing market collapsing all around us, these appraisers have had to go back to valuing homes at more reasonable levels. However, this leaves man... (read more)

7. Fashion Bas For Men
September 03, 2009
While men's clothing style barely makes dramatic leaps into the blue, they do make refined changes each fashion season. Men's fashion collections have always welcomed a cool and everlasting conservatism with attention on essential basic investment garments instead of showy and indulgent pieces. Having the least bit of fashion sense doesn't make one any less male. Items like the fit of a coat, correct sleeve length, polished shoes, and correct accessorizing go a ways in complementing or spoiling a man's image. Each man has his very own style and personality. What he wears and the way ... (read more)

8. Obamacare - What would the Great Physician say?
August 13, 2009
In the Obama campaign he was asked what he thought of Jesus Christ. His reply was that when he first heard of Christ he thought that Jesus was a person he would like to know more about. No one can say if he has taken up that quest as yet but here is something he has obviously missed so far.
Americans may be showing a bit of emotion in response to the proposed Health Care bill but they are not the slightest bit impressed with the theatrical sideshows at the Obama Townhall meetings. Michele Malkin who offers a closer look at the meetings has compiled an illustrated guide to the attendees an... (read more)

June 01, 2009
I don’t know if I was attractive by Madona or the Louis Vuitton Kalahari PM, but LV 2009 Ad campaign is absolutely intriguing. Gosh, she is such a perfect model for LV. Who can resist the sophistication and sensuality nurtured by time and wisdom? Although Monogram Multicolor Canvas collection has been a hit since its launch but few LV aficionados will take it seriously rather than a gizmo. In the other hand, LV has been criticized for its conservatism for years. Among the 2009 spring and summer collection, we can easily identify some familiar faces. That’s why this Kalahari Handbag breaks away... (read more)

10. Lots of affordable quallity All in One Printers in the market
March 02, 2009
marlene deidre
Businesses are now practicing conservatism. They choose, hire, and propose ideas and solutions that are multi resultant. Such case rings the same with office equipment. Like the all in one printer.
These all in one printers offer a myriad of office essential features. Aside from printing documents, these machines more or less functions as a photocopier (with cost comparatively equivalent of the photocopier machine’s low cost per page), a scanner, and a fax machine. Less space usage because of condensation of several office equipments, lesser cost for setting up (as opp... (read more)

15. Birth Control Tricks That Don't Work
February 28, 2008
Women have been trying to prevent themselves from having children for centuries, with most societies tolerating or accepting such practices. The fact is, ancient methods of birth control have been in use even during periods that were thought to be controlled by conservatism, religious extremism, and plain ignorance about scientific principles of human reproduction. Some of these actually work while others simply don't. Surprisingly, in this day and age, many people still think these traditional birth control methods are effective. There are also those who prefer to see these folk methods as ... (read more)

16. The Obama Phenomena
February 22, 2008
Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of capital. Our rewards are in direct proportion to our efforts - no free lunch here. If you are energetic and intelligent, connected and educated, you should do fine. If not, you could easily end up living on the streets. This system is susceptible to a dog-eat-dog environment. Monopolies and unlawful oil barons come to mind.
Socialism is defined politically as advocating state ownership of industry, and economically as state ownership of capital. The wealth is evened out and individual effort is not rewarded as sharply as it i... (read more)

October 17, 2007
THE BIASES INVESTORS SUFFER FROM I personally feel a host of people lose money in their investment not because of the capricious nature of the stock market but because of biases in the important investment decisions they make. Many investors unwittingly suffer from one form of bias or the other. In this discussion, I will draw the reader’s attention to the various forms of biases that investors suffer from.
The biases investors primarily suffer from are: overconfidence, representativeness, conservatism, narrow framing and ambiguity aversion.

18. Marc Swanson Paintings and Exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery
September 25, 2007
Marc Swanson’s work examines the notion of masculine identity through a variety of media ranging from film, to sculpture, installation, and painting. Reconciling queer sensibility with the ultra conservatism of rural folk arts, Swanson’s Psychic Studies approaches themes of power, spirituality and tradition through an aesthetic of heightened sensuality. Psychic Studies takes the form of a large reflective wall mount; its radial motif suggestive of a web, shield, mystical symbol, or hunting lodge fixture. Constructed from painted wood and mirrored acrylic, Swanson’s form exudes the timeless pot... (read more)

19. Misconception of Conservatism and Liberalism
September 04, 2007
Many folks think of a conservative as one who espouses the idea of maintaining traditional values especially when it comes to social issues. Liberal thoughts embrace the activist approach regarding social issues. Now, there are those who would associate conservatism with preserving one’s wealth while the liberal focus would tend to spend that wealth excessively. There are some conservatives who believe that conservatives should preserve traditional valves and preserve one’s wealth as well. There are some liberals who believe in being an activist on social issues as well as on money issues. Now... (read more)

23. Funny gifts. To give or not to give.
July 06, 2006
When deciding whether or not to send someone a funny gift, consider the following two things in order to avoid potentially embarrassing your receiver. First and most importantly, consider your relationship with the recipient in judging the appropriateness of your humor. A secretary, for example, should not give her married boss a suggestive gift on the occasion of his retirement, and likewise, a boss should not give his secretary such a gift in recognition of her tenth anniversary with the firm. Second, consider the occasion, and err on the side of conservatism whenever doubt exists as to w... (read more)

24. Should Illegal Immigrants be Allowed?
May 02, 2006
Should Illegal Immigrants be Allowed?
As the nation sputters forward into a new problem of illegal immigrants, neo-conservatism and budget crisis we must wonder what to make of it all. The signals are confusing.
On the one hand we have illegal immigrants who have had to hide from the law, work in poverty like conditions and do not have the same access to education that we have. We believe they are hardworking people truly trying to make the best life they can. They have the American work ethnic that has been lost on so many native born Americans.
However, there is a negative s... (read more)

Banks constitute an important institutional source of financing the working capital requirements of business.
