Your Definition
(adj.) 1. Literally, indicative of a sparing application. Frugal. 2. In the U.S., commonly used by many members of the Republican Party to contrast themselves with liberal politicians, commonly of the Democratic Party. 3. Originally used by Republican Party (U.S.) members to mean conservative application of laws, or minimal government. 4. In modern times, used to indicate existing or past values as opposed to new values. In this sense, "conservative" refers to personal behavior rather than the use of laws. A synonym for this definition would be "unchanging."
