A law of the Universe, that states that there is a finite amount of ninjutsu available to each side during any given battle. If there are many ninjas, they are all awarded a fraction of the total ninjutsu, or 1/N where N is the number of ninjas present in the fight.
This is the reason why hordes of ninja warriors will be dispatched relatively easily, whereas the lone ninja is almost unstoppable.
Practical applications of the law of Conservation of ninjutsu:
Sir! There's an army of ninjas heading this way!
Don't worry, we can take them.
Oh wait... it seems they've given up, sir. There's only one guy.
GOD DAMN IT RUN!

Environmentally and socially conscious political conservative. This term was coined by National Review columnist Rod Dreher, and appears in his book, "Crunchy Cons: How Birkenstocked Burkeans, gun-loving organic gardeners, evangelical free-range farmers, hip homeschooling mamas, right-wing nature lovers and their diverse crowd of countercultural conservatives plan to save America (or at least the Republican Party)."
"'Ewww, that's so lefty,' Dreher's editor at his old National Review job sneered when Dreher said he was picking up some locally grown organic produce. And what's with the sandals I'm wearing, he then thought; am I going liberal? Not a bit, he concluded, though if associating with liberals could help him have healthy, flavorful food and a beautiful, durable home; be involved in his children's education; protect and nurture the environment and other species; and live with religious integrity, then associate, befriend, and work with liberals he would. That made him a crunchy conservative . . ."

Usually used in sports related situations (but also applicable to all life situations), conservation of greatness describes a situation where a person has just done something earth shatteringly amazing, and then immediately proceeds to attempt another amazing action. The second action has 1% chance of doubling the glory, and a 99% chance of failure, which includes a 50% chance of making the person look like an absolute fool.
Popularly used in the game of ultimate frisbee, but possibly originating elsewhere.
'Conservation of greatness' is rarely used as part of a statement, but instead is the entire statement, said after witnessing the the failed follow up action.
Said with great joy when an opposing team fails to compensate for conservation of greatness, but with utter frustration when your own team mate has just made a fool of himself.

Damn, I heard Chad is a conservative socialist. No wonder he's fucking good at everything.
Political movement in the USA that combines numerous conservative or rightwing movements into a surprisingly cohesive whole. The Conservative Movement (CM) successfully established a dominant role in the Republican Party, and nearly all GOP officials are affiliated with it.
Members of the Conservative Movement are known as "movement conservatives."
In the USA, political parties themselves are very weak and nebulous; historically, they are not bound to any particular ideology or constituency. Instead, parties take their ideological guidance from movements, which endorse candidates based on their commitment to the goals of that particular movement. Movements also marshall fundraising and organizing networks, binding candidates to elected officials and to affiliated thinktanks. The CM is distinguished because it captured an entire party, and tied it to an emphatically rightwing ideology.
The three components of the CM are the neoconservatives (neocons), religious right (theocons, "Moral Majority"), and the AEI-affiliated business conservatives (money cons).
More important, conservatives who embraced conspiratorial thinking shared a sufficient set of complaints, assumptions, and common enemies that united them with their more "respectable" cohorts in one movement. They swam in the same ideological waters as the broader conservative movement... and. above all, participated in building one mobilization out of their common grievances against American liberalism.

Fiscally Conservative with a Socially liberal point of view.
-The belief for smaller government.
-Let idiots be idiots/ you can't fix stupid.
-Support Free trade, deregulation of the economy, reduction of -government spending and deficit, etc.
The in-between: -Make Marijuana legal, but tax the shit out of it.
Hippy side: Supports local and seasonal products, vegans, vegetarians, organic items, gay marriage, looks for peace, and to be the change they wish to see in the world.
A Conservative Hippy is one who isn't fully conservative or liberal. Someone who believes in the greater good of society and quality of life, but with the freedom of each individuals own choice, not the governments. Open minded to all cultures, sexual orientation, race, and creed.

Opposite of a Fox News liberal. Analyst or pundit labeled as "conservative" or Republican by CNN themselves. Meant to show balance of opinion. These talking head do not show the slightest deviation in opinion from their liberal counterparts who also always agree with each other. These "conservatives" agree to anything the host will say. CNN round tables consist of three or more people agreeing, during election nights as many as ten or twelve.
The so-called CNN conservatives are agreeing Al Sharpton or Nancy Pelosi again.
David Gergen agreed with Anderson for 800th time in a row that these Republicans are simply wrong and Obama was brilliant again. He's a CNN conservative.
David Brooks smiled when Piers called him conservative. He went on to praise Barack Obama, Pelosi and ripped every Republican running for office. He said we must support Obama policies. Must be a CNN conservative.
