Abstract
The paper discusses how Wolfe examines the reasons behind the conservatives' stance on three principal subjects, that of FEMA, Medicare and the Iraq War, and explores why he thinks the Republican administration is not cut out to govern the American nation. This paper considers the merit of Wolfe's arguments, and contributes its own opinion, giving particular focus on that author's perhaps pertinent omission of the impact of terrorism on the United States government.

This essay considers the merit of Wolfe's arguments, and contributes its own opinion, giving particular focus on that author's perhaps pertinent omission of the impact of terrorism on the United States government. The essay first appears as a diatribe against President Bush as an individual, not as the leader of the Republican Party. Some commentators..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer defines and examines what are known as Liberals and conservatives. The writer discusses that Liberals tend to favor change, they are tolerant and more apt to spend money and use the power of the federal government to assist individuals. Conservative tend to oppose change, they fear the power of the government and seek to restrict it. The writer maintains that Barry Goldwater would be a key conservative in recent times while Franklin Roosevelt might be seen as a recent era liberal.

From the Paper
"According to Webster's New World Dictionary "conservative" is an adjective used to describe someone who is "(1) tending to conserve (2) tending to preserve established institutions (3) opposed to change (4) moderate; cautious." "Liberal" is also an adjective used to describe someone who is "(1) generous (2) ample; abundant (3) tolerant; broadminded (4) favoring reform of progress". While these are the literal definitions of these terms, they do not completely explain their political meaning. This is partly due to the fact that at different times groups calling themselves "Conservative" or ..."

Abstract
The paper examines the Conservative philosophy and explores the extent to which the British Conservative party have been committed to tradition and continuity. The paper discusses how the Conservative party represents the forces of tradition, continuity and status quo and has been the party of choice for voters who abhor left-leaning liberals and state interference in private business. The paper relates, however, that at the same time, the Conservative party has not been averse to subtle changes in its ideology over the years as it has adopted several key liberal doctrines such as 'progressivism' and 'individualism' at various stages in its history.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Conservatism , as the term implies, refers generally to a political philosophy or a frame of mind that favors tradition, continuity and the status quo. However, Conservatism does not have a single uniform doctrine or thesis, and a Conservative party in one country may follow policies or have objectives that are vastly different from those of another country. For example, the Conservative movement in the United States has historically emphasized the principles of economic individualism and social Darwinism, which is closer to the concept of liberalism than the Burkean Conservative doctrine followed in the UK. In Britain, too, Conservatism has not remained a static doctrine but has incorporated aspects of progressivism and individualism, which were previously part of classical liberalism."

Abstract
This paper illuminates the consistency of the war on progressive, liberal, and leftist causes and its impact on the application of public administration, including conservatives' dismantling of the politics-administration dichotomy and the progressive ideals of the New Public Administration. It argues that conservatives have won the battle of reality shaping and imposed their ideology as the dominant narrative in America. Counter-narratives face a daunting task in shifting the paradigm. It also discusses how today, the extremes within this movement barely feel the need to operate within the constraints of the Constitution.

From the Paper
"The conservative ideological victory is nearly complete. After one hundred and fifty years of aggression toward liberal and progressive American causes, the conservative elites can almost claim victory, having thwarted efforts to establish an honest dialectic on wealth, class-based opportunity, and the confounding questions surrounding race. Today, the conservatives of America can launch illegal wars, record unprecedented deficits, restructure the tax code to favor the wealthiest Americans, and subvert even our most basic civil rights and liberties."

Abstract
This paper explores major philosophical dilemmas within the African-American political community. One vital issue discussed is the black community's rejection of a political conservative ideology. The paper focuses in particular on the Black Conservative's rejection of the Affirmative Action system.

From the Paper
"The creation of "visible and aggressive" black conservatives began with the perspectives of Thomas Sowell. Sowell's book "Race and Economics" changed the ideology of many black elitists concerning the condition of black people. This book by Sowell had a very strong influence on many black scholars as well. An article titled "Unmasking the Black Conservatives" by Princeton University African American History professor Dr. Cornell West writes, " Yet the bid for conservative hegemony in black political and intellectual leadership that was initiated by Sowell's book represents a new development in the post civil rights era" (West 1). Many blacks today believe the black conservative's philosophy is something new within our society, but that belief is quite contrary."

