    Taking the piss is what conservatism is all about. I think I should get another bonus point.

    Seriously though, conservativism is mostly defined by what it is not: liberalism (the real kind) or socialism (and communism).
    Alternatively, the leftist ideology can be defined in terms of what it is not: Conservatism and since the principles are derived from natural rights, it seems to me that it was around first as well.
    Your argument is dualist.
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    I thought about this. I found my way of defining it easier. Note that I did give an actual explanation with as little referral to the other systems as well.

    Conservatism can hardly be called an ideology. It's a collection of ideologies (most notably capitalism) and tradition (often inspired by Christianty). Liberalism and socialism are ideologies, abstract concepts of a 'perfect' world.

    O, and the natural rights thing is essentially liberalism

    Actually, parts of true liberalism is a (small) part of conservatism, but don't let that spoil the fun

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
