One day, one lion said to another "compassionate predator...i like it"
Compassionate conservative- Americans are hopeful that in Bush's second term, the compassionate side will kick in.

A weak-minded, indoctrinated humanoid, with immutable groupthink tendencies in support of certain politicians despite glaringly anti-conservative voting records.

A California conservative is an individual who identifies as conservative but operates within the unique political landscape and cultural context of California. Unlike conservatives in other parts of the country, California conservatives tend to hold a more progressive stance on certain social issues, such as LGBTQ rights and environmental protection.
They often embrace a pragmatic approach, combining conservative fiscal policies with a willingness to support progressive social policies. California conservatives recognize the importance of fiscal responsibility and limited government intervention in economic matters. They advocate for low taxes, reduced government spending, and a business-friendly environment to foster economic growth and job creation. However, they also acknowledge the need for certain government programs and regulations to address pressing environmental challenges and income inequality. They like shooting guns.
Tyler: "I never understood how someone could be a conservative in California. Isn't it all liberal out there?"
Ryan: "Well, being a California conservative means finding common ground between conservative principles and the progressive context of the state. We focus on fiscal responsibility but also support social issues like marriage equality and protecting the environment."
Alex: "Yeah, and we like to shoot guns."
A self-centered individual with conservative political values and leanings who thinks nothing of spending upwards of $5 for a single cup of hot liquid (cappuccino) but is less likely to have empathy for the less fortunate by supporting social/political causes catering to the "underserved" because it does not provide a good return on their investment i.e., United Way, Habitat for Humanity or Planned Parenthood. The conservative belief is that they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, so should others beneath them on lower rungs of the economic ladder.
The cappuccino conservative (CappuCon) turns a deaf ear to the plea for supporting efforts to raise the minimum wage because he worked hard for his six-figure salary and believed others should do the same. The cappuccino conservative also is not supportive of United Way efforts because too much of the money goes to programs for people on the other side of the tracks.