Abstract
This paper begins by providing a definition of the terms 'liberal', 'conservative' and 'libertarianism', using the definitions from Dr. Paul Johnson's "Glossary of Political Economy Terms" as a basis. The writer defines each of the terms and then explains why liberalism is superior. The writer maintains that the liberal philosophy lives by one word, balance. Further, the writer notes that there are balances in the fields of cooperation and competition on every level, between private and public institutions and primarily in the rights and needs of the individual compared to the demands of the entire society. The writer concludes that the dreams of the ordinary man are to be free to live and have enough so that the pursuit of happiness can become an actual reality.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Liberals tend to emphasize individual rights over governmental authority and to leave the economy alone, unless it needs help. More and more, the economy has been controlled by conservative elements and this has tended to squelch free trade and put too many regulations on imports, while allowing special interests avenues of squeezing more revenue out of the citizens by legalizing higher interest rates, putting tariffs on imports, freezing influx of cheap labor even while raising private profits by raising prices (such as for gas) and shipping manufacturing out of the country to where free labor resides."
"Where conservatives have traditionally believed in the superiority of the ruling class, today in the United States they have concentrated power and money into smaller numbers of people, corporations and bureaus, and the government is used to protect those interests."

Abstract
This paper discusses the differences between the way conservatives and liberals perceive sexuality in the United States. The terms Republican and Democrat are used, with certain reservations, interchangably with conservative and liberal. The paper presents both viewpoints on the topics of pornography, homosexuality, prostitution, teen pregnancy and sex education.

From the Paper
"It is no secret that the liberals and conservatives of the world do not see eye to eye on many issues. Among the most contentious of the issues at stake, especially in the latter half of the twentieth century and into the modern era are issues relating to sexual practices and sexuality in general. Every culture has rules regulating what is and is not acceptable sexual behavior, and our country has been going through what appears to be an increasingly polarize disagreement about how this culture views sexuality. On one side are the liberals, who basically view human sexuality and its expression as a natural thing requiring very few protections, and these are mostly for minors. Conservatives would have far stricter regulations on many things than currently exist, believing first that sexuality is directly related to a universal human morality, and second that it is the duty of the government to protect that morality.
"Similar fights are taking place in many countries around the globe, often with more drastic consequences than we face here. Yet this does not make the issue any less important on the home front. Here, the debate over sexual rights and liberties is mainly waged by the Democrats on the liberal side and the Republicans on the other. These labels are in actuality rather imprecise, and ignore large portions of both political parties and both political views--not to mention many other parties and views that cannot be painted with such broad brush strokes--but the groups often label themselves and the others in this fashion, not altogether inaccurate."

Abstract
This essay uses the classical conservative text of Edmund Burke, "Reflections on the Revolution in France", and Joseph Conrad's "The Secret Agent" to give a clear perspective on the development of modern conservative views on reformations within a political system and revolutions whose aim is the overthrow of a regime.

From the Paper
"Both revolution and reform lead to a change in existing political circumstances for a given country, and both come about as a result of the emergence of a new politico-ideological culture. The difference between them, therefore, should be sought in the organizational methods used to produce change. This essay draws on Conrad's "The Secret Agent" to explain the ideological establishment of revolutionary thought, and compares it to Burke's "Reflections on the Revolution in France" to make clear why conservatives would prefer a reformation of current political structures to a revolution."

Abstract
This paper offers an objective examination of the issue of gay marriage through the lens of conservative and liberal political ideologies. The author states his intent as exploring the difference in these political ideologies as seen through gay marriage. A definition and brief history of each outlook is given followed by their perspectives on gay marriage and how it fits each ideology.

From the Paper
"As the word implies, conservatism seeks to conserve something, in most cases the traditional values that have previously been discussed, or some sort of social institution from the past. Conservatives also seek to conserve the established social order. That is why conservatives also strongly support such things as the right to own firearms of all types, the death penalty, industry over environmental protection, and a minimally invasive government. These are all things that have traditionally been a part of our nation's heritage. Conservatives feel that if it is traditional and has worked in the past, has held our country together even, then it should be kept as a national institution. Abortion is another good example of an issue that is dear to conservatives. Allowing abortion in this country, when it had traditionally been illegal, was a liberal movement, and one that conservatives feel should be repealed so we can go back to our traditional values of not terminating pregnancies."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the clear issue of maintaining a vigilant and aggressive military has been the sole focus of conservatives (both Republicans and Democrats alike) that will not veer from dominating the Middle East. The paper asserts that this ideology is partially in relation to the conservative issue of Bush's Christian beliefs in a "crusade", which also involve a massive private sector expansion of the military industrial complex to keep American soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and in the Sudan.
